The Appeal Of Our Home- The Owners' Insight - My experience of living in Lime Tree House was a picture-perfect, Yorkshire village life. The front of the house looks out onto The Green and is the epitome of rural English village life. At the rear the stunning secluded garden is a haven that leads to the fields beyond.
While having a feeling of seclusion Lime Tree House is also close to all the amenities: post-office, the local pub, a perfect latte (from the Post-Office), schools, etc and within 15 minutes you can be in the heart of the historic City of York with transport links to London.
I will always recall enjoying the garden in the summer for a BBQ. The garden is the perfect size, lovingly nurtured and now well established over the past 35 years with a stunning pond built by my mother full of fish and a raised sun-trap patio so you can view the garden, pond and house beyond.
There is an abundance of colour, structure, established borders and lawn on one side of the gravel drive and on the other are raised beds where you can grow your favourite vegetables and flowers. It is a truly tranquil oasis.
In colder weather, my memories of Christmases and family gatherings were around the open fires. The kitchen was the heart of the house with all the smells of Sunday roasts where special memories were created.
Now divided into two unique properties both Lime Tree House and The Limes have maintained this feeling of warmth, homeliness and seclusion.
Outside - The property has pedestrian access down a gravelled path and through a timber gate to the super rear garden. This is a stunning space. With vehicular access off Back Lane through timber gates, a gravelled driveway offers parking for a number of vehicles. The mature garden is a combination of sunken area with ornamental pond, kitchen garden, mature planting and delightful raised lawn. This area has clearly been loved by the previous owner and it is evident that considerable thought has gone into the design.
