5 bed detached house for sale

Church Garth, Great Smeaton, Northallerton, North Yorkshire DL6

Hidden within approximately 1.3 acres in the heart of Great Smeaton, this detached five bedroom home delivers something increasingly rare.

From the moment you arrive, the property carries a real sense of presence. The spacious entrance hallway immediately introduces the scale and quality found throughout, complete with downstairs WC and built in storage.

To the front sits a versatile reception room which could just as easily become a cinema room, snug, games room or luxury home office depending on what stage of life you are in.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, offering extensive cupboard space above and below alongside generous worktop preparation areas. Finished with tiled flooring and centred around a breakfast bar, the space works perfectly for busy family mornings as well as informal entertaining. Integrated appliances are complemented by space for freestanding appliances, allowing the room to remain both functional and beautifully proportioned.

To the side of the kitchen, a useful porch area provides the ideal space for storing coats, boots and countryside gear, perfectly suited to the rural setting. This area also gives access to the side entrance, utility room and internal door into the garage, creating a highly practical layout.

The dining room comfortably accommodates a large dining table and flows naturally into the main living space below. This is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home; an impressive open plan reception area with full width bi-folding doors and Velux windows drawing natural light across the entire space. The elevated position overlooking the gardens and surrounding countryside gives the room an exceptional outlook throughout the year, whilst direct access onto the raised terrace makes it ideal for entertaining.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generously sized with high ceilings, large front facing window and a modern en-suite shower room overlooking the rear gardens. There are three further double bedrooms, one benefitting from fitted wardrobes, alongside a fifth bedroom currently utilised as a home office. The main bathroom is fitted with both a bath and separate shower together with twin sinks.

Externally, Church Garth becomes something very special. The raised decking area has been thoughtfully designed to create multiple seating and entertaining spaces alongside a fully fitted outdoor bar area.
From here, steps lead down into the landscaped gardens with fire pit area and storage sheds before opening into the substantial paddock beyond. Extending to approximately 1.1 acres in total, the grounds offer an increasingly rare sense of privacy and freedom whilst still remaining manageable and beautifully connected to the house itself.

To the front, the property benefits from extensive off street parking together with an electric double garage.

Great Smeaton offers the perfect balance between countryside living and convenience. Surrounded by open countryside and known for its attractive character properties and peaceful setting, the village provides a true sense of rural lifestyle whilst remaining exceptionally well connected.

Church Garth is ideally positioned for access to both Yarm and Northallerton, with Yarm offering a vibrant mix of independent restaurants, bars, cafés and boutique shops, alongside highly regarded schooling and excellent rail connections. Northallerton provides further amenities including major supermarkets, leisure facilities and direct rail services to London and Edinburgh via the East Coast Main Line.
