Views, views and more views - that’s what the owners of this week’s Dream Home loved first about their property.
In fact, the five-bedroom detached home in the village of Kirklevington near Yarm was built to make the most of its aspect, looking out to a wide panorama that takes in the sweeping Cleveland Hills.
What’s more, the inside is just as stunning as the outside - with contemporary rooms, light filled spaces and the perfect spot for relaxation in the shape of a galleried area created off the master bedroom where the views are wide open and simply stunning.

View gallery “We bought it in the mid 90s,” explains the owner. “We lived in Kirklevington at the time and became aware of this piece of land.
“We built the property in 1996 and it was built to our specifications.
“It is on the edge of the village and faces south with fabulous views over the hills. We wanted the lay-out to take advantage of the views, it has a fabulous panorama.”
With small children at the time, she says, they also wanted to create a big kitchen diner to give the home a real family space - and this room has proved to be a real hub of the St Martins Way house ever since.
Cool, white contemporary units give the space a modern look. There are fitted units, a central island and built-in appliances ensuring everything any cook needs is right at his or her fingertips. The space leads on into a dining area with French doors out to the garden and stunning views over the hills.
“It is a fantastic party house and a great space for big get-togethers,” adds the owner.
So what else is inside?
The entrance hall leads to all of the ground floor rooms. The 25ft sitting room has views out to open countryside and boasts three sets of French doors leading out to the gardens at the side and back of the house. There’s an ornate gas fire on a marble hearth too.
Another sitting room follows, with another French door, there’s an office, a cloakroom and then it is on to the stunning fitted kitchen.
There are five bedrooms on the first floor including the master with its wow factor galleried area, a full wall of wardrobes, dressing room and en suite. The family bathroom is on this floor too with its free standing bath and double sized walk in shower cubicle.
Stairs lead up to the next floor where there’s a studio room and a music room.
Outside, cast iron gates flank the driveway and there’s a double garage. The outside space makes the most of the stunning views, lawns surround the house and there’s ornamental trellis in the side garden and shrubbery.
Kirklevington is a lovely village, says the owner.
Yarm is close by with everything the town has to offer and so is the A19 with its commuting links.
“Our children are all grown up now. The house needs a family, it was built for a family,” adds the owner, of the decision to put it on to the market.
The St Martins Way home is on the market for £649,950. For more information, contact the Stokesley office of estate agent Your Move Scott-Collier Taylor on 01642 711570.
