A SUBSTANTIAL Grade II-listed Georgian property that dates back to 1809, Welbury House is a grand old dame that not only oozes elegance throughout but, by virtue of its past as a rectory, also enjoys a wonderful setting behind the church at the heart of the village after which it is named.

Briefly, its accommodation includes a welcoming reception hall, formal drawing room with timber panelling to dado level, living room, study/den, dining room, country-style breakfast kitchen, boot room, utility room, cloakroom, larder and a two-room cellar which is accessed from the inner corridor.

Both the drawing and living rooms have sash windows, opengrate fireplaces and, like many of the rooms in the house, beautiful views either of the church or over the garden and towards the North York Moors.

Accessed via a grand, cantilever staircase is the upstairs accommodation, which comprises the family bathroom and five bedrooms.

This includes the master suite with en-suite bathroom and a guest bedroom, also with an ensuite bathroom. There is also a dressing room which could easily be converted into a sixth bedroom, if required.

If that’s not enough accommodation for interested buyers, they will be pleased to discover that Welbury House is being sold with planning permission to convert its coach house into two-bedroom ancillary accommodation. At present this building is used as garaging, stabling and a storage space.

Welbury House sits in approximately 1.825 acres of gardens and grounds, some of which could be used as a small paddock. Laid mainly to lawn, it is home to a summerhouse, greenhouse, vegetable garden, fruit trees and a tennis court which is in need of updating.

Welbury House is on the market at offers in excess of £800,000.
