4 bed detached house for sale

Eld Close, Ampleforth, York YO62

A privately situated stone-built village house, finished to a high standard & providing four double bedroom accommodation together with ample parking, attached garage & wraparound gardens within this much-loved village.

Ambrose House is a fabulous, Architect-designed village house, constructed to a high standard 8 years ago and tucked away in the heart of this sought-after village in an Area of Outstanding of Natural Beauty. The house has a traditionally styled exterior, taking inspiration from vernacular architecture, and is constructed of stone walls beneath a clay pantile roof, with cast iron gutters and downpipes. The interior is beautifully finished and enjoys an appealing layout which is flooded with natural light. The property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens which wrap around three sides of the house and enjoy views across open countryside to the south.

The house scores well on energy efficiency, attaining an impressive b-rated EPC. As one would expect from a 21st Century home, it is packed with insulation, includes double-glazing, and an efficient oil-fired central heating system, which is underfloor throughout the ground floor. In terms of it, there is CAT6 wiring all around the house with data points in virtually every room and full fibre broadband is available.

The accommodation includes a spacious entrance hall, a double aspect sitting room with wood burning stove and French doors opening onto the garden, a large kitchen/dining room with quality cabinets and integrated appliances, a rear lobby and guest cloakroom. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a house bathroom; the master bedroom is huge, enjoys lovely views and has an en-suite shower room.

Pretty gardens which wrap around three sides of the house; the area to the rear enjoys a good deal of privacy and south and westerly aspects. The gardens have been carefully landscaped by the current owners, featuring lawn, well-stocked shrub borders, a stone flagged patio and a variety of trees, including oak, silver birch, apple, pear and plum. A bespoke, accoya greenhouse has been constructed at the southern end of the plot which makes for an attractive focal point. A single garage and EV charger are attached to the side of the house, and there is ample space to park four cars on the gravelled driveway.

Ampleforth is one of North Yorkshire’s best-loved villages. Nestled into a hillside, it sits within particularly attractive countryside between the North York Moors National Park and the Howardian Hills National Landscape. The village features an attractive mix of period, stone houses and benefits from a surprising number of amenities including village shop and post office, two good pubs, a coffee shop, Doctor’s surgery, a primary school and Ampleforth College. The Georgian market town of Helmsley is only 4 miles away and benefits from a wide range of facilities. The other three Ryedale market towns are all within an easy drive and York is 19 miles south.
