The Gardens: one of the major benefits of this property is the very private beautifully manicured enclosed lawned garden with stepped patio down leading to the bi-fold doors off the kitchen. Fully walled, this is a very private place. There is a gravelled driveway which leads to parking for numerous vehicles.
Outside - Gravel driveway, parking for several vehicles, enclosed mature garden, separate annex.
Situation And Amenities - Rainton is a picturesque village, and its location allows for swift access onto the A1 and A19. The village has a great pub and recreational facilities. The nearby towns of Ripon, Thirsk and Boroughbridge offer a huge amount of day-to-day shops and facilities. There are excellent primary and secondary schools both state and independent close by. The train station at Thirsk has a direct service to London which takes under 2 hours 30 minutes.
The Appeal Of Our Home - The Owners Insight - There’s a charm and magic to this Georgian farmhouse. I would often drive past and admire how beautiful it looked, like something from a ‘chocolate box’. It’s wrapped in the most enchanting garden that blooms through the seasons. Our favourite spot is the patio sun trap, as the kitchen spills out of the double doors into a sunken corner, you are completely sheltered under a stunning, trailing wisteria that wraps around the house. Inside, we absolutely adore the character that is in every room, with its original features, but have opened up the original space, to create a flow that just works perfectly for family life. It truly is a lovely blend of old and new. The kitchen is flooded with light and links to a cosy dining area with a log burner, while the boot room was designed to make life with 3 kids and dogs a little less chaotic. It’s a huge and characterful space with original beams from the milking parlour it once was. This takes you down into the blue room. Our family space, perfect for movie night and where the kids will often have their sleepovers.
The village is fantastic, with the Crab & Lobster on the doorstep, a 5 min drive into Ripon or Thirsk for restaurants, shops and a direct train to London, as well as instant access to the motorway makes the commute simple. Opposite the house is a quaint, lowkey village pub, where the cricket team will gather in the summer. Often we’ve managed to grab a famous takeaway pie and a bottle of wine when wanting a break from cooking.
Outside, the converted garage is hugely versatile and while we use it as an office, it could take on many roles, complete with WC and plumbing for a shower. When the sun goes down, you’ll find us sitting at the back of the garden where we’ve created a French inspired gravel seating area with BBQ to soak up the last of the rays.
