3 bedroom house

NEW INSTRUCTION. This superb Grade II listed country home enjoys a delightful setting overlooking Thruscross Reservoir and the Washburndale Valley revealing characterful accommodation with delightful grounds and enclosed paddocks; in all circa 2.7 acres.



Windleside is a charming period property with characterful family accommodation created from a traditional Dales farmstead and barn being Grade II listed and believed to originate from the early 17th Century.

Some 25 years ago the property was the subject of a sympathetic programme of renovation and more recently it has been further remodelled now providing characterful interiors in a delightful rural setting with far reaching views and ease of access via the A59 to major commercial centres.

The accommodation is well balanced and versatile and offers modern creature comforts including, oil fired heating and double glazing along with many delightful period features including exposed stone mullions, beams and trusses, and even the original barn entrance has been preserved - albeit now glazed and providing access to the property's southerly facing gardens from Windleside's principal galleried reception room.

A reception hall/snug leads to an impressive dining room with a handsome stone fireplace and cast iron stove, this in turn leads to a well-appointed family breakfast kitchen with high quality contemporary fittings and garden aspects.

A light and spacious sitting room (over 30ft in width) is an ideal place for entertaining and has the additional benefit of a neighbouring study and guest cloakroom but the focal point of this living zone is the magnificent gallery landing/study, this also provides occasional bedroom use in addition to which there are three family bedrooms, one with ensuite, a house bathroom and a further shower room/WC.

Windleside is approached via a private gateway leading to gravel car parking and turning areas with direct access to a triple garage block divided into three bays with useful loft storage accessed by retractable loft ladder.

Ornamental walled gardens to the south of the property comprise lawns with ornamental borders as well as a stone paved terrace with an additional raised seating area to the west of the property with delightful panoramic views towards moors and Thruscross Reservoir. A further paddock has been screened with clever tree planting and the overall site area extends to 2.7 acres or there abouts.

This is the perfect opportunity for the buyer seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing access to West and North Yorkshire’s major commercial centres with Harrogate and Skipton equidistant on opposite directions on the A59 with the conurbation of Leeds/Bradford to the south.



Follow the A59 from Harrogate to Blubberhouses and turn right, past Mackenzie’s Smokehouse, proceeding past the Stonehouse Inn and turn left onto Thruscross Lane then bear to the left at the fork in the track.
