ALTHOUGH its grand exterior harks back to an age long gone, Tanton Grange hasn’t yet celebrated its centenary, built as it was in the early 1920s.

The property forms the major part of the original Tanton Grange, which was split into two houses some years ago, but it remains a significant property in its own right.

From the moment you approach it down the long private drive which sweeps past woodland and the main lawn, it’s obvious that Tanton Grange is something special.

That feeling continues into the grand Elizabethan panelled reception hall and from there around the rest of the building.

There’s a spacious drawing room featuring an open fire with an 18th century carved pine surround, and oak-panelled sitting room with a stone fireplace and wood burning stove inset and a dining room with oak-panelled walls and ceiling, a significant stone fireplace and double French doors onto the terrace. There is also a breakfast kitchen with dining area, a store room, under stairs cupboard, laundry room and cloakroom with a pair of WCs.

There is potential to extend the kitchen into the adjoining garage if required.

A magnificent staircase leads to the first floor and a large landing, off which are seven bedrooms and three bathrooms.

This includes the master bedroom – which has a seating area and large stone fireplace as well as an en-suite bathroom – and a guest bedroom with en-suite dressing room. One of the bedrooms – a pretty pine-panelled room with a Grindley Gibbons fireplace – is currently a study. All the bedrooms have wash basins and one of the bedrooms has its own shower.

Outside, Tanton Grange is just as impressive. One of the highlights of the property is a large terrace on the south side of the house which overlooks the gardens.

Tanton Grange also has vegetable and fruit gardens, a wooded area, a large carport with playroom, store room and a large detached set of outbuildings housing a single garage, workshop, fruit store, store room and fuel store. There is an additional garage at the western end of the main house.

Tanton Grange is set in just over seven acres of gardens and grounds. Situated in Stokesley, it is on the market at a guide price of £1.4m.
