Semi-detached house for sale in Tadcaster LS24, 5 Bedroom

Believed to originally be a farmhouse dating back to the 1690’s is Castle Hill House which boasts a wonderful mix of contemporary and character features, set within extensive grounds of approximately 1.5 acres containing a site of the Roman fort and the 14th century medieval Tadcaster Castle. This charming home yields over 2,400 sqft of beautiful yet practical family living space located in the most convenient location of Tadcaster High Street with the added benefit of open countryside showcasing the rural setting.

This spacious and versatile home with Yorkshire sash sliding windows throughout, is approached via a gated gravelled driveway with a raised grassed area featuring a wooden swing and flower bed border, and also a laid to lawn front garden.

Entering the light and bright kitchen, here you will find a flattering mix of solid oak and black granite worktops with shaker style units providing ample storage and dual aspect windows. There is also a breakfast bar and a stable door leading to the separate laundry room with further storage and access to the fabulous patio area. Through the arch of the kitchen, is the spacious and tastefully decorated dining room with large bay window, wood burner with the original brick surround and solid oak wood flooring which flows throughout the home. Further on, there is a stunning and cosy reception room with the original wooden beam and cast iron multi-fuel burning stove with white brick surround creating a fabulous atmosphere. The large arch window found in this room, has replaced what was once the entrance to the large three storey home which was then divided into two ownerships in 1956 therefore creating 30A Westgate. A large downstairs restroom can also be accessed from the lounge which has separate loft access, perfect for extra storage.

The staircase, with feature oak and ornate iron balustrade, leads to the first floor which houses two double bedrooms with dual aspect windows, bedroom three which is currently used as a study showcasing fabulous views of the viaduct, and the house bathroom with a modern white suite and feature stand-alone roll top bath. There is also a beautiful tall stained glass window believed to be a part of the original house before the division.

To the second floor are two further large double bedrooms both with original wooden beams – one bedroom with two Velux windows and the other well–proportioned bedroom with an en-suite shower room and large dual aspect windows showcasing lovely views over Tadcaster.

Externally, there is ample parking on the driveway which leads to a generously sized double garage where an ancient ice tunnel can be found to the rear and also stairs leading to the loft space providing potential to be converted to a fabulous holiday let, granny annexe or home office (subject to necessary planning). The wonderful patio area can also be found to the rear of the property which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and is a sun trap in the summertime. The patio also provides access to the cellar. Further on, there is a wrought iron gate leading to the 1.5 acres of scheduled ancient monumental grounds which is predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, flowering plants and shrubs.
