Set in a highly desirable hamlet within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this substantial stone house occupies approximately one acre of mature grounds, including woodland and a 0.3-acre paddock with a timber stable. Extending to around 3,500 sqft, the five-bedroom home offers flexible, multi‑storey accommodation and generous formal gardens, lawns and parking — a rare opportunity for space and privacy in an affluent rural setting.
The property retains period character and impressive specimen trees from its historic arboretum, giving scope for a striking family home or an equestrian‑focused retreat. The plot also provides potential for outbuildings or garaging (subject to planning), plus extensive outdoor activity and entertaining areas framed by countryside views.
Important practical points: the house requires full modernisation. It currently has secondary glazing, oil‑fired heating, and walls likely lacking insulation. These factors, together with a higher council tax band and rural utility limits (average mobile signal), mean refurbishment costs should be factored into any purchase.
For buyers seeking a sizeable Dales property with privacy, character and scope to redesign, this is a blank canvas offering significant long‑term value. It will particularly suit families wanting generous grounds or buyers looking to create a bespoke countryside home, but it is not a move‑in ready option.
