A turning staircase with oak balustrade and handrail rises to a generous landing. The principal bedroom is a superb, light-filled dual-aspect room with doors opening onto a balcony, offering breath-taking views across Hob Moor and the Knavesmire. Bedroom two is another large double room, also dual aspect, with its own balcony. Bedroom three enjoys a south-facing balcony and open views, while a further double bedroom overlooks the garden and benefits from built-in storage. The bedrooms are served by two bathrooms and a separate WC, with additional storage cupboards on the landing. A secondary staircase leads to two attic rooms, which could be converted into further bedrooms or ancillary accommodation, subject to the appropriate consents.
The gardens are a particular feature of Stonygarth, wrapping generously around the house. The property was thoughtfully positioned at an oblique angle to maximise the south-west aspect, views and sunlight. A patio and terrace run alongside the house, overlooking level lawns bordered by a variety of mature shrubs and established trees that create a wonderfully private and verdant setting. A pathway leads to a timber summerhouse and greenhouse beyond. The gardens are secure and enclosed, with gated access to the garage and a paved driveway providing generous parking for several vehicles.
