LOCATION is key when it comes to property. And this Saltburn home certainly ticks all the right boxes.
The house on Marske Mill Lane is not only beautiful on the inside, but has fantastic views of local countryside and woodlands on the outside. Built in the 1960s, the current owners bought the home three years ago and since then have brought the interiors bang up to date. “It hadn’t really been touched since it was built,” said the owner, “so we completely re-developed it and added more space on the top floor.” But the owners say it was the property’s location that attracted them to the house. “Marske Mill Lane was one of the roads in Saltburn we’d dreamed of living on,” he said. “The site is totally unique and the views are fantastic. We can look over trees and fields across to Skelton. “The house is at the end of a lane making it very secluded it’s so peaceful here.” Entering the property you arrive in the entrance hall, which has a Brazilian slate floor. The lounge has an open fire, American walnut flooring and French doors leading to a balcony - making the most of those fantastic views. The open plan kitchen/dining area also has American walnut flooring and French doors. This level is completed with an en suite bedroom, a further bedroom and shower room/utility. On the first floor is the master bedroom which also has French doors leading to a balcony, giving extensive views. There is also an en suite bathroom with luxurious Jacuzzi bath. Outside, lawns and mature trees surround the property plus there is a garage. “We completely gutted the property and brought in a designer to develop the place,” added the owner. “Originally the bedrooms were very small and there was no hallway. “We’ve made all the bedrooms a good size and added the en suite. “The open plan design also makes the most of the views.” A favourite spot for the owners is the raised decking area, accessed from the property through French doors in the lounge. “It’s a great spot,” he added, “we like to spend a lot of time there in the summer having BBQs. “But I also like the study area in the hall where you can enjoy the views while you work.” The property’s setting makes it a haven for wildlife. “I’ve often sat doing paper work watching the squirrels,” added the owner. “We also see woodpeckers and pheasants, it’s a very special place.” But this tranquil haven is also handy for town. “You can walk to town in about five minutes,” added the owner. “It’s a lovely walk through woods into Valley Gardens and on to the sea.” With plans to move on to a new project, the owners have put this property up for sale. But there’s still development possibilities for a new owner to make their mark as there’s potential to develop a roof terrace and to extend beneath the house. “This is a great house,” added the owner. “The views are fantastic and the location is so peaceful. It’s very special.” 52 Marske Mill Lane, Saltburn is up for sale priced at £495,000. More details from Inglebys Estate Agents, Saltburn on 01287 623648. |
