5 Bedroom Detached Farm House, Summerbridge, Harrogate, HG3

We are absolutely delighted to bring to market ‘The Old Farmhouse’ - a truly exceptional Grade II listed period residence, exuding timeless charm with its splendid stone elevations and elegant presentation. Thoughtfully modernised to seamlessly blend contemporary comforts with historic character, this magnificent home boasts exposed timber beams, original fireplaces, and beautiful flagstone flooring, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout, nestled down a private drive with a small community of just six period homes located within a short drive of a range of amenities.

At the heart of the home is the breathtaking 30ft L-shaped sitting room, a space of grand proportions yet intimate ambiance. With rich wooden flooring and classic panelled walls, the room is arranged into two distinct seating areas—one forming a cosy snug around an impressive fireplace fitted with a log burner. Flowing effortlessly from this space is the stunning bespoke garden room, designed by Vale Garden Houses. Flooded with natural light through its glass roof and panoramic windows, it offers spectacular south-facing views across the front garden, paddock, and rolling countryside beyond.

The generous formal dining room is perfect for entertaining, with ample space for a large family dining table. Traditional flagstone flooring, oak panelling, and a charming seating area in front of the fireplace with a log burner enhance its character. The adjoining country-style kitchen is both tasteful and functional, featuring bespoke forest-green cabinetry, Quartz worktops, a central island, and an Aga. A stable door leads to a practical boot room and onto the rear garden and terrace. Completing the kitchen area is a well-appointed utility room with additional storage, appliance space, and a WC. A vaulted cellar, accessed via the kitchen, offers the perfect setting for a wine cellar, while a separate study with a bespoke fitted bookcase provides a quiet workspace.

Ascending to the first floor, the substantial principal bedroom is a sanctuary of elegance, with exposed timber eaves, fitted wardrobes, and an en suite bathroom boasting a freestanding claw-foot roll-top bath and a separate walk-in shower enclosure. Four further beautifully presented bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room ideal for guests, offer comfort and charm. A traditional family bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower enclosure completes the first floor.

Nestled at the end of a picturesque half-mile track, The Old Farmhouse is surrounded by stunning countryside. A private gated entrance opens to a generous gravel driveway, providing ample parking and leading to a detached double garage with a separate garden store. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the wooden stable block, complete with two stables, a hay barn, and a tack room, situated adjacent to one of the paddocks with access to a charming woodland area. A second paddock lies across the driveway, offering excellent grazing for horses or livestock.

The south-facing front garden is a delightful walled sanctuary, featuring a manicured lawn, a welcoming pathway to the entrance, and vibrant borders bursting with seasonal perennials. The beautifully landscaped rear garden is a haven for outdoor enjoyment, with a raised paved terrace, a sheltered entertaining space with a firepit, and meticulously designed flower beds filled with mature shrubs. Framed by hedgerows and trees, this idyllic setting ensures both privacy and tranquility. There is even an amazing Grade I listed well dating back to the 1500’s.

A rare opportunity to own a home of such character, elegance, and countryside seclusion, The Old Farmhouse is a perfect retreat for those seeking refined country living.
