Scruton, Northallerton

The Nook is a wonderful character detached home situated perfectly on the edge of the exceptional village of Scruton. Now in need of a complete program of refurbishment, it is time for a new owner to create their own dream home in this idyllic spot. The property stands at the end of a no-through road and is positioned in the centre of wraparound, part walled cottage gardens. Those with green fingers will relish the surroundings with some additional outbuildings for equipment and with bags of further potential.

The accommodation internally offers two large reception rooms both with fireplaces along with a large kitchen, utility room and a great separate pantry. Three double bedrooms on the first floor are serviced by the ground-floor bathroom. Outside a gated driveway opens up to provide off-road parking for several vehicles.

Available with no upper chain.
