Roll the clock forward to the present day and the property has been sympathetically converted into a striking and substantial family house you'd be pleased to come home to, with a modern, free-flowing layout perfectly suited to both entertaining and working from home.
As selling agent Ed Stoyle says: "I was immediately struck by the scale and individuality of The Court House.
"This is a unique property, ideal for those seeking something a little out of the ordinary."
Step inside the front door and you're welcomed into a grand reception hall that offers a wonderful sense of arrival.

Filled with natural light, it effortlessly provides access to the principal ground floor rooms.
Double doors open from the hall into a stylish walkway which leads into the impressive kitchen, beautifully appointed and home to an oversized island that doubles as both a work surface - with hob and extractor above - and a breakfast bar, sleek granite work surfaces and a full complement of integrated appliances within bespoke full-height cabinetry.

The kitchen connects seamlessly to the main reception rooms, including the stunning sitting room featuring a double-height galleried ceiling, full-height glazing and an integrated log burner which creates a dramatic, yet welcoming, focal point.
Adjacent to the sitting room lie a dedicated study, a cloakroom and a useful storeroom.
Also adjoining the kitchen in a partially open-plan manner is a delightful garden room with wooden flooring, large floor-to-ceiling windows, a roof light and bi-fold doors that open onto a sun-drenched terrace, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living and a wonderful light-filled space to relax in.
Completing the ground floor - which has underfloor heating throughout - are a well-equipped utility room, a dining room with three windows offering views over the gardens, a stylish family bathroom and a ground floor bedroom with en-suite that would be ideal for guests or even for dependent relatives.

Upstairs are three generous bedroom suites, each designed to provide privacy and comfort.
One of these enjoys the benefit of a private balcony ideal for alfresco breakfasting, another is a versatile space perfect for children or guests, and then there's the principal suite featuring a glazed wall overlooking the sitting room and gardens beyond plus a luxurious en-suite bathroom.
From here a walkway leads to a superb corner roof terrace with far-reaching views.
Externally, the property is complemented by an oversized garage with an electric door and EV charging point, plus a bright and versatile studio offering potential for a range of uses.
The gardens encircle the house with neat lawns, mature trees and established hedging, providing both privacy and a sense of serenity.
The Court House lies in the heart of Easingwold, some ten miles from Thirsk and 14 miles from York city centre.
It is on the market at a guide price of £1.295m and is available chain free.
