Beck House is a substantial five-bedroom detached home set on a very large plot in sought-after Nidderdale, offering flexible living across generous rooms and reception spaces. The house combines traditional stone character with contemporary touches — a modern open-plan kitchen with island and quartz worktops, a dining room with roof lantern and bi-folds to the patio, plus a lounge with a wood-burning stove. Outside there are well-stocked gardens, multiple seating areas and a two-acre paddock (across the road) ideal for ponies or exercising dogs. A gated, gravelled driveway provides ample parking and garage access.
The layout suits a family needing separate work, play and sleeping zones: ground-floor study/home office, large playroom, utility/boot room and three bath/shower rooms including a master en suite with walk-in dressing room. The property benefits from double glazing and fast broadband in an affluent, low-crime rural location with a free school bus for Harrogate Grammar and several strong local schools.
Notable practical points: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators (not on a community supply), the stone walls are original and assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, and the house dates from before 1900 so upkeep and periodic maintenance should be expected. Flood risk is medium and council tax is described as quite expensive. These are important factors for budgeting running costs and any planned improvements.
Overall this home will suit families who prioritise space, privacy and rural lifestyle with easy access to Harrogate. It offers immediate comfortable living with scope to upgrade energy performance and reduce running costs over time.
