3 Situation & Amenities Riverbank Cottage is in a private rural setting with four neighbouring properties in the immediate vicinity. The village of Aldbrough St John is situated approximately two miles away by road and is accessible via bridleways too. The village itself is set in and around the village green and has a pub, doctors surgery, village hall and church. The village of Eppleby is close by with a primary school, village shop and tea room. Also close to hand is Middleton Tyas and Barton, both of which have pubs and local shops. Aldbrough St John is equi-distant to Darlington and Richmond, both of which offer a good range of amenities, including national and local retailers, swimming pools, cinemas, state and private educational opportunities at both primary and secondary level. There are traditional weekly markets, libraries and good range of restaurants. Description Riverbank Cottage is set in a secluded rural position on a site exending to around one acre, with superb gardens bordering open farmland beyond. Originally two farm cottages which have been sympathetically converted to create a lovely family home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of reception accommodation. In all, Riverbank Cottage has a plot in excess of I acre, comprising gardens, double garage, lawns and a small paddock of around ¼ acre directly adjoining the garden and drive and bordered by Clow beck. Accommodation The property is entered through a solid wooden door into a spacious entrance hall with an oak return staircase to the first floor. From here there is access to a cloakroom/wc, the living room and the snug. The snug is a cosy room with a Victorian style fireplace with wooden surround and a cast iron and tiled inset with an open grate. From the snug there is access to the kitchen and the garden room. The garden room is a huge asset to the house with plenty of space for both seating and dining if desired and French doors opening out to a large elevated terrace, from which to enjoy the gardens and the views beyond. The kitchen is fitted in solid oak with granite effect work surfaces over and colourful tiled surrounds to the worktops. There are a range of integrated appliances including: a ceramic hob with extractor hood over, electric double oven, dishwasher and fridge. A cream Aga is set into the recess which is currently not connected but could be re-instated if desired. There is a walk-in larder and a useful utility room with fitted units and a door to the rear of the property. The kitchen, utility room and garden room all have underfloor heating. From the kitchen, sliding doors open directly into the dining room with sash windows overlooking the driveway and lawns. From the kitchen a door opens through to the main living room, also with sash windows and a wooden fireplace surround with cast iron and tiled insets and an open grate. This room can be directly accessed from the entrance hall. To the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms; three of which have period fireplaces, and a family bathroom also with a period fireplace. The master suite has a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with modern white suite comprising panel bath, moulded wash hand basin with display plinths each side and cupboards below and a low level w.c. A separate glass walk in shower cubicle completes the master suite.

4 Externally The property is approached via a recently resurfaced driveway with a good sized lawned garden to the left hand side screened by trees and with the paddock to the right hand side. The paddock has access both from the drive and from the house and gardens and is bordered to one side by a beck. Riverbank House enjoys a sizeable plot with a gravel driveway allowing parking for several vehicles and access to a detached double garage with two up and over doors. The gardens are mature and well maintained with shrubs and flower beds on the approach. The rear gardens comprise an elevated stone terrace with gravel borders and steps lead down to the lower garden with lawns and well stocked flower bed borders and an ornamental pond. A side gate allows further vehicle access into the rear garden if needed. Services The property is served by oil fired central heating. Drainage is to a soakaway. The garage has twelve solar panels which we understand feeds into the national grid. Sporting Rights The sporting rights are included within the sale as far as they are owned.
