Caulkley’s Bank House, Stonegrave YO62 4LJ

This handsome stone built, detached family house occupies an elevated position on the edge of this village with stunning views across the valley. The manageable landscaped gardens require minimal maintenance and the house itself is well insulated and designed to incur low running costs.

• The house enjoys an elevated position and the living space is at first floor level in order to take full advantage of the magnificent outlook across unspoilt countryside. Three of the four bedrooms and all main reception rooms enjoy outstanding views.
• The magnificent living/dining kitchen is of wonderful proportions, being approximately 25 ft x 24 ft.  It is a light and airy room with an oak floor and three deep windows, enjoying an elevated southerly aspect overlooking the stone built houses of Stonegrave and adjacent farmland, with distant views towards rising woodland.  The high spec kitchen is lavishly fitted with a range of cream fronted Shaker style fittings, America style fridge freezer, granite effect work surfaces, inset 1½ bowl ceramic sink with side drainer and mixer tap, stainless steel Range with 5 gas hobs, warming plate, grill and double oven, wine rack and plate rack, and oak island unit with wine cooler, wine rack, pull-out basket drawers, bookshelves and cupboards.
• The orangery with its oak flooring features a glazed apex, sash windows revealing distant views and double glazed doors opening to a decking area.
• There are attractive landscaped gardens to the side and rear of the garage, with further landscaping undertaken to the west side of the house.  Steps lead round to an area of decking overlooking a woodland backdrop, and on to further gardens.
• The architect and builder have taken great care to use green building measures, which have resulted in the property having low heating costs, predicted to be 75% less than a conventionally heated property.
