"On the north westerly fringe of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park lies Hallgarth, an immaculately renovated mid century house. Sweeping volumes are balanced with cosy spaces and are populated with hand crafted joinery and swathes of glazings. The house has four bedrooms, an expansive flowing living area and a double garage. Well stocked gardens, replete with dining terraces, a sauna and a bespoke plunge pool, bookend the house in the front and rear.

The Tour

Banks of evergreen and broad leafed trees guide towards the house s private driveway, which has parking for several cars. The house s frontage nods to American modernist styles with its geometric silhouettes and sweeping rooflines. Its profile is formed of pinky brown brick elevations and is accented by oversized blackened aluminium openings.

The entrance porch connects an en bloc double garage to the main body of the house. It opens into a beautiful hallway that gives access to the living spaces on the ground and first floor. A well curated material palette established here continues across the plan; highlights include sapele clad walls, flush plywood doors and internal glazed screens.

To the right of the hall is the sitting room, a generous and welcoming space with exquisite ochre hued panelling. A wide chimney, clad in Danish Petersen Tegl bricks, provides a focal point. The room is triple aspect, with wide picture windows on two sides and a glazed screen to the hall.

Just beyond is the kitchen, which has a sophisticated finish. Generous arrays of bespoke cabinetry crafted by local firm Scawtons sit neatly below white veined marble worktops. A central island divides the kitchen from the dining area, where banquette seating has been fitted. With triple concertina doors to the garden, the space maintains a strong visual connection with the outside. Discretely tucked behind the kitchen is a handy utility room. A playroom study and a WC complete the ground floor plan.

The first floor is reached by via a sculptural open tread staircase. An additional living space lies upstairs, with lofty inclined ceilings that fall to a sitting area backed by open fronted storage and bookending glazed screens. These capture the far reaching rural views outside and beckon in plenty of natural light.

Four bedrooms and a family bathroom radiate from the landing. The primary bedroom has plenty of built in storage, as well as an en suite shower room with playful kit kat tiling and colourful terrazzo tiled floor. The view from here is expansive, stretching towards Broughton Bridge Beck in the distance.

The remaining bedrooms are also generously sized, with large panes looking out beyond tree canopies towards the undulating rural landscape beyond.

Outdoor Space

The house sits amid well maintained gardens, with carefully considered planting, specimen trees, sun and dining terraces and a centrally placed lawned area, perfect for kicking a ball or playing badminton. There is a strong sense of privacy, enhanced by the timber fencing around its perimeter.

A hand built sauna and stainless steel plunge pool sit within with the expansive timber deck at the rear of the house. There is also a double garage and a driveway with room for overspill parking.
