A rare opportunity to acquire a charming three-bedroom stone-built country cottage, lovingly occupied by the same family for over 55 years. The property also benefits from a substantial barn and a separate stone-built double garage, all set within approximately 12.5 acres of private land in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside, close to the picturesque village of Beckwithshaw.
The property is approached via a long private driveway, with wooden gates opening into a spacious courtyard providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. The courtyard is framed by the cottage, a substantial barn building, and a detached stone-built double garage, all enclosed by traditional stone walling and fencing. To the rear of the house is a delightful enclosed lawned garden, offering a peaceful outdoor space from which to enjoy the surrounding rural setting.
The attached barn offers excellent development potential, subject to the necessary planning consents. It currently provides approximately 26'0" x 14'3" of floor space and could potentially accommodate two floors, creating up to 720 sq ft of additional living space. There is also a detached garage measuring 19'3" x 18'0", featuring double opening doors as well as electric light and power.
A public footpath runs from Shaw Lane across part of the land towards Otley Road, providing access through the surrounding countryside.
Internally, the ground floor comprises a fitted kitchen with direct access to the garden, a shower room, a bright and welcoming lounge with a feature fireplace, and a separate dining room with external access and useful understairs storage.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms.
Surrounded by open countryside and generous grounds, this unique property presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy rural living while remaining within easy reach of nearby villages and the amenities of Harrogate.
