A wide range of schooling options are available in the surrounding villages and towns, including the highly regarded Ripon Grammar School, for which the property falls within the catchment area. For the commuter, access to Junction 48 of the A1(M) is about 4½ miles to the east and provides easy access to the commercial centres to the north and south.

Occaney Grange is a very attractive detached property which is believed to have origins dating back to the late 19th Century. Over the last 50 years the property has been substantially altered, extended and improved to create a first class family house in every respect.

The well planned accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a spacious reception hall, cloakroom, sitting room, dining room, garden room, a superb dining kitchen, family room (currently used as a study/home office) and a utility/laundry room. Also on the ground floor is a guest bedroom with an adjacent bathroom – this area could easily be adapted to create a self contained annexe/granny flat by incorporating the first floor room above the gated entrance into a sitting room/study. On the first floor is a galleried landing, principal bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom together with three additional double bedrooms and a house shower room.

The gardens and grounds create a special feature of this lovely family house. Lying principally to the rear, they enjoy a choice south west facing orientation and afford considerable privacy. Adjoining the house itself is a large flagged and gravelled terrace with steps leading down to an extensive lawned area, providing a superb playing area for children. Beyond there is an area of woodland, rose garden, vegetable garden, a small orchard with fruit trees and a paddock. The gardens and grounds have been carefully cultivated over the years and feature a wealth of mature plants, shrubs and trees.The property is approached off Copgrove Lane, with electrically operated entrance gates leading to a large gravelled courtyard, providing extensive secure parking together with a double garage. To the side of the house there is a further gated access which provides a useful secondary access, leading to the garden and being ideal for garden machinery.
