High Garth is an expansive Grade II listed stone property located on the edge of a charming village, offering a sense of privacy alongside remarkable views of the North York Moors. Originally constructed as a series of 18th-century cottages, this home has been thoughtfully transformed into a single residence that retains much of its historical character while providing ample accommodation space.
Set within over three acres of established gardens and grounds, High Garth features mature landscaping, areas of woodland, and grazing paddocks that present potential for future development opportunities, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The property includes several outbuildings: a substantial two-story stone garage with workshop space and additional storage above, as well as further detached stone structures suitable for various uses such as wood and coal storage.
The living space spans more than 1,800 square feet and comprises an entrance porch leading into a hallway. The dual-aspect sitting room and adjacent living room both benefit from multi-fuel stoves, creating cozy gathering spaces. At the rear, the kitchen features granite-topped cabinets with integrated appliances, connected to an adjoining utility room and cloakroom. Additional practical elements include a boiler room equipped with fitted cabinetry and an oil boiler.
Upstairs offers flexibility through a large dual-aspect bedroom that connects to an adjoining study, along with two additional bedrooms and a house bathroom. There is potential for reconfiguration if desired; in particular, plumbing provisions are in place for adding an en-suite bathroom to the primary bedroom.
Nestled within the picturesque moorland village of Castleton—located approximately ten miles south of Guisborough and fifteen miles west of Whitby—the property benefits from local amenities that foster a close-knit community atmosphere. Key features include a general store, independent food shop, two pubs, a parish church, playgrounds for children, and an outdoor bowling club. The local primary school has received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, while secondary education options are available in nearby Whitby and Guisborough.
Castleton is also conveniently served by the Esk Valley railway line which connects residents to both Whitby and Middlesbrough—facilitating easy access to broader regional amenities while maintaining the tranquility of village life. This property offers not only comfortable living spaces but also significant potential for renovation or investment amidst stunning natural surroundings.
