MoorlinchTucked away, just off the village green, Moorlinch opens up to give stunning views of Lower Wensleydale from all the principal rooms and gardens. The property occupies a substantial site extending to around 1.8 acres with beautiful gardens which have been created by the current owners with pathways meandering through. The accommodation includes a central reception hall which leads to a bedroom wing and a living wing plus the relatively recent addition of a superb master bedroom suite featuring a balcony to enjoy the views. The property has been superbly maintained with the benefit of a biomass central heating system and solar panels.

Situation & AmenitiesThornton Steward is a small rural village between Bedale and Leyburn on the edge of the Danby Estate in Lower Wensleydale. Home to one of the few surviving Norman churches, dating back to the 11th century, St Oswalds which is believed to be the oldest Church in Wensleydale. Tucked away in Lower Wensleydale, the Village Institute provides a central hub for social events and gatherings in this thriving community. The nearby Thornton Steward Reservoir offers both sailing & fishing. There are local primary schools at Thornton Watlass & Spennithorne, with secondary schools at Bedale and Leyburn, Ripon Grammer is also a short drive away. Private schools are at Newton-Le-Willows, Sedbergh and Barnard Castle.

From here there is access to both sides of the property. To the right is the bedroom wing, to the left is the reception wing and French glazed panelled doors opening directly into a superb split-level living room. The flooring in all these areas is engineered oak. The living room has large picture windows to two sides with stunning views over the gardens to an expansive view of the dales beyond.

The first area of the living room has wooden panelled walls and a decorative carved balustrade between the two levels, the lower level has a panelled wall with a sandstone fire surround with a multi fuel stove. From here French doors open into the garden room with stunning views all around, engineered oak flooring and French doors opening out to one of the garden areas.

Returning back through the living room to the main reception hall and into the reception wing a hallway leads off towards the dining room and kitchen, with a laundry and utility room off. The dining room has exposed stone walls to three sides and a large picture window to enjoy the stunning views over the Dale. The dining kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor units with oak frontage and granite work surfaces incorporating a double Belfast sink unit, LPG gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge and dishwasher.
