The property is in the sought-after Yorkshire Wolds village of Langtoft and, after serving as a family home, it is now a successful luxury holiday let, which means the furniture and furnishings are available to buy as part of the sale.

The house, for sale for £400,000 with www.strike.co.uk, has a large kitchen, separate dining room, a sitting room, cloakroom and a study.

The turret holds the staircase which leads to a large main bedroom with ensuite bathroom, two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a house bathroom with a bath and rain fall shower.

Outside, there are cast iron gates, a large drive and a walled garden. The south-facing home is in a private spot, tucked away from the village main street.

The property has an oil-fired boiler fitted in 2019 and serviced in March 2023 and new carpets were fitted in 2020 while hard flooring throughout has been upgraded, including marble in the downstairs bathroom and limestone in the kitchen.

The house has been repainted this year and new blinds and curtains fitted.

The property is in the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds and is a 14 mile, half hour drive from the Yorkshire coast at Filey.
