Hovingham — Hovingham

Marrs Beck House originally served as the stationmaster’s residence for the Thirsk–Malton railway, which opened in 1853. Later renamed Hovingham Spa Station in a bid to attract additional visitors, the line operated until 1964, after which the property was taken on by the village doctor, who ran his practice from the adjacent buildings until the early 2000s. While the character of the original brick house remains evident, the property has been significantly extended and redesigned to create the generous family home seen today, with all principal living spaces offering notably well-proportioned rooms and an abundance of natural light. However, there is scope to further improve and add a personal stamp to the property. On the first floor there are five good-sized bedrooms, each enjoying attractive views over the gardens and open countryside, together with a spacious family bathroom with separate shower. Occupying a position on the northern edge of this picturesque and well-served estate village, the house is approached via a gated, gravelled driveway that sweeps past a large front lawn and leads to a separate block of three garages with an additional wood store. The gardens continue around to the rear, where an ornamental pond and raised terrace provide an ideal setting from which to appreciate the far-reaching rural outlook.
