Springfield House is an attractive village house set within extensive gardens and

grounds with an adjoining paddock beyond. The property is believed to date from

the mid 17th Century when it was two cottages, which were later amalgamated and

substantially extended to create a spacious residence in one of the area’s most

sought-after villages.

The property enjoys scenic views to the rear, across the undulating countryside of

the Howardian Hills and occupies a total site area of approximately 2.4 acres.

The accommodation, which is arranged over two floors and amounts to over

2,000ft2, would now benefit from updating and improvement but offers

tremendous potential to create a superb family home. In brief it comprises:

vestibule, entrance hall, drawing room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen diner,

utility room, cloakroom and rear porch. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms

and two bathrooms. Central heating is oil-fired and windows are double-glazed.

The house occupies a site of roughly half an acre, which consists of especially

attractive gardens with extensive lawn, well-stocked borders and a variety of trees.

There is a double gated driveway, providing ample room to park, an attached

garage and range of outbuildings including a substantial timber-frame

garage/workshop. Beyond the gardens is a large, grass paddock which amounts to

1.87 acres, bringing the total site area to almost 2.4 acres and will be of interest to

buyers with equestrian or smallholding interests.

Bulmer is a picturesque village set within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding

Natural Beauty and is typified by a broad village street and mellow, stone-built

houses. The village is within easy reach of excellent local amenities in both the

nearby market town of Malton and the City of York.
