Spacious Victorian house with annexe, large garden and double garage in Follifoot.
Large period house of 4,949 sq ft on a substantial plot
Brooklands is a substantial Victorian stone house set in a large, mature plot in the sought-after village of Follifoot, just south of Harrogate. The main house offers bright, generously proportioned rooms across three floors — including a 35ft sitting room with twin bay windows, a 45ft open-plan kitchen into orangery with limestone tile floors and a family room with oak flooring and stove — providing flexible living for family life and entertaining.
The property comprises seven principal bedrooms plus a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, useful for a guest suite, elderly relative or income let. Practical details include underfloor heating to the kitchen/family/orangery, solar panels, a pantry, utility and boiler rooms, plentiful eaves storage and a double garage with gated courtyard parking.
Outside, established borders, mature trees and a large lawn create privacy and peaceful outdoor living; the paved terrace with outdoor kitchen and pizza oven extends the entertaining space. The village offers basic amenities, a primary school and nearby access to Harrogate, Knaresborough and the A1(M), making this a convenient rural-family location.
Important considerations: the property is large (4,949 sq ft) and will carry proportionately high running costs, including a very expensive council tax band. Broadband and mobile signal are average; any purchaser seeking high-speed connectivity should check providers. The home’s period character means maintenance and sympathetic renovation should be expected over time.
