IF an Englishman’s home is his castle there’s no arguing with this one - it’s even got a turret.

This fantastic folly doubles up as foyer at ground level and shower room on the first floor. But that’s not the only thing to impress in this Haxby family home. For one thing, just look at those views over St Mary’s Church.

Then there is the location on a highly desirable courtyard development off North Lane, close to local schools and local amenities.

If that’s not enough for you, Birch Tree Court comes with no onward chain, thus avoiding all that stress when you’ve decided this is the place for you.

The three bedroom detached home comprises an entrance hall with under stairs cupboard and cloakroom, large living room with feature fireplace and sliding doors to front garden.

The dining room leads to the fitted kitchen with its range of matching wall and base units.

Appliances include an electric oven and hob with extractor hood over, not to mention a recently fitted gas combi boiler.

There’s also a pantry store, something that is seeing a revival of late. However did we think we could do without them?

To the first floor is a spacious landing leading to three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, fully tiled shower room with extractor fan.

The house bathroom comprises bath with mixer taps, wash hand basin with vanity unit and a shaver point.

Externally, to the front, is a driveway leading to an attached garage. There is also an enclosed low maintenance AstroTurf garden with paved patio seating area, walled surround and planted shrubs.

In the middle ages, Haxby was in the royal Forest of Galtres. Its inhabitants were subject to forest law and took part in the occasional courts that devised and enforced it.

Who knows, if that ever comes back, you could offer up your newly acquired tower as a place to hold them.
