A wide staircase rises to the drawing room and then ascends again to the first floor galleried landing. The principal bedroom suite has a lofty ceiling with exposed roof trusses and an outlook across to the Yorkshire Wolds. The en suite bathroom has a skylight, underfloor heating, and includes a large walk-in shower. Connecting to the bedroom is a large double aspect room with its own staircase, currently used as a study but also suitable as a dressing room or occasional bedroom. There are three further bedrooms, one on the southern wing with a neighbouring bathroom that doubles up as the house bathroom. This attractive and spacious bedroom has vertical and horizontal beams and a fine south facing outlook.
Outside - The 500-metre long tarmacadamed drive from the B1257 approaches The Granary House through first one arch, link-detached to the house on the southern elevation, and then another on the northern elevation. The second arch is integral to the house and doubles up as a car port behind a five-bar gate. The drive continues through to a large turning and parking area of gravel that leads to the garage and gated paddock. The double length garage is constructed of stone and pantile with strong metal doors. Alongside is an arbour adorned with clematis and with a decked seating area.
Close to the house lies the kitchen garden. This comprises productive apple trees, soft fruit (raspberries, blackcurrants, white currants, gooseberries and rhubarb) along with vegetable beds covered and prepped, protected by a clipped box hedge. Here is a timber woodshed with log store and a greenhouse with water butts and a paved seating area alongside herbaceous borders. There is an outside tap near the back door.
The gardens are diverse and undulating, the sweeping lawns punctuated with multiple varieties of trees, shrubs, and snaking pathways with oak trees lining the northern boundary. Small trees and shrubs underplanted with bulbs form a verdant bank that acts as a visual screen and natural divider between the lower and upper sections of the garden. Steps ascend to the upper lawn where there are magnificent views across to the North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds. At the far end is a copse with a fernery accompanied by hellebores. The small paddock is largely enclosed by post and rail fencing trained with blackberries.

The Granary House is part of a hamlet that is connected to Oswaldkirk parish and with a strong connection to Helmsley, a ten-minute drive away. The market town of Helmsley straddles the Howardian Hills and the North York Moors providing essential amenities as well as delicatessens, boutiques, a department store, cafés, restaurants and a thriving arts centre. Alongside its bustling market square are cobbled streets, a medieval castle, an historic five-acre walled garden and the green open parklands of Duncombe Park Estate beyond. The nearby towns of Thirsk and Malton both have railway stations, the former providing a direct service to London Kings Cross. The location of The Granary House is rural but accessible with good access to the city of York, the coast and the A19 connecting to the A1(M) and national motorway network.
