Outside are a number of detached and attached outbuildings which have been variously used as games rooms and workshops, while to the rear are some stables.
The main gardens lie to the rear: the front garden is terraced and slopes gently towards the small orchard, while the rear garden has a stone-flagged patio, a pond and a lawned area, as well as steps which lead to the rear paddock. Most of the land lies to the south and includes around nine acres of grassland, and a pretty stretch of woodland with a stream passing through.
The charming village of Egton is perched on a south-facing hillside just above Egton Bridge, which has a rail link to Whitby (six miles), which along with Scarborough is just a short drive away. York is 46 miles.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
The guide price is £750,000. For further information please contact Carter Jonas on 01904 558 200 or visit www.carterjonas.co.uk.
