Summary - Danby House, Middleham DL8 4QH
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large period home with extensive gardens and renovation potential, sold chain-free.
Handsome Georgian stone detached house with classic facade
Danby House is a handsome, stone-built Georgian detached home set on the edge of Middleham with very large, mature gardens and outbuildings. The house’s size and classical proportions give scope for a comfortable family layout across three floors plus a cellar, with multiple reception rooms and five bedrooms.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout — expected works include updating services, modernising the kitchen and bathrooms, and improving insulation (stone walls assumed uninsulated). Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average, typical of a remoter village location.
For buyers seeking renovation potential, the extensive grounds and outbuildings offer scope for ancillary conversion, landscaping or hobby farming (subject to permissions). The sale is chain-free, which may simplify a prompt purchase. The property sits in an affluent, very low-crime rural area with good local primary and secondary schools nearby.
This is well suited to families wanting a substantial period home to personalise, or investors/householders looking to refurbish and add value. Be realistic about the time, cost and planning needed to update services and make the house energy-efficient for modern living.
