A delightful period house featuring a stunning garden and outbuildings, set within the heart of sought after Howardian Hills village
Elm House is a delightful traditional stone-built village house, occupying a truly exceptional setting in the picturesque village of Coxwold. Complemented by an excellent range of outbuildings and set within almost an acre of beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, the property offers a rare combination of charm, privacy and versatility.
Positioned alongside the historic 15th-century St Michael and All Angels Church, the setting is simply stunning, enjoying a remarkable sense of peace and seclusion while remaining at the heart of this sought-after village.
The accommodation is both spacious and welcoming. A charming dual-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light, featuring French doors opening onto the gardens and a log-burning stove creating a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months. The formal dining room provides an elegant space for entertaining, while the split-level open-plan kitchen and dining room offers an ideal setting for everyday family life. The kitchen is fitted with an Aga range cooker, a range of bespoke cabinetry, a central island and generous space for additional appliances, with attractive views towards the village and the renowned Fauconberg Arms. A dedicated home office and guest cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom enjoying delightful dual-aspect views across the gardens. The remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom and a separate shower room.
A comprehensive range of traditional outbuildings provides excellent storage and workshop space, while also offering considerable potential for alternative uses or conversion, subject to the necessary consents. A detached double garage and private driveway provide ample parking for several vehicles.
The beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds are undoubtedly one of Elm House's defining features in particular a mature kiftsgate rose. Immaculate lawns are complemented by a paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, while an abundance of mature trees, climbing plants and established shrubs creates a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. Beyond, open countryside enhances the sense of space and rural tranquillity, completing this exceptional village home.

What I particularly love about Elm House is its remarkable setting beside the historic church and the sense of peace that comes with it. The beautifully mature gardens are a real highlight, creating a wonderfully private sanctuary, while the range of outbuildings offers exciting potential for a variety of future uses
