Location: Sandmartin Lane, Norton
Bedrooms: Built as a five-bedroom home but one bedroom is now a second bathroom
Reception rooms: Two - a formal drawing room and a family room, plus a study
Bathrooms: Two plus a cloakroom downstairs
Gardens and outside space: A wide front garden, mainly lawned, in front of a coachman’s driveway. At the rear of the property there is a large garden divided into numerous social spaces with lots of mature trees, a pergola, summerhouse and herbaceous borders. There is a walkway through an arch halfway down the garden leading to an area of raised beds, greenhouse, lawn areas and fruit trees.
Which room has the biggest wow factor?: “Our favourite room has got to be the large orangery with folding doors to the kitchen. It’s a great social space for entertaining and can be used all the year round as it has underfloor heating,” explains the owner.“A great feature of this property is the rear garden so having the orangery means we can appreciate it even when the weather is poor outside.”
What’s the best thing about the home’s location?: “Sandmartin Lane is a quiet cul-de-sac and the position of our house is so private. We are not overlooked and even in winter much of the estate is hidden by mature trees. We have the best of both worlds as we are only minutes away from Norton Green and local amenities.”
Driveway/garage?: Coachman’s driveway at the front, garage with electric door attached to the house on one side. On the other side there is a gated drive that would easily accommodate a camper van, caravan or trailer.
Closest schools: Crooksbarn estate has a primary school, Red House public school is currently situated on Norton Green.
Changes/renovations and extensions?: “Apart from re-decorating and landscaping the garden the main project has been adding the orangery and designing a kitchen to suit us,” says the owner. “A brilliant carpenter from North Yorkshire was able to turn our ideas into reality. In any house people always seem to gravitate to the kitchen but here we can easily accommodate everyone as we spill into the orangery, making it one large social space.”
