4 bed detached house for sale

Laundry Lane, Swinton Grange, Malton YO17

A spacious, Edwardian detached house occupying a lovely plot of over one third of an acre with open views and offering four double bedroom accommodation within a picturesque setting within two miles of Malton.

Larch House is a spacious detached house set within a good-sized plot of a little over one third of an acre with ample parking and superb, open views. The property dates from 1909, originally forming part of the Swinton Grange Estate, and offers a deceptively spacious and versatile range of accommodation, which is arranged across two floors. The house has been well maintained, although it would now benefit from some cosmetic updating and the property offers considerable potential.

Its accommodation amounts to a little over 2,270sq.ft and comprises entrance hall, sitting room, study, drawing room, dining kitchen, boot room and a ground floor shower room. On the first floor there is a house bathroom and four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each one retaining their original Edwardian fireplaces and wardrobes; a large and untapped attic space offers clear potential to convert, if required (subject to securing any necessary consents).

Externally there are good-sized gardens, which enjoy a good level of privacy and sit mostly on the western side of the house. The front of the property faces due south and affords terrific views across open farmland. There is a useful workshop and extensive gravelled hardstanding on the eastern side of the house, accessed via a right of way across the neighbouring property.

Enjoying a peaceful, rural setting with far-reaching views across open countryside, Swinton Grange lies within the Howardian Hills National Landscape and is perfectly placed for the best of both worlds, lying within a five-minute drive of the excellent range of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities in Malton. The main village of Swinton is around half a mile north and benefits from a pub and sports centre.

Nearby Malton is a thriving and highly regarded market town, with an excellent range of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities, together with a vibrant food scene that has earned it the title of Yorkshire’s Food Capital. The town offers a superb blend of character and convenience, with good schools, regular markets and a welcoming atmosphere, whilst also benefiting from rail links to York and onward connections to Leeds and London.
