Mostam House is a substantial, well-presented barn conversion offering over 3,000 sq ft of flexible living on a very large, private plot in sought-after Great Ouseburn. Finished in 2014, the property mixes contemporary, high-spec interiors — a bespoke kitchen, multi-fuel stove and generous reception rooms — with countryside character and long views towards the Hambleton Hills. Secure electric gates, plentiful off-street parking and an oak-framed double garage add practical convenience for families and hobby drivers.
The house provides genuine family flexibility: five bedrooms (configurable as four/five), three en-suites, a large master suite with walk-in wardrobe, plus multiple reception rooms and utility spaces over two storeys. Environmental credentials include a biomass-fired central heating system (bulk wood pellets) and insulated cavity walls; running costs and maintenance on biomass should be considered by buyers unfamiliar with pellet systems. Council tax is in Band G and is relatively expensive.
Externally the plot is a standout feature: extensive lawns, a private putting green, paddock-like garden and attractive rural outlooks. The village delivers everyday convenience — shop/post office, primary school rated Good, a Michelin-listed pub and strong community life — while road and rail links make Harrogate, York and Leeds accessible for commuters.
Important practical notes: the property is offered chain-free and freehold. Mobile signal is average; broadband speeds are reported as fast. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance heating system or minimal running involvement should factor in the biomass boiler and pellet deliveries into ongoing costs and servicing schedules.
