A superb, four-bedroom stone-built house occupying a unique, hillside plot of around one third of an acre, enjoying panoramic views, along with a garage & driveway parking.
Stoney Heights enjoys a unique, one third of an acre plot, facing south, and set into the hillside of Caulkley’s Bank. From its elevated position, this stone-built property enjoys a stunning outlook, taking in far-reaching views across open countryside, and benefits from deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over two floors.
Dating from the late 1970s, the property has only changed hands once since its construction. During the current owners’ tenure numerous improvements have been made, including re-roofing works, replacement uPvc double-glazed windows, doors, soffits and facias, and extensive landscaping of the gardens.
Stoney Heights enjoys a versatile layout of accommodation, which amounts to almost 1,420sq.ft and comprises entrance hall, sitting room with open fire, dining room, kitchen, two ground floor double bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room) and a house bathroom. To the first floor is a landing space and two further double bedrooms.
The gardens have been painstakingly landscaped, creating year-round colour and interest. They feature a series of attractive paths and walkways, criss-crossing between well-stocked shrub borders which reveal numerous seating areas to taking in a variety of views. Despite their size, they have been designed to be relatively easy to maintain, and are a haven for local wildlife. A handgate from the rear garden gives the owners of Stoney Heights direct access onto a public footpath, which runs along the ridge of Caulkley’s Bank and to the nearby village of Nunnington and beyond.
At street level, a gravelled parking area provides access to a generously proportioned single garage and has space to park up to three cars. From here a set of shallow steps lead up to the house, as well as a gently meandering, step-free path.
Stonegrave is a picturesque North Yorkshire village which lies on the Malton to Helmsley road, along the southern slopes of Caulkley's Bank. The nearby estate village of Hovingham benefits from a gastro pub, popular bakery, and doctor's surgery and the closest primary schools are in the villages of Slingsby and Ampleforth (both approximately 5 miles). The neighbouring market towns of Malton and Helmsley offer a wide range of local amenities including secondary schooling and a railway station in Malton with regular services to York, from where London can be reached in less than 2 hours.

The property occupies a unique hillside plot of approximately one third of an acre, allowing for sensational, panoramic views across the village and open countryside beyond. At street level, a gravelled driveway provides space to park and gives access to a generous garage, which has light and power laid on. The gardens enjoy a southerly aspect and have been cleverly landscaped, stocked with a wide variety of flowering shrubs, perennials and specimen trees, intersected by a series of gravelled paths and walkways, which link up with numerous patios and seating areas, which capture a different view or aspect. The garden features several small ponds and water features, along with an outside WC and a recently replaced summerhouse and garden shed.
