No.1 Yorkshire is a fine, Grade II listed three-storey townhouse constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a pantile roof. The property dates from the late C18 with a later two-storey extension to the rear and has been sympathetically restored retaining original features combined with modern bathrooms and a superbly equipped kitchen. The adjacent coach house provides garaging and storage with the possibility of creating additional accommodation. There is off-road parking for several cars and delightful walled gardens to the rear.

The vestibule and reception hall are an impressive entrance to the property, with a glass floor panel looking down into the main cellars, which have been tanked and fitted as a wine cellar. There are three reception rooms on the ground floor, two having inset multi-fuel stoves. The modern kitchen has an extensive range of units with Corian work surfaces, a large island and breakfast bar, integrated appliances, and a separate utility room.

There is a bedroom reached from the half landing; with the majority of the first floor devoted to the master suite which comprises a large double bedroom with en-suite shower room, the nursery/bedroom six off, and a dressing room with bespoke cabinets. There is also a family bathroom on the first floor, with three further bedrooms on the second floor.

The coach house now provides garaging with a kitchenette and WC to the rear and the former tack room is now a garden store. On the first floor is a large split level room previously used as a studio/gymnasium. The attractively landscaped private walled gardens adjoin Cockhill Lane to the South, with open countryside views towards Scrooby Church and beyond. They offer a large enclosed terrace area which is ideal for entertaining, a separate lawn area sheltered by mature trees and a dog compound with kennelling.

it is on the market for £1,200,000.
