A hilltop home with panoramic views across North York Moors has hit the market for £720,000.
Far Shirby cottage, in the conservation village of Upleatham, is setting itself apart with a sprawling landscaped garden featuring a Japanese-inspired retreat, ornamental waterfall and an orchard.
The detached bungalow overlooks the Cleveland Hills towards the North York Moors National Park, but it is the extensive outdoor space surrounding the property that proves to be one of its most striking features.

Mature trees, colourful planting and a network of pathways wind through the grounds, which are said to attract wildlife including deer, hares, pheasants and a variety of bird species.
A timber summerhouse overlooks a stocked pond - while a greenhouse, potting shed and several garden buildings offer more space for keen gardeners.
The grounds are also equipped with an automated irrigation system designed to help keep the gardens in top condition.
The most striking feature on the property is the Japanese-themed ornamental garden - complete with a pond, orchard and statues.
