FAMILY homes in a sought after location can be hard to come by, but if you’re looking to make the move to a more rural location either with a family or with the view of starting a family in mind, then this could make the perfect home.

The stone-built, detached four bedroom home, on the market at £385,000 with Cundalls, is in a much sought after area on the edge of Malton.

One of the beauties of this property is that it has the benefit of being in a rural location of a much-loved market town but is within easy access to major cities.

It is approximately 18 miles from York, 25 to Scarborough and 35 to Leeds, putting it in a prime location for commuting. Malton train station also provides regular services to York and the East Coast.

Looking out on to the leafy residential Castle Howard Road, this attractive stone property has a small but carefully landscaped front garden with ample parking and a double garage towards the back of the house.

Walking through the porch and in to the entrance hall, there’s a small toilet and washroom before heading in to the sitting room where the gas fireplace welcomes you, ensuring the lounge will be cosy this winter.

When summer comes around again, though, the French windows of the sitting room open out on to the spacious conservatory which has a ceramic tiled floor and looks out on to the private garden.

A single door leads on to a large patio area, big enough to house garden furniture and decorations, and of course, a barbecue in the summer.

The lawned garden is stocked with shrub borders and paving leads the way under trellises to the back of the garden where various trees including silver birch and rowan are.

For the budding gardener or those who want to try their hand at growing their own fruit and vegetables, there is also a greenhouse behind the double garage.

Make your way back through the lounge and you’ll find a study before heading in to the combined kitchen and dining room.

A range of floor and wall units make up this room as does an electric oven. Ceiling spotlights make the kitchen seem even bigger than it already is and sliding patio doors are perfect for when you’re hosting a summer party.

Branching off from the kitchen is a utility room, perfect for creating extra space and keeping your washing machine, dryer or even an extra fridge in there.

The first bedroom is also found on the ground floor which has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite double shower room.

The remaining three bedrooms in this spacious property can be found upstairs.

All bedrooms are of a good size and there is a house bathroom upstairs as well with a bath and shower overhead.

Viewing this property can be arranged by appointment only through the agent’s office in Malton.
