\r
Owl Beck is an appealing detached house, offering deceptively spacious and highly versatile accommodation within a sought-after and picturesque village. The property, which is constructed of natural stone, has been re-roofed within the last five years and the whole has been immaculately maintained. It enjoys a delightful position, fronting onto the beck, in the centre of Gilling East.\r

All principal rooms in the house are generously proportioned and the accommodation, which amounts to over 1,900sq.ft, comprises entrance hall, sitting room with multi-fuel stove, dining room/snug, kitchen diner with Aga, utility room and a ground floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom. A galleried landing on the first floor opens onto three further bedrooms and a large house bathroom. The master bedroom spans the full width of the house and enjoys a lovely aspect across the rear garden.\r

Externally there are especially attractive gardens, which have been thoughtfully landscaped and meticulously maintained. The bulk of the gardens are positioned to the front and rear of the house, where there is a useful veranda, and further courtyard style garden to one side. As with the house, a number of reclaimed materials have been incorporated into the landscaping and grounds, including York stone paving, cast-iron railings and gates. A driveway bridges the beck and leads to a generous driveway. Owl Beck also has the benefit of a garage, which is accessed from the rear, via a right of way from Pottergate.\r
