Summary - The Lodge, Swindon Lane, Kirkby Overblow HG3 1HH
6 bed 4 bath House
Spacious family estate with private grounds and tennis court, ideal for countryside living.
Panoramic southerly views over Lower Wharfedale
Set in the heart of Kirkby Overblow, this early-Victorian house (c.1835) occupies just over two acres with exceptional southerly views across Lower Wharfedale. The grounds include tiered formal gardens, a lily pond, a paddock and an all‑En‑Tout‑Cas tennis court, offering substantial private outdoor space for family life and entertaining.
The Lodge provides adaptable family accommodation over three main floors plus lower‑ground rooms, totalling about 3,600 sq ft: six double bedrooms, four reception rooms (including a library and a study), and four bath/shower rooms. Wide south‑facing bay windows, high ceilings and large rooms reflect the property's Georgian proportions. Recent works include re‑roofing, a new boiler and bespoke sealed unit double glazing.
Practical notes: the house is freehold with mains services, oil‑fired central heating and an EPC rating E. The property is semi‑detached with the neighbouring dwelling in separate ownership and there is no current prospect of buying that land. Council tax is Band G, broadband speeds are average and the building’s stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect running costs and future upgrade work.
This home will suit a growing family seeking a substantial period house in an exclusive village setting, or buyers wanting a characterful property with scope to modernise and personalise. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, southerly aspect and extent of the grounds.
