Property description
A comfortable semi-detached home with three bedrooms, situated on the outskirts of the historic town of Boroughbridge, in an ideal spot for commuters to Leeds, York, Harrogate and The North, and schools and shopping nearby.
Stump Cross is in a quiet backwater of green avenues to the south side of the ancient town of Boroughbridge, within sight of open countryside but still superbly positioned for access to shopping, schools and the A1.
This family-sized home has been beautifully renovated in recent years, but still retains a lot of character, such as the arched kitchen fireplace now housing a range oven, and the elegant wrought-iron fireplace in the main bedroom.
The dining kitchen is the real centre point of this home, a light room with plenty of space for entertaining, or preparing and eating family meals. A u-shaped kitchen design offers a good deal of storage and room for all the appliances that a modern household requires, and a large window provides lot of natural light and a pleasant view over the rear decking and garden. To the front of the house is a modern sitting room with plush carpeting and a bay window looking out to the front garden. The comfortable carpeting continues up the stairs to the bedrooms, two spacious doubles and one smaller room, adequate as a nursery or child's room. A modern bathroom with a white suite and elegant tiling completes the accommodation.
Outside, there is a driveway with parking for several vehicles, running down to a detached garage at the rear of the property. The rear garden is west facing, and catches the afternoon sun on the lawn and the raised area of decking. The front garden is gravelled to allow for even more parking, with nice flowering borders separating the garden from the pavement outside.
2 Stump Cross is a charming home in an extremely convenient location that offers the best of both town and country living with easy access to major towns and cities.
