Manor Farm House is a substantial, newly renovated Georgian-style farmhouse in the heart of Arkendale village, combining generous period rooms with contemporary fittings. The heart of the home is a dramatic L-shaped open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a gas-fired Aga, central island, solid oak floors and bi-fold doors that flood the space with light. Multiple reception rooms — including a vaulted former-barn sitting room with exposed brick and beams — give flexibility for formal entertaining, play and home working.
The first floor offers four double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal suite includes wooden panelling and a walk-in dressing room with plumbing already installed for an en suite shower, while a second bedroom benefits from a modern en suite with underfloor heating. The large family bathroom also has underfloor heating and a freestanding roll-top bath.
Outside, the property sits on a very large, west-facing plot with a flagged patio, gravel terraces, about 100ft of level lawn and high hedged boundaries for privacy. A private gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached double garage, with additional secondary vehicular access.
Positioned opposite St. Bartholomew’s church, the house will appeal to families seeking village life close to Knaresborough (around four miles) while enjoying good road links to the A1(M). Note practical details: broadband speeds are average and council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall this is a large, characterful family home with modern comforts and excellent entertaining space.
