A superb, Seventeenth Century four/five bedroom village house with spacious, self-contained annexe, set in extensive gardens & grounds of almost one acre within a scenic conservation village, just 1 mile from the coast. The Grange is a fine, 17th Century village house standing in landscaped gardens and grounds approaching one acre. The house dates from 1684 as noted on the plaque set into the front of the house along with the initials W.F. which relate to William Foster a former owner. Its 24" walls are constructed of local sandstone, and the second floor added in 1891 is of brick. In more recent years the house has seen a significant renovation and offers a practical layout with generously proportioned rooms and an overall floor area in excess of 2,400ft2. Much of the character has been retained and has been further enhanced by the addition of an oak-framed garden room at the rear, which takes full advantage of the gardens and grounds. In brief, the accommodation comprises: entrance hall, 24ft drawing room, garden room, dining room, farmhouse kitchen with AGA, fifth bedroom/office, utility room and ground floor shower room, whilst upstairs there are four double bedrooms and a house bathroom. Central heating is gas-fired, and windows are double-glazed and mostly Yorkshire sliding sashes. Within the last few years, a range of former outbuildings have been converted to provide an unusually spacious one-bedroom annexe of some 850sq.ft. The accommodaton is arranged over a single floor, the heart of which is a huge, open-plan kitchen/living space, backed up by a guest cloakroom, laundry room and bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite shower room. The gardens at The Grange are a particular feature, providing year-round colour and interest. They extend to approximately 0.9 acres and have been divided into a series of formal and informal areas. They feature lawn, well-stocked borders stocked with a variety of flowering shrubs and perennials and a number of mature trees. There is ample parking on the gravelled drive, and the annexe has its own private garden area. Gristhorpe is a conveniently placed village located only 2 miles from the nearby coastal town of Filey. The Main Street is a no-through road and designated Conservation Area, presenting a very attractive street scene. Good local facilities can be found in both Filey and Scarborough, which is some 6 miles north. The A64 is within easy reach for commuting further afield. For anyone keen on walking, there are several footpaths and bridleways that pass through the village.
