Riston is a truly delightful Grade II listed home set within the charming village of Stainforth. Formerly a farmhouse with an adjoining barn, the property is believed to date back to the 17th century and now provides wonderfully flexible family accommodation, complemented by a self-contained annexe and further potential within the barn itself. The accommodation begins with a welcoming vestibule that leads through to the hallway, finished with a traditional slate floor. The dining room enjoys a warm and inviting atmosphere, centred around a wood-burning stove set upon a slate hearth, with sliding sash windows complete with shutters and a wood floor adding to the character. The living room is equally impressive, featuring a multi-fuel stove set within a striking stone surround, complemented by a slate floor and a front-facing sash window with shutters. Practical spaces are well considered. The utility room has a stone floor, plumbing for a washing machine and a walk-in pantry beyond, complete with stone slabs and shelving. A 2pc cloakroom with wash basin and WC is also located off the hallway. The farmhouse-style dining kitchen is both charming and functional, fitted with a double Belfast sink with mixer tap, wood block work surfaces, space for a tall fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher and room for a range cooker. A slate floor runs throughout and a door provides access to the rear. The office offers a flagged floor with underfloor heating and a stable door to the front, leading through to a boot room with tiled flooring and stable doors to both the front and rear. From here an internal door opens into the log store, which retains a cobbled floor and external door, with steps rising to a mezzanine storage area that offers excellent versatility, whether as a home gym, additional office or potential conversion space subject to the necessary consents. A further internal door leads through to the garage, where traditional barn arch doors from the roadside allow parking for one vehicle, along with an additional external door to the rear. From the hallway, a return staircase rises to a split-level landing, where a picture window overlooks the rear garden. The first floor hosts a 4pc shower room comprising a walk-in shower with overhead rainfall shower and side attachment, pedestal wash basin, bidet, low suite WC and an original-style radiator. There are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, three positioned to the front elevation with sliding sash windows. The principal bedroom features a decorative fireplace, while bedroom two benefits from a built-in media wall. The annexe is accessed via stone steps from the front elevation and is currently operated as a successful holiday let, offering an ideal retreat for guests. It could equally, subject to any necessary permissions, be incorporated into the main residence or utilised as accommodation for a dependent relative or teenager. Inside, there is a comfortable living room with electric fire, a kitchenette fitted with electric hob and oven, space for a fridge, sink unit and laminate work surface, along with a bedroom that enjoys the benefit of a modern 3pc bathroom. Externally, the rear garden is particularly attractive, with well-stocked planting areas and lawns providing a pleasant setting. A stone-stepped pathway rises through the garden to a raised decked terrace at the top, perfectly positioned to enjoy the elevated outlook and an ideal spot for al fresco dining and long summer evenings. Viewing is highly recommended in order to fully appreciate the character, flexibility and charm that this wonderful home has to offer. Council Tax Band: F I Freehold I EPC: TBC (Grade II Listed)
