Danby House is a Grade II listed detached home occupying a generous plot in the desirable village of Harthill. The property combines genuine period character — exposed stone walls, beams, sash windows and original flooring — with sympathetic modern upgrades including a contemporary family bathroom, en suite and Hive-controlled heating across the first two floors. High ceilings, two reception rooms and a large dining kitchen with granite surfaces and Range Master offer flexible family living across three floors.
The main house dates from circa 1560 with substantial 18th-century extension; this deep history gives the property charm but also means it is listed. Buyers should expect Listed Building restrictions that will affect repairs, alterations and maintenance. The stone walls are historic and assumed uninsulated, which may increase energy costs despite double glazing and recent boiler upgrades (third-floor system replaced about 12 months ago).
Outside, there’s a large cobbled driveway for several vehicles, a lawned front garden with wrought-iron railings, side undercover seating and rear outbuildings including a cellar and wood store. The village location delivers low crime, good broadband and excellent commuter links to the M1 and nearby stations, plus local schools rated Good by Ofsted — attractive for families seeking character in a semi-rural setting.
This is a distinctive, spacious period home with significant curb appeal and flexible accommodation. It will particularly suit buyers who value historic character and are comfortable working within the constraints of listed status and older construction (possible need for insulation and ongoing maintenance).
