(A note from the owner)
Since its construction in 1920, Summerlees has only had 3 owners, the farmer’s daughter it was built for, an elderly couple, and us- we have lived here for 30 years and loved it. “Summerlees” is a unique house, well designed and built to last. It had the first plumbed-in bath in Thormanby and all the village children would come on Saturday evenings for their baths!
Thormanby is an ancient viking village just north of York with properties ranging from hundreds of years old to some newly built, the residents are an ideal mix of people of all ages and from all walks of life- working from home, commuting, retired or self-employed, ( B&Bs and rentals do well here)
There is a strong community spirit, from our first day here we were welcomed. There is no anti social behaviour and we all use the village App for organising get togethers, offering/asking for help etc. Yes at certain times, on weekdays, the road can make its presence felt but it has never impacted our peaceful lives and has always been an asset for accessing all this area has to offer be it work or leisure.
Properties in Thormanby rarely come up for sale, there are many families who have been here for generations. For our future we need a property with fields/woodland for me to give painting lessons, if we could buy some adjoining land we wouldn’t be selling this unique, generous and much-loved house.
Step into a world where Edwardian charm seamlessly blends with contemporary luxury at Summerlees, an impressive property that has been cherished by the same owners for over 25 years. This beautifully styled home exudes character, featuring original doors, high ceilings, cornicing, and large, light-filled rooms that create a tranquil atmosphere.
Any lucky buyer simply needs to move their furniture in and call it home!
Step into the entrance vestibule leading to a welcoming hallway with tiled flooring.

The versatile second reception room can serve as a snug, playroom, or separate dining room, featuring French doors to the garden and a charming Esse Dragon multi-fuel stove.
The dining kitchen, newly fitted in 2020 by York Vale Kitchens, is a superb space for family gatherings or entertaining.

The central island and breakfast bar are ideal for quick bites or socialising with a glass of pinot. The dining area accommodates a large farmhouse table and chairs, with doors leading to both the garage and the garden.
