A GREAT deal will have changed both in the wider world and its immediate environs since Church Lane Farm was built in the 1800s, but one thing is sure to have remained the same. That this is a house you would be proud to call home.
Today a spacious grade II listed family home, Church Lane Farm – which is situated in the popular village of Rainton – is stunning both inside and out.
The stone-built property is beautifully maintained and has an abundance of character and original features throughout – including exposed wood ceiling beams, oak flooring and open fireplaces. All blend seamlessly with its more contemporary side to allow Church Lane Farm to function as a thoroughly modern family home with the perfect balance of traditional and modern design.
The heart of the home is without doubt the kitchen breakfast room which features bespoke fitted oak kitchen cupboards and a central island with granite worksurfaces and breakfast bar for informal dining. Muted colours, wood floors and stainless steel appliances combine to give the room an understated, yet elegant, feel, with the range cooker set into an alcove with feature beam creating a stylish focal point.

The kitchen has the added bonus of a handy pantry, plus there's the utility room which offers additional storage and houses the washing machine, tumble dryer and gas boiler. Electric underfloor heating runs through the kitchen into the dining room next door, essential for those colder nights when you want to entertain friends or enjoy a relaxing family meal. This room also has a feature fireplace with open fire.
Off the kitchen is a cloakroom and the family room with a log burning stove and traditional Yorkshire sash window. Perfect for cosy family nights in it could be utilised as a study or library area, if preferred.
Located on the far side of the house is the generous sitting room where a log-burning fire takes centre stage in an exposed brick chimney breast.

Upstairs on the first floor are three of five bedrooms, plus the family bathroom.
The master bedroom overlooks the rear manicured garden, and benefits from both built-in wardrobes and a modern wet room en-suite with twin sinks. In addition, there are two mezzanine reading areas, one located on the landing and the other accessed from bedroom three.
Upstairs again are two further double bedrooms with Velux windows and exposed beams, plus a shower room.
Church Lane Farm has two fantastic gardens. The large front garden is mostly laid to lawn with planted borders, making it perfect for children to play and enjoy the long summer nights in.

To the rear, the current owners have created the perfect space for entertaining. The walled garden is private and secluded with a patio seating area, planted flower borders and a barbecue kitchen area.
The property also has an attached single garage, a shed and log store and private parking for several cars.
Church Lane Farm is located in the desirable village of Rainton, five miles from Ripon and eight miles from Thirsk. It is on the market at a guide price of £975,000.
