QUOTE REF NR0608
Set within the heart of the picturesque and highly sought after village of Scorton, this truly unique ground floor apartment presents a rare opportunity to rent a beautifully converted home brimming with character, charm and elegance. Forming part of the historic former presbytery to the much loved St. Mary & St. James Church, the property has been sympathetically transformed whilst retaining an abundance of period features and an unmistakable sense of warmth and history. Complete with its own private entrance, this is far from your average apartment and offers a lifestyle setting that is incredibly difficult to find on the rental market.
Step inside through the welcoming vestibule into the entrance hallway where the quality and character of the accommodation immediately becomes apparent. The standout feature of the home is without doubt the magnificent lounge, an exceptionally generous and beautifully presented living space centred around a striking stone fireplace which creates a wonderful focal point. Large windows flood the room with natural light whilst also providing delightful views across the immaculately maintained gardens, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The proportions of the room comfortably allow for both substantial lounge furniture and a dining area, making it a wonderfully versatile living and entertaining space.
Positioned to the rear of the apartment is the stylish newly fitted kitchen which has been thoughtfully designed to complement the character of the building whilst offering all the conveniences of modern living. There is an integrated electric oven and hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher alongside an excellent range of sleek wall and base units providing plenty of storage and preparation space.
The bedroom is another particularly impressive room, offering excellent proportions and dual aspect views across the surrounding greenery. The room feels bright, calm and inviting, whilst the charming electric fireplace further enhances the cosy and characterful feel of the property. Adjacent sits the beautifully appointed newly installed three piece bathroom, finished in a timeless style with contemporary fittings.
Externally, the setting is simply superb. Residents enjoy access to the beautifully maintained lawned gardens positioned in front of the church, lovingly cared for by the parish and offering a peaceful outdoor retreat rarely associated with apartment living. There is also the added benefit of a shared parking area, additional nearby on street parking, a useful brick built external storage room and enclosed bin store.
Properties of this nature are exceptionally rare to the rental market, particularly within such a desirable village location. Offering a remarkable combination of historic charm, generous room proportions, peaceful surroundings and high quality modern finishes, this is a home that simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
