Rylstone Hall is a rare Grade II listed country residence set within about one-third of an acre in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The house combines Georgian proportions and high ceilings with modern comforts — an Everhot kitchen, garden room with lantern roof, and an en-suite bathroom that includes a private sauna. The gated entrance, long gravel drive and mature trees give strong privacy and an immediate sense of occasion.
Practical upgrades reduce immediate maintenance: the roof was replaced in 2024, and a new boiler and oil tank plus an upgraded heating system were fitted in 2022. The house is offered chain free and benefits from recently granted planning permission for a loft conversion to add a bedroom and bathroom, increasing flexibility and value (plans to follow).
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listing brings protections that may complicate alterations and increase costs; listed consent will be required for many changes. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The location is a peaceful hamlet setting with low crime and fast broadband, but mobile signal is only average and services are rural, so commuting or daily shops rely on nearby Skipton or Grassington.
This home suits buyers seeking a characterful, low-density country residence with scope to add accommodation and retain historic detail. Viewings are recommended for anyone wanting a distinctive, well-upgraded house within the Dales, where heritage and privacy are prime attractions.
