Spacious, period property in friendly village

School House is the perfect base for a lovely holiday or rest in beautiful North Yorkshire. Complete with an enclosed garden, it is spacious, peaceful and calming. Lovingly restored during lockdown, it is a happy place to be. Within easy walking distance is an excellent coffee shop and an equally excellent pub. There is countryside all around, perfect for cycling and walking, and, for trips further afield, there is easy access to the A19 and A172. Good WiFi. @schoolhouse1909 The space Built in 1909 for the village school master to live in, School House is an Edwardian property from the Arts and Crafts period. The house was completely refurbished during lockdown so as to suit modern needs whilst also retaining most of its original fittings. The whole house has a light and airy feel. Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two have king size beds and bedroom three has two full size single beds which can, on request, be made into a super-king size bed. Each bedroom has cupboard space, hangers, a chest of drawers, full length mirror and hair dryer; clean bedding, bed liners, throws and towels are provided with every changeover. The bathroom has both a bath and an electric shower and there is an electric towel rail and shaving point. Soap, bubble bath etc is provided and is all suitable for sensitive skin. Downstairs there is a comfortable sitting room with an open fire, a dining room/day room and a spacious, well equipped, modern kitchen. There are smart TVs in the sitting and dining rooms (40” & 32”), a DVD player, several USB ports and a bluetooth digital radio. Free wifi is available throughout the house. In the porch is a boiler room and downstairs toilet. The boiler room contains a washing machine and clothes airer and has enough space to securely store 3-4 bicycles. Bicycles could also be securely stored in the porch itself. There is an outside tap near the porch door along with two outside electric sockets. The whole house is fully double glazed and centrally heated. Outside there is a fair sized, fully enclosed garden complete with table, chairs and BBQ. The garden has only recently been redesigned and replanted but already is a great place just to sit. In the summer months, the swifts are great to watch racing about in the sky! Guest access Travelling to School House by car is very straightforward as Ingleby Arncliffe is easily reached from the A19 and, once there, School House has ample on and off-road parking. If travelling by train, the East Coast Main Line from Kings Cross to Edinburgh stops at Northallerton, a 15-20 taxi ride away. The Coast to Coast walk goes through the village and there are many footpaths and good walks close at hand. Bike hire is available from the neighbouring village of Swainby - they will even deliver the bikes - and there is a fairly regular bus service from the village to both Stokesley and Northallerton which could be made use of when planning walks. Generally the roads in the area are not that busy. Other things to note There is a 50kw EV charging point just outside the village at The Cleveland Tontine. An excellent play ground complete with zip wire and picnic tables is a 5 minutes walk from the house. Fish & Chip van stops in village Wednesday evening. The following are available on request - high chair, travel cot, safety covers for sockets, stepping stools for the basins and two stair gates. Please message me if you have questions regarding this.
