This impressive Grade II listed country house is set amidst approximately 20 acres of its own gardens and parkland, offering sweeping views towards Penhill and the surrounding countryside. With a substantial main residence spanning 8,829 square feet, the property presents an opportunity for both renovation and investment, particularly with its partially converted outbuildings that provide an additional 3,888 square feet of potential living space.
The main house has a well-considered layout that harmonizes formal and relaxed areas, making it suitable for both family life and entertaining. The architecture reflects its late 18th-century origins, featuring original elements like cast-iron fireplaces and ornate cornicing alongside modern updates that enhance the overall living experience. The ground floor includes a grand reception hall leading to various reception rooms, including a spacious drawing room with large sash windows that allow natural light to flood in. An adjacent morning room boasts a grand bay window and French doors that open directly into the gardens.
The kitchen is fitted with bespoke farmhouse-style units and offers ample space for appliances, while the adjoining breakfast room features a cozy cast iron open range. Further back in the property is an orangery with full-length windows and flagstone flooring—ideal for gatherings or as a serene retreat. A flexible sitting room on this level can serve as a home office or additional living space.
On the first floor, there are eight generously sized bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite bathroom and dressing area. Several bedrooms also feature en suite facilities or Jack-and-Jill arrangements to shared bathrooms finished in classic styles.
The extensive cellar adds further utility to the property, providing storage space or potential for conversion into additional living areas.
Outside, the grounds are bordered by mature trees and boast various outdoor features such as courtyards and terraced gardens. The electrically operated entrance gates lead to a sweeping driveway and ample parking arrangements near a four-car garage with storage above. There’s significant potential here for landscaping improvements or even agricultural pursuits within this expansive area.
Notably, planning permissions are in place for solar panels to enhance energy efficiencies as well as for converting existing structures like the conservatory into an indoor swimming pool—an appealing addition that could significantly raise the property's value.
The property's location in Redmire offers easy access to beautiful walking trails within Yorkshire Dales National Park while being close enough to nearby Leyburn for essential amenities like schools, shops, and medical services. Proximity to major roadways allows straightforward travel to larger towns such as Richmond or even direct connections via rail
