A generously proportioned 5 bedroom detached farmhouse in 4 acres of wonderful Nidderdale countryside, comprehensively improved and extending to around 3800 sq. Offered with scope for personalisation, along with garaging and stables, just a short distance from excellent local facilities in Pateley Bridge.
Situation
Bishopside Farmhouse sits in the heart of Nidderdale, being a designated National Landscape (formerly AONB) but yet the country setting belies the convenience of being only a few minutes’ drive from an extensive range of facilities in the picturesque town of Pateley Bridge. The elevated position affords lovely views over the Dale and surrounding farmland, and the property sits well within its own holding. The cathedral city of Ripon and Spa town of Harrogate are 12 and 15 miles respectively.
Description
Over the last 2 years, the property has been the subject of significant improvement with the specific intention of creating a 21st century home within what is believed to be an early 18th century shell. As such the property has been modernised from the roof downwards including bespoke sealed unit double glazed windows, comprehensive timber replacement, complete rewiring with structured cabling and re-plumbing together with the installation of a ground source heating system and a new sewerage treatment plant. The internal layout has been reconfigured according to modern day living standards with the purchaser now having the opportunity to install kitchen and bathroom fitments, tiling and floor coverings according to personal choice and expense.
Accommodation
The generous living space extends to around 3600 sq ft, having a strong emphasis on being open plan and light, helped by all the rooms facing south-east. There is an immediate sense of arrival into a spacious dining hall with a feature staircase, and double-sided fireplace that opens to a fabulous large living kitchen area that is around 515 sq ft in its own right. Plumbing and electrical connections have already been strategically positioned for final fit out. There is a generously sized sitting room leading to the study/snug and then to the secondary kitchen area/utility having extensive plant equipment, plus a cloaks/shower room off.
All the bedrooms have enviable rural views over Nidderdale. A generous master suite on the western side is complimented by a guest suite at the eastern end with 3 bedrooms between (one with provision for an en-suite) plus a house bathroom. As with the kitchen fitout, the property is sold as seen with the purchaser having the opportunity to acquire and install sanitaryware and tiling, at their own expense post-acquisition.
Standing nicely in some 3.96 acres, there is an established garden, woodland and grassland together with stabling facilities (two loose boxes and tack room) plus a workshop/garage. There is also planning permission for a detached double garage positioned off the side driveway, and a new garden room to the front of the building.
Bishopside Farmhouse is a wonderful country house in an enviable setting in the heart of Nidderdale. With the major improvement works complete, together with appropriate certification, this is a unique opportunity for personalisation without the attendant delay and uncertainty often associated with significant projects of this nature.
