Applegarth is a gorgeous detached 1930's family home which has been beautifully extended and refurbished by the current owners. Set in a lovely peaceful location with far reaching views it provides superb family
accommodation with 4 bedrooms and 3 free flowing reception rooms. Set in a plot of over ¼ of an acre it has gorgeous gardens, a garage with workshop and driveway parking for several cars. The first view of Applegarth reveals a very pretty, rendered property with a gabled front, arched storm porch and diamond windowed front door, all classic features of homes of this period. Stepping into the Mandarin stone tiled hallway to the left there is a practical downstairs cloak room and the right understairs storage for coats and shoes.
The hallway leads through to the spectacular extended open plan kitchen/breakfast/living room. Filled with light, thanks to Velux windows and bifold doors opening to the garden this is a lovely family space that has far reaching views to the surrounding countryside and hills beyond. The kitchen area is fitted with a good range of custom-built low-level navy units with contrasting quartz worktops in white. It has an integrated dishwasher, space for a fridge freezer and a fabulous central island with breakfast bar seating.
The living area is adjacent to the bifolds which open to reveal a superb dining terrace and seamlessly blend the inside with the garden outside. It also has a dual fuel log burner which creates a lovely cosy ambience for winter evenings. To the right the dining area has space for a large table and has double doors to a very attractive sun room – the perfect spot in which to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting and a morning cup of coffee.
Returning to the hallway to the left is the formal sitting room with charming bay window overlooking the garden and attractive sandstone fireplace with log burner.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is a practical utility/boot room which has space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer and a separate shoe/coat room which is ideal for wet weather gear having its own independent access.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms – one of which is currently arranged as an office. The other three bedrooms all face the gardens with windows that capitalise on the magnificent views and bedroom two has double doors to a gorgeous balcony. There are two bathrooms on this floor one with separate shower and cloakroom and the other – the family bathroom has both a bath and separate shower.
Garden
Applegarth sits fairly centrally in its fully enclosed gardens of just over ¼ acre. Mostly laid with lawn there are mature shrubs and beautiful specimen trees including silver birch. A vegetable patch with greenhouse is tucked away behind an area with fruit trees including pears and plums. The dining terrace next to the house is paved and provides the ideal setting from which to enjoy al fresco dining and the magnificent views to Crook Peak. A large garage has an electric up and over door and space for a workshop area. In addition, there is ample space for driveway parking.
