5 bedroom house

Once a former farmhouse, Paddock House was bought in 1920 by a local architect and converted into a Manor House - adding the Stirling Castle chimney pots and balustrades around the terrace.

This striking detached and unique family home, having been the subject of a full programme of renovations has been finished to the highest possible standard with no stone left unturned and now forms arguably the finest example of country contemporary living and perfectly positioned with far reaching views over lower Wharfedale.

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

Upon entry is an impressive welcoming entrance hall, with wooden flooring throughout the majority downstairs. W/C, boot room with built in storage, utility room with belfast sink, washer and dryer and a cleverly designed mezzanine level - currently utilised as an office/reading room.
To the right of the hallway is a drawing room with real working fire and dual aspect windows. A set of French doors lead off the hall onto the large flagged terrace.

To the left of the entrance hall is an outstanding dual aspect kitchen/diner with large central island, double belfast sink, bespoke hand painted units, marble worktops, four door AGA, Miele single oven, wine fridge and a Fisher & Paykel larder fridge.

The kitchen flows seamlessly through double doors into an adjoining sitting room/playroom with a fantastic floor to ceiling picture window and roof lanterns. A bespoke handmade 'Christoper Phillips' ladder leads you to another home office/den. Off this space is a shower room and access to the front of the property.

To the first floor the generous Principal Suite offers a large double bedroom with breath taking views, fitted wardrobes and a stylish en suite bathroom with his and her sinks, bath and free standing shower. Two further double bedrooms with Jack and Jill shower room and another two bedrooms serviced by the stunning house bathroom, with both bath and shower and Christian Lacroix wallpaper. Underfloor heating in bathrooms.

This stunning home is approached via private electric gates and a crunch gravel driveway, with parking for several cars and single garage - now replaced, but was once the oldest dwelling in Sicklinghall - the original 'Knights Templar' can now be found on the outside of the new extension.

The grounds, extending to just over one acre are mainly laid to lawn with trees, planted boarders, box hedging, wildlife pond, Ha-ha and gym. The grounds also incorporate a large stable and tack room - part of the garden is sectioned off for equestrian use.

Paddock House has the most magnificent south facing terrace enclosed with stone balustrades - the perfect place to admire the view onto Carlston Hill. Security lights have been added all around the house and garden, feature lighting is on a timer to the front and rear of the property.
External access to the cellar/boiler room.

Paddock House is listed in the walkers ramblers books as it mentions the Stirling Castle chimney pots.
