6 bedroom detached house for sale

An elegant country house with stunning character features.

Perfectly positioned with far reaching views across the
surrounding countryside in the heart of Kirkby Overblow.


This property is understood to date from 1806 and was originally five alms houses before being converted into a single residence.
The property has since been sympathetically and cleverly extended providing extensive accommodation over two floors, well-maintained private garden and off-road parking.

Situated within this highly coveted village on the south side of Harrogate. Within easy reach of local amenities, a highly regarded primary school within walking distance, village pub and excellent commuting links to the A61 and A1(M) at Wetherby.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a charming entrance hall leading into a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area. This beautifully designed space features a range of modern Shaker-style units, a classic Belfast sink, and an AGA, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A statement stone fireplace adds to the character of the room, making it a truly impressive space for both everyday living and entertaining.

The large yet cosy sitting room offers a solid fuel inglenook fireplace, providing the perfect setting for relaxation. Towards the rear of the property, a generous reception/games room boasts double-height ceilings and French doors, flooding the space with natural light and seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. A conveniently located shower room is positioned nearby, with the potential to incorporate a sauna.

Upstairs, the first floor offers six generously sized bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, a dedicated home office, and two beautifully finished bathrooms. A spiral staircase leads to the roof terrace, where you can enjoy breathtaking countryside views from a private outdoor seating area with outdoor fireplace.

Externally, the property benefits from private parking for several cars, dual driveways with additional parking, and a large single garage. The landscaped rear garden features a patio seating area, a built-in barbecue, and two storerooms, one of which is currently used as a utility room with plumbing, lighting, and power.

This unique and characterful home offers a perfect balance of elegance, comfort and practicality, making it an exceptional retreat in a picturesque setting.
