Rural home for sale near Harrogate with holiday lets and scope for multi-generational living

The property is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but one of its major selling points is its proximity to Harrogate, which is just six miles away.

Carter Jonas adds: “Cold Cotes combines the advantage of a peaceful semi-rural setting with ease of accessibility to the surrounding towns of Harrogate, Otley, Ilkley, Ripon and Skipton, all offering a wide range of facilities and excellent schools.

“The business centre of Leeds is less than 20 miles away and Leeds/Bradford International Airport is approximately 13 miles away.”

The smallholding includes the six-bedroom, fully modernised main house and the two- bedroom annexe which is accessed via a separate entrance and can be easily incorporated back into the principal home, if required.

The farmhouse sits in an acre of landscaped gardens and the barn conversion is used as luxury holiday accommodation but could accommodate a range of lifestyle businesses.

It has three en-suite bedrooms, three large interconnecting communal areas, a professional kitchen, two cloakrooms, a large courtyard and parking.

The large, modernised bungalow has been converted into two large suites with separate entrances, en-suite bathrooms, separate sitting rooms, private gardens and parking. This property also generates an income as holiday accommodation.

Along with the five acres of land, including formal gardens and paddock land, there is also a stable block and large car park.

Sue Bailey, 60, and her husband, Mark Dyson, 62, bought the six-bedroom farmhouse after selling their home on the Wirral.

“We are in the middle of a beauty spot but we found that everything was really close,” says Sue. “Leeds Bradford airport is 23 minutes away, and there are four flights per day to Palma de Mallorca.

“Trains go from Harrogate to Leeds and take half an hour, while Manchester is two hours away.”

The asking price f £1.9m and the couple are selling due to retirement and are planning to spend time travelling. Alex Booth, Associate at Carter Jonas Harrogate office, says: “Cold Cotes is absolutely fantastic as a flexible property satisfying varying buyer requirements from having a large spacious home with guest accommodation and a converted barn that could be used as a leisure space to a property that can give a new owner an income from a wide variety of different business options.

“It could also be ideal for a family that has elderly relatives who want to have some independence while being close to loved ones.”

He adds: “There are ready made opportunities at Cold Cotes for multigenerational living whilst also still being able to earn a great income.

It is also in a very pretty area with green fields all around yet only around a ten minute drive into town.”
