Hartmires is a substantial five-bedroom detached country house set in approximately 1.8 acres of landscaped grounds, privately gated with a sweeping driveway and separate exit. The main house extends to about 4,565 sq ft and combines traditional stone-country character with high-quality contemporary finishes — hand-built kitchen, limestone floors, bespoke joinery and underfloor heating in key areas. A separate self-contained one-bedroom cottage adds flexibility for guests, extended family or as a home-office/studio.
The ground floor offers multiple reception rooms — bay-fronted drawing room, vaulted garden room and formal dining room — arranged for both family life and entertaining. Upstairs the principal suite includes a walk-in dressing room and Carrara marble bathroom; three further double bedrooms have en-suite or Jack-and-Jill facilities. The property is connected to mains services; heating is by an oil-fired boiler with radiators.
This home sits in an elevated, rural hamlet setting above Leathley with long uninterrupted views and easy access by car to Harrogate, Otley and local highly regarded schools. The setting includes meadow, stream and woodland pockets, delivering privacy and strong countryside appeal while remaining within reasonable commuting distance of regional centres.
Important practical points: the property uses oil heating (not a community system) which typically means higher fuel costs and periodic deliveries; council tax is very expensive; mobile signal is average despite fast broadband. The house was constructed in the 1950s–1960s era and, while finished to a high standard, long-term maintenance of a large house and mature grounds should be expected. These factors suit buyers seeking a private country estate rather than a low-maintenance urban home.
