About this property
Detached farm house
Village location close to Harrogate
4-5 Reception rooms, 6 Bedrooms, 7 Bathrooms
19 acres
Outdoor pool and leisure facilities
South facing landscaped gardens with distant views
An exceptional Grade II listed country home, combining heritage, luxury and lifestyle, set in approx. 19 acres with landscaped gardens, leisure facilities and equestrian amenities, near Harrogate. Howe House Farm has undergone a comprehensive and carefully considered programme of refurbishment, resulting in a home of exceptional quality that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the inherent character of its period origins. Original features, including exposed beams and traditional detailing, have been thoughtfully retained and complemented by a refined, modern finish throughout.
Accommodation
The ground floor is arranged to create a natural flow between the principal living spaces, with the kitchen forming the true heart of the home. This impressive open-plan area is both stylish and highly functional, centred around a substantial Aga and complemented by bespoke hand-painted cabinetry, a large central island and generous space for dining and informal seating. From here, the sitting room and dining room lead off, each providing a warm and inviting setting, complete with wood-burning stoves and views across the gardens.
A striking contemporary glazed link joins the original house to the adjoining wing, creating a seamless connection. This architectural feature not only enhances the overall design but also allows for a high degree of flexibility, with the potential to create a self-contained annexe if required.
The bedroom accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with three bedrooms and bathrooms to each side of the house, providing a balanced and highly practical layout. In total, there are six well-proportioned double bedrooms, five of which benefit from en suite facilities, all finished to an excellent standard. The principal suite enjoys a particularly attractive outlook, with elevated views across the south-facing gardens and surrounding countryside, creating a peaceful and private retreat.
The house has been upgraded to provide excellent energy efficiency and insulation, with heating via a ground source heat pump. Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
Gardens and grounds
The property is set within approximately 19 acres of private grounds, offering a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection to the surrounding countryside.
The south-facing gardens are beautifully landscaped, with expansive lawns, established planting and a variety of terraces and seating areas designed to maximise the setting and views.
A standout feature is the outdoor heated swimming pool, hot tub, complemented by a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, creating an exceptional space for al fresco living. In addition, a small woodland area provides further interest and enhances the overall sense of seclusion.
Howe House Farm is exceptionally well equipped for equestrian use, offering a comprehensive range of facilities including stabling, a tack room, feed store, floodlit ménage and a selection of well-maintained, fenced paddocks. The layout is both practical and accessible, catering to a variety of equestrian requirements.
Location
Howe House Farm is ideally positioned on the edge of Harrogate, just beyond the sought-after village of Beckwithshaw, offering a desirable semi rural setting to the south west of the town.
Despite its peaceful and private surroundings, the property is conveniently located for access to Harrogate’s extensive amenities, including a renowned selection of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and schooling. The area is well connected, offering straightforward access to regional road networks and further afield. The surrounding countryside is particularly attractive, providing an abundance of walking, riding and outdoor pursuits directly from the doorstep.
The property is also well positioned for access to central Harrogate 3 miles, Leeds 16 miles, Bradford 14 miles, York 25 miles with further connections via the A1(M) Junction 47 (about 10 miles). The train station at Harrogate provides regular services to Leeds and York where mainline connections to London and Edinburgh are available.
