IF JASMINE House, in Middleham, was to be described in racing terms – given the town’s connections – it would without doubt be more oddson favourite than also-ran.

An elegant grade II listed Georgian property built in 1740, it has everything a buyer could want in a home, including a wealth of character-packed acommodation and a fantastic position on the east side of the town’s marketplace – next door to a pub.

Jasmine House is not the entire original main house, as a third of this was used to create a separate property. It remains, however, a substantial family home with spacious rooms that reflects the essence of traditional Georgian townhouses.

Extensively renovated to a high standard, the property includes a ground floor entrance hall, drawing room with elegant cast iron fireplace, inner hall, cloakroom and open-plan kitchen and dining room. Split into two distinct areas, this 30ft long room includes a kitchen area with a good range of base and wall units, beamed ceiling, island work station and a recess with a period cupboard and display shelves, plus a dining area that’s partially glazed to take advantage of the light and views.

This room has underfloor heating and a door leading to the patio.

The first floor is home to an ultra-modern designer family shower room and two bedrooms, including the master bedroom with an original cast iron fireplace and luxury en-suite shower room.

Window seats in this room overlook the marketplace.

Upstairs again on the second floor are a further two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom.

All of the rooms on this floor have window seats with views over the marketplace or the river valley.

Outside, Jasmine House has a two-tiered, east-facing rear patio garden that enjoys glorious morning sunshine and a small paved garden with traditional iron railings at the front. It also benefits from large dry cellars.

As well as a spacious family home, this would be the perfect property for a buyer looking to create a bed and breakfast.

Jasmine House is on the market at offers in the region of £365,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact the Leyburn office of JR Hopper & Co on 01969 622936.
