The Old Brewery, Helperby

Guide Price £1,750,000

Georgian village house with glorious gardens, detached cottage and traditional barn

The Old Brewery is a particularly fine Georgian house with glorious gardens, a cottage, lovely old barn and tennis court. The house has been meticulously renovated with due deference to the character of the original and more recently it has been updated with the creation of a superb kitchen/dining/family room with French doors opening south west onto the garden. This is surely one of the finest village properties on the North Yorkshire market.

This fine old Georgian house retains some ornate plasterwork, numerous 16-pane sash windows with their original shutters, period fireplaces, panelled doors and high ceilings. At the heart of the house is a fine cantilevered staircase, wide with shallow treads, and a magnificent, arched Georgian window on the half landing.

The current owners have created a large, triple aspect, family kitchen/breakfast/living room with engineered oak flooring, traditional sash windows and French doors that open south west onto the terrace with the garden extending beyond. The bespoke ‘Aberford Interiors’ handmade kitchen has a breakfast bar, integrated appliances, a Quooker tap, column radiators, ample room for a family-sized dining table and a sitting area. In addition, at the front of the house there is a formal dining room and a drawing room, both beautifully proportioned, and a separate snug behind.  Extensive cellars provide significant storage options, and useful utility rooms are grouped at the rear of the house. The first floor has good ceiling heights and there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms all with contemporary fixtures and fittings. The principal bedroom suite has wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes.
