Troutbeck Cottage
Positioned privately, Troutbeck Cottage has been meticulously upgraded and intelligently reconfigured to create a magnificent modern family home in one of the most highly regarded villages in North Yorkshire. The accommodation has been designed with flexible and relaxed family living in mind, ideal for those who love to entertain. Externally, the large gardens and paddock, extending to 1.44 acres in total, provide private, spacious surroundings with stables for those who wish to keep horses and ponies.

Accommodation
A warm and welcoming hallway, with stairs to the first floor and door to the cloakroom/w.c, gives a wonderful first impression of the home. From here, there is access to the large living room at the front of the house, which is suitable for almost any furniture layout and is filled with light from windows to three sides. The impressive inglenook fireplace is perfect for cosy nights in with family and friends but also provides a characterful centrepiece to a formal room for visitors.

Turning left from the hallway takes you through to the heart of this wonderful property: the modern and expansive kitchen, garden room and family area. The kitchen itself is exceptional and cleverly designed, with a large central island and breakfast bar along with high specification fixtures and fittings including a gorgeous Esse range oven with induction hob. At the opposite end of the room, adjacent to the bi-fold doors leading out to the garden, there is a matching wood-burning stove and pizza oven which the family will love.

One end of the kitchen opens up to a sociable snug area, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, which leads through to the utility room: an ideal space to kick off the boots after a muddy dog walk and for keeping all the day-to-day essentials out of view. Doors from the utility room provide direct access to the garage and rear garden.

At the opposite end of the kitchen, elegant sliding glass doors open into a family room and the garden / dining room, which enjoys a vaulted ceiling and light from windows to three sides overlooking the gardens.

The first-floor accommodation at Troutbeck Cottage is spacious and well laid-out. Enjoying privacy at one end of the house, the large master bedroom suite benefits from a full range of wardrobes and has access to its own luxurious en suite bath and shower room.

The family bathroom services the four remaining large double bedrooms, whilst the study offers the perfect space for those who work from home.

Externally
The gardens and grounds at Troutbeck Cottage measure 1.44 acres in all, with well-manicured lawns and hedges to the front and side, providing privacy and plenty of options for those with green fingers. Double doors from the kitchen lead directly out to the large patio overlooking the paddock: perfect for entertaining guests and enjoying al fresco dining with the family.

Paddock and Stables
From the main driveway, a five-bar gate leads to the hard standing immediately in front of the stables, with a further gate opening up to the immaculately-maintained paddock. Behind the stables, there is a useful storage area.

Driveway and Parking
From Cooper Lane, a shared driveway leads up to the private gravelled drive of Troutbeck Cottage, opening up to a parking and turning area which is large enough for a horsebox and trailers as well as a number of other vehicles. The integral double garage has two double doors, with a courtesy door through to the utility room, ideal for a rainy day shopping trip.

Tenure
The property is freehold and will be offered with vacant possession on completion.
