Stone Beds is a sizeable period farmhouse set in an elevated position with sweeping Nidderdale views on all sides. The house offers abundant reception space—three reception rooms plus an office—alongside a breakfast kitchen, two bathrooms and a very large lower-ground floor with direct garden and garage access. Recent upgrades include triple-glazed windows, and the property sits with a gated drive, double garage and a two-acre paddock adjoining the garden.
The house will suit a family seeking space, privacy and rural outlooks while remaining within easy reach of Darley village amenities and Harrogate. The footprint and layout create immediate liveable accommodation with clear potential to reconfigure or modernise internal areas to personal taste. The lower-ground level offers excellent scope for conversion to additional living or hobby spaces subject to planning and building works.
Notable practical points: the property needs renovation in places, has an EPC rating of D and solid stone walls that likely lack cavity insulation. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is in band G, so running costs should be factored in. Overall this is a substantial, characterful home on a large plot, offering long-term potential for a buyer prepared to invest in improvements.
