Seller Insight

Recently renovated Derwent House is a unique stand-alone property set in one acre on the northern edge of Barmby on the Marsh, a village which lies on the east bank of the River Ouse, near its confluence with the River Derwent. Embracing its riverside location, the house, which has a very French farmhouse look at feel, comes with a substantial pond geared to summer swimming. Fully modernised inside and out by the current owners it has no immediate neighbours and offers a great deal of privacy. ‘As soon as you enter the property the garden takes your breath away and then when the large swim pond comes into view it really “wows” you,’ say the owners, who add, ‘it’s a truly lovely home in a very peaceful setting where we endlessly feel like we are on holiday!’ In the four years the owners have been here they have totally transformed the garden to make it very special while inside, amongst many other things, they have carried out a full kitchen remodel and replacement and made some minor structural changes to open-up the kitchen into a snug area. Rurally located but not cut off the property is walking distance from a local pub/restaurant and only four miles from the historic market town of Howden which has a good number of shops, schools, bars and restaurants, and a train station.

‘When we first moved in many of the locals referred to it as the “French Chateau” –we think the modelling and style of the house was influenced by the previous owners as they spent half their lives living in France.’

‘We don’t have any immediate neighbours however we have found the people in the village to be very friendly, welcoming and social – we’re always popping round to people’s houses or welcoming them at ours.’

‘With thirty windows and seven sets of double doors the views – from sunrise to sunset – are amazing with nothing getting in the way.’

‘The whole place is incredible in the summer, and it’s perfectly geared to entertaining – there’s so much room for people to eat together, sit and chat or dance the night away.’

‘The Derwent River is just fifteen metres from the front door however there is a very low risk of flooding, in fact it has never flooded.’

‘We will miss the peace and quiet, wonderful wildlife, stunning views and fantastic level of privacy.’ *
