Description

This four-bedroom detached stone barn conversion sits within a private gated development between Alwoodley and Harewood, in a semi-rural setting. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, a main living room, sun room, dining room and separate family room. The kitchen has an adjoining dining area, with a utility room and ground-floor WC completing the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, together with bathroom and shower-room facilities. The property is set within approximately six acres of land, including open grassland, mature woodland, a walled garden and a fruit orchard. The grounds also include garages and outbuildings, with a workshop and further space described as having potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents. A private access road leads to electric gates with an intercom. There is a front driveway and double garage, as well as a rear block-paved drive with additional parking and access to two outbuildings. The listing describes the house as having more than 3,300 square feet of internal accommodation, while the structured floor-area figure is 4,851 square feet. Mains water and electricity are stated, with private drainage. The sale is by private treaty, and vacant possession is advised on legal completion. CGI imagery has been used to illustrate furniture arrangements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Highwood’s appeal is its setting and scale: a stone-built barn conversion with six acres, mature grounds, an orchard and a range of outbuildings, within a small gated development. The photographed interiors look clean and serviceable, with generous reception space and a relatively current shower room; the timber kitchen is the clearest opportunity for a cosmetic update.

At £1,695,000, the asking price is about £349/sq ft, slightly above the local average of £340/sq ft, so value is the main constraint on an otherwise distinctive, well-maintained property. The overall WHOTS score is 56/100, grade D: a lighter-touch project with strong lifestyle features, but limited price headroom at this level.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the intact but dated timber kitchen to bring it closer to the style of the other photographed interiors.
  • Make the most of the six-acre grounds, mature trees and fruit orchard as a distinctive rural setting.
  • Explore the potential uses of the garages and outbuildings, subject to the necessary consents and restrictions.

Key risks

  • The condition and usability of the outbuildings are not clear from the available images.
