Description

Woodard House, formerly the Old Workhouse, is an attractive stone building prominently located within lawned gardens on the edge of Helmsley, only a few minutes walk from the main Market Place designated as a Conservation Area and situated within the North York Moors National Park.

Part of an historic conversion that took place back in the 1970's, this substantial ground floor apartment is one of 8 self contained properties with early Victorian period features. Light and airy rooms with high ceilings comprise a long entrance hall with doors leading off to its principle reception rooms together with three good size bedrooms (2 double with built-in wardrobes and 1 large single) plus shower room. The kitchen includes some appliances, heating is via a Worcester gas central heating boiler and windows are double glazed.

The grounds are for the enjoyment of all the apartments and come in the form of an expanse of lawn to the front with dual access to either side leading to private car parking space. No. 3 has the benefit of a stone garage with a remotely operated door, electricity connected and loft storage above. We are advised the residents of Woodard House enjoy the benefit of the adjoining woodland for which an annual peppercorn rent is paid to the Duncombe Park Estate.
