About this property

  • White House is an attractive stone built village house with later additions by the renowned architect Frances F Johnson. This wonderful Grade II listed house is set back from the road on a generous plot of around half an acre, situated in the quintessential North Yorkshire village of Husthwaite.

    Of particular note are the delightful vistas across the beautifully designed gardens to the south and the White Horse to the north. Upon entering the property it is evident this much loved home was fitted with quality fixtures, with all of the period features you would expect from a property of its era. The house flows well and has a series of well proportioned rooms allowing plenty of scope for the buyer to create a marvelous family home.

    The downstairs accommodation provides three reception rooms, a traditional kitchen with built in units and an Aga, separate utility, WC and inviting reception hall.

    To the first floor the principal bedroom suite sits in its own wing, featuring a generous bathroom with separate bath and shower and a dressing area.

    The further four bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors with a house bathroom and bedroom two benefitting from having an en suite. All offer views over the gardens and to the countryside beyond.

    Externally the gardens have been meticulously designed and planted, featuring a central lawned area, ornate clipped yew hedges and colourful planted beds and borders. The addition of the glass summer house creates the perfect place to sit and enjoy the garden.

    There is plenty for parking to the front on the gravelled drive and a double garage with electric doors.
