Built in stone beneath a slated roof, the property occupies elevated ground with south-easterly views across open countryside.
The house has been carefully refurbished in collaboration with interior designer Stephen Nealls and Woods of Harrogate Furnishings, combining nineteenth-century architectural features with contemporary interiors. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a study, a kitchen and dining area, scullery, laundry, and principal and guest bedroom suites, alongside a recently constructed annexe with gym, sauna, and utility space.
Set within approximately one acre of landscaped gardens, the property also offers a detached garage, summer house, orchard, kitchen garden, and meadow, providing a private setting within walking distance of the village inn and local amenities.
