Outside
It is the situation and grounds of The Old Lodge, coupled with the quality of the main house and buildings which set it apart as one of the finest small Estates recently to be offered for sale close to York. The main entrance is off Malton Street, with a secondary entrance providing a private way in for the cottage occupant. So there is a double driveway which sweeps past a pond, down to the rear of the house, and in the middle of the two entrances stand the stabling and barns together with the cottage. 
The formal gardens lie mainly south and west of the house, with three separate orchard areas, a flagged terrace of generous proportions, lawns and, above all, magnificent mature trees including a splendid monkey puzzle, beech, oaks and horse chestnut. The tennis court (all-weather) lies to the south east.

The present owners have owned a number of race horses as well as point to point horses, and the land and buildings are superbly set up and equipped to accommodate their passion. The land is divided into a series of watered and railed paddocks interspersed by bluebell woods, ancient woodland as well as a stream-fed pond. Being set upon the rising ground at the edge of the Hambleton Hills the property enjoys spectacular views as well as a most gratifying undulation within its contours.
