The house itself stands in an elevated position with an attractive outlook north east, taking in Oliver s Mount and the sea and coast beyond. The grounds are a particular feature of the property, being very mature and landscaped in a 1930's style, in character with the age of the property with lawn bounded by extensive plantings including rhododendrons, azaleas and hydrangeas together with a number of evergreens. Pathways bisect throughout the garden providing any number of different walks and hidden areas, creating a garden which is truly rich in colour and interest. At the top of the garden is an enclosed grassy area, with a timber summer house idyllically positioned to make the most of the view and privacy. Adjacent to the garden is approximately 6 acres of land, ideal for those with equestrian and small holding interests which is available by separate negotiation by the neighbouring farm.

With the addition of land and views the property is in many aspects the ideal lifestyle property. Scarborough's attractions are manifold and include: two spectacular sandy beaches, extensive twelfth century castle ruins, fishing harbour and lighthouse and the town is close to the eastern boundary of the North York Moors National Park.

The grounds are an exceptional feature of the property, being carefully laid out under the enthusiastic and knowledgeable eye of a former owner which saw the gardens place in several local competitions. The focus has been on creating a park style garden with lawns flanked by borders filled with mature perennials and trees including evergreens, rhododendrons, banks of hydrangeas and azaleas. A wildlife pond stands to the far side and a number of pathways have been cut throughout the garden to create a variety of different walks through both the formal gardens and amongst the woodlands which runs down to Lady Edith s Drive. To the southern edge of the grounds, positioned well out of sight of the house on an elevated plateau stands a large timber built summer house with a decked terrace to the front. The summer house has electric light, integrated fridge and power and a superb outlook to Jacobs Mount and across the town to the coast beyond.
