Calf Crag House, Thornthwaite, Harrogate, HG3 2QY

For Sale by Private Treaty

An exciting opportunity to purchase a stone-built four-bedroom farmhouse with adjoining large stone barn with planning consent for conversion and the scope to create a substantial family home. Accompanied by a large garden, outbuilding and paddock in the heart of the Nidderdale National Landscape, this property  provides a buyer with a rare chance to put their own stamp on a traditional dales farmhouse. The property enjoys a secluded setting and panoramic views across the Nidderdale valley. 

Set within an attractive rural setting just outside the village of Thornthwaite, and surrounded by the beautiful Yorkshire  countryside, this substantial stone-built property offers an exciting opportunity to create a truly individual home. 

The property enjoys a peaceful position within the Nidderdale National Landscape, with approximately 1 acre of land comprising a mixture of gardens and paddock, together with a range of traditional stone outbuildings.

The main house is an extensive stone-built property, with a stone and blue slate roof and uPVC double glazed windows. Internally, the property offers generous floor space and a wealth of appealing features including an indoor swimming pool and well proportioned rooms providing an excellent foundation for those looking to create a characterful family home.

Adjoining the main house is a substantial stone-built barn, which has planning permission for conversion to form additional living accommodation for the main house, with works already undertaken to create a number of further rooms. Constructed in traditional stone, the barn benefits from a combination of uPVC double glazing and single glazed windows and shares the utilities of the main house. With its generous proportions and existing planning consent, the barn presents considerable potential to extend the main dwelling and create a substantial family property.

The grounds extend to approximately 1 acre and offer an attractive combination of established garden and paddock land. A traditional stone-built outbuilding, beneath a stone slate roof, provides useful additional storage and further complements the  property's rural character.

Access to the property is via a track which runs over open  moorland and affords the property privacy.

Whilst the house would benefit from renovation and  modernisation, the scale, character and setting of the property provide an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to transform the accommodation into a bespoke and highly individual home. The adjoining barn, with planning permission already in place for conversion to additional living accommodation, further enhances the property's considerable potential.  

Thornthwaite is a small rural village situated just 11 miles west of the spa town of Harrogate. The village itself benefits from a local primary school, and other nearby villages of Hampsthwaite, Darley and Summerbridge offer a range of day-to-day amenities.
