Set within magnificent, mature landscaped grounds, this exceptional home offers the perfect balance of luxury, privacy and tranquillity, while remaining conveniently located just three miles from the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline and within easy commuting distance of Teesside, York and Leeds.

Designed for both elegant family living and entertaining, the property has been very well cared for by the present owners and offers beautifully proportioned accommodation extending across one level. A welcoming reception hall creates an immediate sense of space and leads through to a series of impressive reception rooms, each carefully positioned to maximise the stunning garden and countryside views.

At the heart of the home is the bespoke Poggenpohl German kitchen, beautifully appointed with quality cabinetry and generous preparation space, complemented by a spacious walk-in pantry cupboard and further separate utility room. The elegant central drawing room provides a refined formal living space, while the substantial principal lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light and exceptional garden views. A dedicated home office overlooks the rolling countryside towards Skelton, creating an inspiring workspace, while an additional study adjacent to the bedroom accommodation offers further flexibility for those working from home. A versatile gymnasium or hobbies room completes the extensive living accommodation.

Three further generously proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted storage, are served by a spacious family bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and bath, providing excellent accommodation for family and guests alike.

The grounds are undoubtedly one of Far Shirby's defining features. Approached via a sweeping block-paved private driveway leading to a detached double garage, the property sits within beautifully established gardens that have been lovingly cultivated over many years. The landscaped grounds include an ornamental stocked pond with cascading waterfall, a tranquil Japanese-inspired garden with feature statues, several sectioned garden area's including an well stocked orchard and productive kitchen garden, there are beautiful mature specimen trees, an abundance of colourful planting and several private seating terraces positioned to enjoy the changing aspects throughout the day.
