WHENit comes to design excellence, few family homes could surpass Derwent Mount, a substantial Edwardian townhouse in Malton which oozes style and sophistication.

Extensively refurbished and finished to the highest standards, the property showcases contemporary style and all the conveniences of modern living in rooms which have retained the period proportions you would expect in such a home.

On the ground floor is a drawing room, dining room, library, study, vaulted games room – which could be converted to provide additional living space – and L-shaped breakfast kitchen with an Aga. Thanks to its spacious dining area and light and airy ambience, the latter room is the heart of the home.

There is also an entrance hall, two cloakrooms, utility room and butler’s pantry.

On the first floor are a gym, family bathroom, separate wc, master bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing room, plus two further bedrooms, one of which is a guest bedroom with en-suite shower room.

Upstairs again are a shower room, four more bedrooms and a playroom with kitchenette.

The property also has a cellar/laundry room.

Derwent Mount has a largerthan- average garden to the rear, which is mainly lawned with decked terrace and patio placed to capture the afternoon and evening sun. It also has a garage.

Derwent Mount is on the market at £795,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact Savills’ York office on 1904 617820.
