An impressive Georgian house situated in the popular village of Green
Hammerton, particularly well placed for access to York and Harrogate
Description
A superb Georgian village house with later Victorian additions, Watt House is
situated in the popular village of Green Hammerton, extremely well placed for
access to both York and Harrogate.
Set back from the road beside the village green, this attractive property
offers an extremely spacious and well planned accommodation. The current
vendors have made a number of improvements to the property during their
ownership to make the most of the space and create a beautiful family home
that works well for modern living, whilst still incorporating the property's
many period features.
A large open - plan kitchen - sitting room has been created with dual aspect
windows looking over the village green and across the garden to the rear. The
kitchen has plenty of built in units under granite worktops, an oil fired Aga
and central island unit. The adjoining family room features a multi - fuel stove
and large bay window with views over the village green. A door from the
kitchen leads to the boot room and WC.
Continuing through the ground floor there is a nicely proportioned dining room
with a gas real flame effect fire and built in shelves on one side. There is
also a good - sized sitting room with a log burning stove, underfloor heating
and French doors to garden. Behind this is a fifth bedroom, complete with en
suite bathroom, utility room and direct access to the garden. This area has
potential to be made into a self - contained annex if desired.
The first floor has four double bedrooms and a study, served by two house
bathrooms. The principal bedroom is of particularly generous proportions and
benefits from a walk - in dressing room. A pull down staircase gives direct
access to the loft space with Velux window, currently used as a home office.
To the rear of the property there is a beautiful private garden with central
lawn and planted borders, flanked by mature trees and hedges and bordered by a
high brick wall on three sides. Close to the house is a patio area ideal for
alfresco dining and to one side is a productive vegetable garden. On the
opposite side there is a brick built garage with electric car charging point
and cobbled driveway, providing parking for up to three cars.
