## Description

Exceptional village house set in around 1.5 acres of grounds within a sought-after village midway between York and Harrogate.

**Description**

Laburnum Cottage is an exceptional house in a well-regarded village situated between York and Harrogate.

The house has been extended and beautifully designed in recent years, resulting in a wonderful family home with extensive reception rooms and 6 bedrooms. The open kitchen living room is an ideal space and opens onto the orangery with doors leading to a paved terrace, arranged for modern family life and entertaining.

The house is set in about 1.5 acres of attractive grounds including well stocked borders and a pony paddock, (not fenced) to the side, with a tack room and stable.

In addition there is also a tennis court and in the south-west corner of the garden a fenced play area which has the potential to be a kitchen garden if desired.

The garden boasts plum, pear and apple trees as well as a couple of beautiful blossom trees.

The double garage has an adjacent gym with a room above that may convert to a number of uses, dependant on the usual consents.
