Enjoying a pleasant location in the heart of this picturesque moorland village, 'Meldreth House' is a lovely old four storey stone house of character which dates from the 1860s and has, over the years, been significantly improved, but nevertheless possesses a plethora of period features and possesses considerable character and charm. Requiring an internal inspection to be appreciated, 'Meldreth House' offers versatile accommodation which is arranged over four floors, all those windows to the rear of the house enjoying the most breathtaking panoramic views. Castleton is within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, set amidst some of the most beautiful countryside in the north of england. The village itself benefits from a general store and the historic market town of Guisborough is within comfortable driving distance and offers an excellent range of shopping facilities and amenities. Castleton does benefit from a railway station which gives links to Middlesbrough and beyond and for the keen walker the North Yorkshire Moors National Park offers endless beautiful walks, both moorland, dales and coastal. Externally 'Meldreth House' benefits from a lovely enclosed rear garden which again enjoys stunning views and a particular feature is the large stone storage barn which offers scope, subject to the necessary planning consent, for conversion into a 'granny flat' or 'teenagers annex'. In addition there is an excellent four car garage, a feature rarely found on Castleton high street and therefore combining with the house, barn and garden to make 'Meldreth House' an INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE PROPERTY WHICH WE HIGHLY COMMEND.
