Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a five-bedroom stone-built detached country residence, set within approximately 8 acres of gardens, paddocks and grounds in one of High Harrogate’s oldest and most unspoilt settings. Built to the current owners’ exacting specification in 2014 and extending to around 4,000 sq ft, Bilton Wells combines spacious, light-filled accommodation with panoramic countryside views, stables, outbuildings and barns offering exciting further potential.
Offered for sale with no onward chain, the property is approached via a long private tarmac driveway, enjoying a peaceful rural setting within easy reach of Harrogate. A rear gate provides access to a lane leading into town. Inside, the welcoming entrance hall features high ceilings and a striking lantern above the landing, creating an immediate sense of space and light.
The ground floor offers flexible accommodation, including a double bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, French doors to the garden and an en suite shower room. A substantial 21'11 study with fireplace and French doors, a WC and plant room complete this area. The spacious lounge and separate playroom both open onto the gardens through French doors.
At the heart of the home, the impressive 28'11 kitchen/dining room features wooden flooring, extensive fitted units, a central island, integrated speakers controlled via a central hub and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden. A separate utility room adds practicality.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a private balcony overlooking the grounds and a luxurious en suite bathroom. A further double bedroom has an en suite shower room, while two additional double bedrooms are served by a modern house bathroom. Underfloor heating to both floors and CAT 6A data cabling to every room further enhance the specification.
The grounds extend to approximately 8 acres, incorporating formal gardens, fenced paddocks, vegetable gardens, mature fruit trees, flagged patios and entertaining areas. The garden’s orientation captures sunlight throughout the day, while stables, outbuildings and barns offer considerable versatility and potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents.
Subject to an overage clause which reserves the benefit to the Vendor of 20% of the uplift in value arising from any development other than agricultural or equestrian that takes place on the land. This clause does not apply to the house and buildings. The term of the overage will be 25 years from the date of sale.
