A rare opportunity to purchase a charming private house in Langton, described as one of the ‘loveliest’ villages in Yorkshire.   Norcliffe House is an imposing, Grade II listed, period house forming part of the Langton Estate, constructed in the mid-18th Century of limestone under a pantile roof, with Yorkshire sash windows and stone coping stones on the decorative gables.   

The property was originally the public house for the village and occupies a commanding corner position on the Main Street.  Norcliffe House has been extensively renovated by the current owners including re-roofing, re-pointing and works to the windows and services, providing an ideal opportunity for a new owner to upgrade the accommodation to the desired standard and create a stunning family home.  There is a delightful enclosed garden to the north elevation and off street car parking space adjoining the south elevation. 

LOCATION

The village is conveniently located within easy reach of the Howardian hills AONB, North York Moors National Park, Yorkshire Wolds and Scarborough coast, providing plentiful walking and cycling and with excellent access links via the A64 and a connecting station at Malton to the main East Coast railway line at York.
