Lilling Wood House, West Lilling, York YO60 6RP

Lilling Wood House was built about 20 years ago to a high specification. It stands facing open country at the edge of a small courtyard development, and the owners have added to their holding by buying adjacent land, fencing it into paddocks, and installing stables, barn, and manege. All around is farmland and woodland; indeed the house lives up to its name in every detail.

• Cavity wall insulation and sealed unit double glazing = Band D efficiency
• Four reception rooms for wonderful entertaining spaces
• Quiet rural edge-of-village location
• Local shops and Monks Cross (John Lewis) in easy reach

Outside
A gravelled drive leads to wrought iron gates in a low brick wall and these open onto a broad parking and turning area by the detached double garage, with a broad sweep of lawn to one side. An archway in a tall beech hedge leads to the immaculately tended side and rear gardens: manicured lawns bounded by mixed hedges, a flagged terrace under a pergola, mellow brick walls, raised beds and a pond with yellow flag irises and Koi carp, with a decorative stone flagged surround.

There is a garden shed and greenhouse and a gate gives onto the yard with a range by Goodrick including five boxes and tackroom/feedstore. The barn (approx 30’ x 60’) is by The Stable Company and there is an all-weather arena 130’ x 65’. The land is divided into 4 interconnecting railed paddocks with a water supply and there is separate private access from the adopted road
