Moray House represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a stunning detached family home situated in a private and discreet location enjoying breathtaking views to the rear. The original property was built in the 1920's and has been cleverly extended over the years to create a unique family home, situated within this convenient yet semi-rural location.

The property offers flexible living accommodation with the advantage of having its own annexe with separate entrance which could create additional income or be ideal for multi-generational living. With gas central heating (with separate boiler for the main house and the annexe) the property briefly comprises; entrance vestibule leading into the reception hall with staircase to the first floor and understairs storage cupboard. There is an inner hallway with a ground floor WC. The lounge has an attractive living flame remote controlled gas fire and double opening doors lead into a spacious dining room with sliding patio doors enjoying breathtaking views towards Knaresborough Forest Park. The dining room leads through into the sitting room which has a wood burning stove and beyond is the dining kitchen with bi-folding doors onto the elevated deck which takes full advantage of the views to the rear. There is a separate side entrance which gives access to a secondary staircase to the first floor annexe.

A staircase leads to the first floor landing where there are two double bedrooms both enjoying attractive views and serviced by a modern shower room with large walk-in shower. There is a inner landing / dressing room with access into the annexe and also to the principal bedroom which again takes full advantage of the woodland views. There is also an en-suite bathroom.

The first floor annexe currently comprises a kitchenette and dining area with two further double bedrooms both having their own en-suite shower rooms.

Outside, the property is approached via a long tree lined driveway leading to a large driveway providing ample off street parking and turning area. There is also a large integral double garage which could create further accommodation subject to all the necessary consents. To the side there is a further gravelled parking area and leads to a timber studio / workshop (12'6 x 9'3) with electric light and power installed. A further feature of the property are the private rear gardens which can be accessed from both sides and also the large elevated deck with contemporary glass balustrade which will be ideal for those entertaining. The gardens are laid predominantly to lawn with mature trees and breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and back towards St. Johns Church. There is also a summerhouse.

Moray House is situated on the outskirts of Knaresborough's historic market town, where there is shopping, recreational and schooling facilities for all age groups.
