SALUTATION Cottage Farm, as it stands today, could well have been created with the saying ‘you can never have too much of a good thing’ in mind.

During the 35 years the current owners have lived in the house they have extended and revamped it to produce a well-proportioned family home with a wealth of excellent accommodation and features.

This is evident from the moment you enter the house through the glazed atrium entrance hall which opens into a light and airy contemporary kitchen, and onto the remainder of the ground floor accommodation.

This briefly comprises an elegant drawing room with feature fireplace, two large bay windows and a French window overlooking the garden, plus a bar area; sitting room and family room, both with fireplaces; dining room with vaulted ceilings and a feature fireplace; utility room; cloakroom and large study/library.

Without doubt at the heart of this home, however, is the kitchen, which has a partly glazed roof, bespoke Smallbone fitted units, a central island incorporating an induction cooker, plus a separate electric AGA.

Upstairs are a family shower room and four spacious bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom and the master suite which has a dressing room (which could be used as an occasional bedroom/nursery if required) and a luxurious bathroom. This bedroom also has a spiral staircase to the ground floor.

Also leading off the main reception hall is a luxurious indoor heated swimming pool with a kitchenette and separate shower room/changing room. Five French doors in this room open onto the terrace, making it a wonderful space for entertaining or al fresco dining.

Salutation Cottage Farm is set in gardens and grounds that extend to 5.63 acres and include an area of parkland.

The gardens are laid mainly to lawn, and are home to an orchard, kitchen garden and parterre.

There are various fruit trees and bushes throughout the grounds, including plum, mulberries, strawberries, damsons and bright red Beauty of Bath apple trees.

The property also has a dog run and a plant room housing the boiler and filtration equipment for the swimming pool, as well as an in and out gravel driveway which provides ample parking in addition to the large garage with space for at least three cars.

Salutation Cottage Farm is situated in the hamlet of Little Smeaton, about six miles to the north of Northallerton, and is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills. It enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding country- side.

The property is on the market at offers in excess of £850,000.
