A dream of escaping to the country led Phil Ineson to the pretty village of Sicklinghall. Although his search area was wide, the combination of facilities, excellent transport links and a project proved irresistible.

“I lived in Roundhay but wanted to live somewhere more rural and less busy,” says Phil. “Although I wanted to live in the country, my main stipulation was that I didn’t want to be in the middle of nowhere. Sicklinghall was perfect. It is beautiful, the people are really friendly and it has a great pub plus easy access to Wetherby, Leeds, York and Harrogate,” he says.

The farmhouse he bought there was in need of renovation and came with potential to convert the stables.

Over the last three years Phil has transformed the farmstead into a large and luxurious family home with an annexe No expense has been spared on the  7,573 sq. ft property, which includes a magnificent L-shaped living kitchen made by craftsmen from Clarity Arts.

“I spent a fortune on it thinking it would be a forever home and I am only selling because my circumstances have changed. When I bought it, the farmhouse had no heating although the stables did, which was strange. Everything needed doing from the roof to the electrics, plumbing and heating,” says Phil, who also employed Leeds-based interior designer Ben Huckerby to give the house a glamorous new look.
