Linden House is a commanding Grade II listed Georgian detached home in the heart of Temple Sowerby. The property retains strong period character — high ceilings, large reception rooms and original stonework — arranged over generous rooms that suit family living and entertaining. The full-length country kitchen with exposed beams and the front living room with a multifuel stove create a warm, authentic heart to the house.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms and a very large bathroom, plus a full-height basement with four separate rooms and natural light. The basement offers substantial storage and clear scope for conversion subject to listed‑building consent and building regulations. Outside, a large gravel driveway provides off‑street parking for several vehicles and a two-storey detached barn offers further potential for conversion, or could be removed to extend the garden (both subject to planning and listed‑building constraints).
Practical details are straightforward: oil-fired central heating with some electric heaters, mains services and fast broadband/strong mobile signal. Key considerations include the Grade II listing, which will limit permitted changes and add consent requirements, an expensive council tax band, and a single principal bathroom for five bedrooms. The property is offered with no onward chain and sits in a popular, well-connected village with easy access to local amenities and transport links — ideal for families seeking rural character with commuter practicality.
This home will suit buyers who value historic fabric and generous room proportions and are prepared for listed‑building responsibilities and possible refurbishment to fully modernise services and layouts. For someone looking to create a distinctive, characterful family home in an affluent rural village, Linden House presents clear potential.
