4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Barrowby Lane, Kirkby Overblow HG3

Occupying an idyllic and wonderfully private position within the exclusive gated Barrowby Estate, Inglefield is a highly individual four-bedroom period home enjoying panoramic views across the Wharfe Valley, beautifully landscaped gardens and approximately two acres of its own established bluebell woodland. Combining character, privacy and a remarkable countryside setting with the added security of a gated development, this is a genuinely distinctive home in one of the area’s most desirable village locations.

Inglefield has a character all of its own, with an interesting and individual layout, high ceilings and large windows that allow natural light to fill the accommodation whilst drawing attention to the exceptional outlook. The entrance hall leads to a superb sitting room with exposed beams, a log-burning stove and French doors opening directly onto the terrace, creating a natural connection between the house, gardens and surrounding countryside. A separate dining room provides versatile additional reception space, while the generous breakfast kitchen features a large bay window with fitted window seat, perfectly positioned to sit and enjoy the far-reaching views across the Wharfe Valley. A study area, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

A characterful split-level landing leads to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly special, with French doors opening onto its own private balcony overlooking the valley, together with an en-suite bathroom. The guest bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while two further double bedrooms are served by the house shower room.

It is the setting and grounds that make Inglefield particularly memorable. The landscaped gardens have been arranged with terraces and seating areas positioned to take advantage of the far-reaching south-westerly outlook, providing wonderful places to sit, entertain and enjoy the changing light across the valley.

Beyond the formal gardens lies approximately two acres of private woodland, creating an extraordinary natural backdrop to the property and a tremendous sense of seclusion. Carpeted with bluebells in spring, the woodland provides an idyllic space to walk and explore, whilst offering the benefit of owning a substantial area of land without the level of maintenance associated with two acres of formal garden. Together with the gated approach, mature surroundings and open countryside views, it gives Inglefield an unusual combination of privacy, security and space.

A detached double garage is complemented by generous private parking.

Inglefield forms part of an exclusive gated development of just six individual homes, set amidst beautiful countryside between the highly regarded villages of Kirkby Overblow and Sicklinghall. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is exceptionally well placed for Harrogate, Wetherby, Leeds and York. Kirkby Overblow itself offers a well-regarded primary school, village pub and church, whilst the A1(M) and rail connections from Harrogate and Leeds provide excellent links further afield.

The property is freehold and offered for sale with no onward chain.
