An exceptional village home offering elegant living, state-of-the-art design and superb entertaining spaces
Description
Originally dating from 1840 and once a village pub, this former farmhouse has been the subject of a remarkable transformation. Extensively reimagined by the present owners, the property now offers a unique blend of period character and contemporary design, with state-of-the-art technology and thoughtfully curated interiors.
Set within approximately one acre, the house combines exceptional entertaining spaces with elegant day-to-day living. Smart lighting, a Sonos sound system, underfloor heating to several rooms and a dedicated cinema with surround sound all contribute to a home designed with both comfort and lifestyle in mind.
The ground floor accommodation flows beautifully around a central dining snug, creating a natural connection to the showpiece kitchen. This light-filled open plan space features a striking breakfast island beneath a bank of roof lights, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and bespoke cabinetry with underlighting. A discreet 'secret' door opens to the gym, while twin sets of glazed doors lead seamlessly onto the south-facing terrace and gardens beyond.
The sitting room is both welcoming and refined, centred around a fireplace with concealed television, and leads to a versatile study/studio and family room, the latter complete with a cast iron range and bay window seating. A further highlight is the bespoke cinema room with reclining seats and full surround sound system, complemented by a games room. Practicalities are well catered for with a fitted laundry, generous boot room with loft access, walk-in larder, guest cloakroom and two cellar rooms.
A graceful staircase rises to the first floor where there are five bedrooms. The principal suite is a dramatic space with vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite with underfloor heating. Bedrooms two and three share a stylish family bathroom, while the remaining rooms are served by a shower room with loft storage above. From the landing, double doors open onto a private roof terrace - the perfect retreat for stargazing.
Throughout the house, great attention has been paid to detail. Wall panelling, timber flooring, column radiators, exposed beams and brickwork sit harmoniously alongside contemporary tiling and designer lighting.
Externally, the property is equally impressive. The landscaped gardens are designed for year-round enjoyment, with a large terrace and hot tub, structured lawns with water feature, pergola walkway, and a second terrace ideal for al fresco dining with bar and barbecue space. Electric gates open to a gravel driveway leading to an integrated garage, discreetly screened from view. A planning application has been submitted for a loft conversion, offering further potential.
Location
Great Ouseburn is a highly desirable village, ideal for commuters, centrally located between Harrogate (twelve miles) and York (ten miles), with Cattal rail station (four and a half miles) providing links to Harrogate, Leeds and York, with some onward journeys reaching London Kings Cross in under two hours.
There is good access to the A59 which in turn leads to the A1(M), six and a half miles away. Leeds Bradford Airport is twenty five miles distant, serving a number of national and European destinations.
The village offers a post office/general store, village hall, church and fantastic primary school.
The independent school of Queen Ethelburga’s College is close by (two miles) and Cundall Manor (ten miles), with further private options in Ripon, Harrogate and York.
To the north is the market town of Boroughbridge (five miles) offering a range of facilities and amenities, including supermarket, secondary school (Ofsted Good 2017), gp surgery, vets, boutique shops, public houses and restaurants.
Please note all distances are approximate.
