5 Bedroom Detached House

Few houses announce themselves quite like Carlton House. The warm red brick frontage, sash windows and climbing wisteria are the first indication of what lies within: a Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse of over 3,400 sq ft, carefully and thoughtfully improved by its current owners, including the replacement of many windows, whilst retaining the kind of period detail that cannot be replicated. A sweeping entrance hall with herringbone parquet and a vaulted arched opening, wood-burning stoves across the principal reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen, a lantern-roofed family room and a vaulted second floor with original oak roof trusses speak to a house that has been lived in well and improved with a clear sense of what it is.

Set in Carlton Miniott on the outskirts of Thirsk, with five bedrooms across four floors, four reception rooms, a dedicated study, private walled grounds, a stone terrace and a double garage, Carlton House offers a scale and character of family home that rarely comes to the market in this part of North Yorkshire.

Carlton Miniott is a village and civil parish on the A61, to the immediate west of Thirsk and approximately 25 miles north of York. It has its own distinct character while sitting within easy reach of everything the market town offers: independent shops, cafes, a racecourse, a leisure centre and a secondary school with sixth form.

The village has its own primary academy, a post office and store, and several public houses. Thirsk railway station is within the village, approximately 0.8km from Carlton House, and is a significant practical advantage. The station is served by Grand Central trains to London King's Cross and TransPennine Express services to Middlesbrough and Manchester Airport. London King's Cross is reachable in under two and a half hours. The A1(M) is readily accessible, placing the wider motorway network within straightforward reach, with York around 25 miles to the south, Harrogate approximately 22 miles and Leeds around 30 miles.

For families, the village primary school is well regarded, with Thirsk School and Sixth Form College the main secondary option. Within a wider radius, independent schools including Ampleforth, Queen Mary's Baldersby and Cundall Manor are all accessible.
