About
The Hayloft A beautifully finished three bedroom semi-detached house, built on the site of the original stables at Chapel Garth and incorporating reclaimed brick to elements of its front facade, giving the home genuine character alongside its high specification new build finish.
With a more compact garden than its neighbouring plots, The Hayloft is ideally suited to buyers looking for a well-appointed North Yorkshire bolthole without the demands of a large outside space to maintain, backed by a 10 year build warranty for complete peace of mind.
Location Catton is a peaceful, unspoiled village set amongst North Yorkshire countryside, with views towards the Dales to the west and the Moors to the east.
The village has a green, walks along the River Swale, and Catton Kitchen, a market garden and brunch spot, all within easy reach.
Thirsk town centre is around 6 miles away, with Thirsk Station providing East Coast Mainline connections to York, London, Edinburgh and, via the Transpennine line, Leeds and beyond.
The property is well placed for commuters, with access to the A1(M) at Junction 50 around 4 miles away and the A168 for the A19 close by.
Local schooling includes Topcliffe Primary, and Thirsk School & Sixth Form.
Specification Built to a high specification throughout, including Mitsubishi air source heat pump with underfloor heating to the ground floor, superior fitted kitchen and utility units with quartz worktops, full height tiling to bathrooms and en-suite, solid oak internal doors, and quality uPVC windows and Solidor composite external doors.
The build comes with a 10 year warranty.

Bi-fold doors to two sides open onto the rear patio and garden, while windows to both sides of the room bring in further natural light throughout the day.

A side door provides independent access to the outside, and the room also gives access through to the ground floor WC. Toilet Set off from the utility is a guest toilet with hand basin.
Snug 3.0m x 4.02m Set off from the kitchen and dining area, an intimate carpeted snug with a window to the side, ideal as a further sitting room, playroom, or quiet retreat away from the main living space.

Garage 3.14m x 5.97m The detached garage sits to the rear with a pitch, pan tile roof, electric door with remote control. The garage is fitted with EV charging.
Outside The Hayloft occupies a corner position within the development, with a block paved driveway providing off street parking and access to the detached single garage, offering secure parking or valuable additional storage space.
The property is finished with a striking mix of reclaimed brick to elements of the front facade, taken from the original stables that once stood on the site, alongside traditional brick under a clay tile roof, giving the home real character and a strong link to Catton's agricultural past.
To the front, a lawned garden has been bordered with newly planted hedging, which will mature over time to create a private, south facing outdoor space.
To the rear, a more compact, low maintenance garden is laid to lawn with a paved patio seating area accessed directly from the kitchen via bi-fold doors, and an air source heat pump positioned to the rear.
