Description
This four-bedroom detached stone house occupies a rural position near Thornthwaite, around 11.6 miles west of Harrogate. The property sits within the Nidderdale National Landscape and includes approximately one acre of garden and paddock, along with traditional stone outbuildings. Access is via a track across open moorland.
The main house has generous accommodation, a stone and blue slate roof, uPVC double-glazed windows and an indoor swimming pool. Its existing rooms and period features provide a starting point for a programme of renovation and modernisation.
A substantial adjoining stone barn has planning permission for conversion to additional accommodation for the main house, and some work has already been carried out to form further rooms. The barn shares the house utilities and has a mix of uPVC double glazing and single-glazed windows. The property is within reach of Harrogate, Ripon, York and Leeds, with local amenities in nearby villages.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
A substantial stone-built home in a peaceful Nidderdale setting, with around an acre of garden and paddock, traditional outbuildings and a barn with stated planning permission for conversion. The main-house rooms shown are usable but dated, while the barn and empty, visibly dirty indoor pool offer scope for a distinctive medium-scale renovation and improvement project.
At £650,000, the asking price is about £202 per sq ft, well below the local average of £352 per sq ft—an appealing basis on which to acquire a character property with generous space and grounds. Roof coverings show weathering, so their condition should be checked as part of assessing the work involved.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated but usable main-house interiors, including the older-style kitchen, to create a more cohesive characterful home.
- Explore the barn conversion: the listing states that planning permission is in place, so verify the consent and remaining work.
- Reimagine the indoor pool and its space after inspecting the pool structure and plant; the grounds and paddock add to the property's rural appeal.
Key risks
- Roof coverings show visible weathering; have their condition and performance checked.
- The barn, pool area and dated interiors make this a multi-part renovation programme, so scope and sequencing will need careful planning.
