A HOME OF CHARACTER AND DISTINCTION An exceptional Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse, beautifully restored and complemented by traditional outbuildings AND mature gardens
Occupying an attractive position in the heart of Hotham, one of East Yorkshire’s most desirable villages, The Grange is a fine early 18th-century Georgian farmhouse where architectural heritage and contemporary comfort combine to create a distinctive family home. Behind its limestone elevations lies a beautifully refurbished interior, rich in original features yet thoughtfully adapted for modern living. Generous reception rooms, an impressive kitchen and well-proportioned bedrooms offer a pleasing balance of elegance and practicality. Landscaped gardens, sheltered terraces, a gated courtyard and a remarkable range of former farm buildings complete the picture.
KEY FEATURESGrade II listed Georgian farmhouse; approximately 3,013 sq ft of existing house accommodation; four principal bedrooms and a versatile ground-floor fifth bedroom/study; two reception rooms; spacious kitchen/dining room; three bathrooms/shower rooms; dressing room to the principal suite; second-floor loft storage; mature front and rear gardens within 0.66 acres; gated courtyard and parking for numerous cars; open garage; extensive historic barns, stabling and additional outbuildings; convenient village location; no onward chain.
PERIOD ELEGANCE, CONTEMPORARY COMFORTConstructed principally of limestone beneath a Welsh slate roof, the house retains evocative Georgian details including exposed beams, fireplaces, window shutters, recessed cupboards and quarry-tiled floors. The charming porch has decorative bargeboards, while an original closed-string staircase continues towards the loft. Several early internal doors retain wrought-iron fittings, possibly made by the resident blacksmith in the 18th century. A sympathetic programme of renovation has introduced stylish kitchen and bathroom fittings, updated lighting, traditional cast-iron column radiators and new first-floor carpeting.
THE LIVING ACCOMMODATIONThe principal reception rooms are wonderfully individual, with the former farmhouse architecture enhanced by the thoughtful incorporation of adjoining agricultural buildings. The sitting room measures approximately 25 ft in length and enjoys a south-facing garden outlook. A deep window seat and a striking full-height window bring the garden into the room. At one end is a substantial fireplace with a recessed wood-burning stove under an elliptical brick arch and oak lintel; at the other is an early 19th-century fireplace framed by fitted cupboards and shelving. The separate dining room provides an appealing setting for entertaining, featuring an exposed beam with unusual pyramid-shaped stops and an attractive fireplace.
THE HEART OF THE HOMEExtending to nearly 30 ft, the generous kitchen/dining room is a welcoming space for family life and informal entertaining. Bespoke cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, a central island, twin Butler sink and oil-fired Aga with electric companion module create a practical and characterful kitchen. Oak floors add warmth, while south-facing windows and doors open onto the sheltered courtyard. There is ample space for a substantial dining table. A walk-in pantry and utility room support the main kitchen; a separate laundry room, reached across the passageway, has additional fitted cupboards and houses the boiler.
A versatile ground-floor room, currently used as a home office, could be a guest bedroom, with a shower room alongside.
BEDROOM ACCOMMODATIONThe first-floor accommodation offers four double bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom has its own fitted dressing room and access to a bathroom shared in a Jack and Jill arrangement with bedroom two; the bathroom includes a bath, separate shower and vanity basin. Bedroom three retains a notable early 18th-century cast-iron hob grate fireplace and fitted wardrobes. From the landing, a secondary staircase rises to a useful second-floor loft providing additional storage.
GARDENS AND GROUNDSThe Grange occupies approximately 0.66 acres, with its principal south-facing elevation overlooking an attractive walled garden and mature lime tree. An extensive raised stone terrace extends along the house, creating a sheltered place for outdoor dining and relaxation. Electric gates lead to a broad gravel courtyard with secure parking for numerous vehicles and an open garage within the traditional buildings. The drive continues to a circular area recalling the footprint of a former horse walker. Beyond, extensive lawns stretch eastwards, dotted with trees and enclosed by substantial fencing, mature hedging and planting that provide privacy and seclusion.
HISTORIC OUTBUILDINGSThe substantial limestone and pantile farm buildings date principally from the later 18th and early 19th centuries. The attached barns and former stabling extend to approximately 1,300 sq ft, with an old stone mounting block nearby. A further detached brick and pantile building of approximately 704 sq ft stands on the southern garden boundary. Their scale and architectural character create considerable scope for a range of uses, subject to the relevant consents.
