A handsome farmhouse with wonderful views

Clapham Green Farm is an impressive detached stone farmhouse offering well-proportioned accommodation while retaining many original features throughout.

The property has been in the same family for five generations and this is the first time Clapham Green Farm has been available on the market in the last 100 years.

The property is situated in a beautiful countryside setting, enjoying easy access to the sought-after Spa town of Harrogate, with its excellent local amenities and services.

To the ground floor there is a wealth of flexible living accommodation, with exposed timber ceiling beams lending warmth and character. The 26ft sitting room, with an impressive stone fireplace, now houses a wood burning stove and the double aspect, stone mullion windows flood the room with natural light throughout the day. There is also a dining room with French doors opening onto the rear gardens. The country kitchen has solid wood worktops, plus an integrated hob and oven, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen leads through into a useful utility room. There is also an office on the ground floor along with two cloakrooms. A large rear lobby makes for a convenient access from the drive, which acts as a good coat/boot room.

The four double bedrooms are all well-proportioned, with the master featuring an en-suite bathroom. There is also a large family bathroom which has a bath and separate shower.

To the front of the property there is a tarmac driveway, providing plenty of parking space, and a beautifully maintained lawn. The double garage is accessed to the side of the property. To the rear there is an appealing walled, south facing garden, with a paved sun-terrace giving way to an area of lawn and established borders. An original stone well, which is about 150ft deep, is thought to be the original well of the farmhouse.

The property is located in the small hamlet of Clapham Green, six miles northwest of Harrogate and just over a mile outside the village of Hampsthwaite, in the stunning Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Everyday amenities can be found in nearby Birstwith or in Hampsthwaite, while the historic and popular Spa town of Harrogate has a variety of shopping and leisure facilities, including a superb selection of cafés, restaurants and pubs, as well as independent shops and cultural attractions.
