Detached house to rent in Harrogate HG3, 6 Bedroom

Willow House Farm is an impressive stone
farmhouse offering extensive family
accommodation, extending to over 7,000 square
feet. Restored and extended by the current
owners, the attention to detail has been
carefully considered and has been completed
to the highest standard. Willow House Farm
combines a contemporary layout with wonderful
original character features throughout. The
property is located in a peaceful rural setting
with marvellous southerly far reaching views,
yet is ideally placed for the sophisticated spa
town of Harrogate.
The fabulous large breakfast kitchen features
handmade oak cabinets as well as a 4 metre
long centre island with a double sink and
breakfast bar. The kitchen is well equipped with
a Thermador Professional Range, two integrated
extra wide Bosch ovens, steam oven, microwave,
larder fridge freezer, as well as wine and drinks
chillers and dishwasher.
At the heart of the house is this dining and living
area with four sets of double doors opening on
to the south facing garden, making this ideal
for modern day living and entertaining. Leading
off the breakfast kitchen is a garden room with
access to a ground floor WC and greenhouse.
Beyond this is a playroom. Both rooms have
double doors that open on to the lovely garden.
To the other side of the breakfast kitchen is
a formal dining room with a multi-fuel stove.
This room leads to the stunning sun room
with vaulted oak ceiling and original Yorkshire
stone flooring. Six sets of double doors open
on to the garden and sheltered courtyard,
flooding the room with natural light. Adjacent
is the spectacular drawing room; this galleried
space with a 31ft ceiling, features a large stone
fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, exposed stone
walls and oak beams. An impressive staircase
leads to the galleried landing and first floor. The
glass panelled oak barn doors lead out to the
cobbled yorkshire stone courtyard. The drawing
room benefits from a surround sound system,
a projector and a hidden 8 ft retractable screen
making it a wonderful place to relax and watch
TV. The study is accessed from the
drawing room.
Beyond this is a leisure suite, featuring a jacuzzi
and gym with non-slip flooring and a steam
room with integrated shower. A staircase
leads to the first floor where there is a gallery
overlooking the gym, a further study area and a
large cinema room. This area has the potential
for a variety of uses; it would make an ideal
teenage annexe or could be converted into a
self-contained unit. Completing the ground
floor accommodation is a utility room and the
original vaulted cellar.
To the first floor are five double bedrooms, two
of which have access on to their own shared
balcony. The bedrooms are serviced by a house
bathroom with a separate shower and house
shower room.
A further flight of stairs gives access to the
second floor and a luxurious master bedroom
suite.
Three Velux balcony windows make the most of
the stunning open countryside views. There is a
large en-suite bathroom with walk-in waterfall
shower and a freestanding bath, as well as a
dressing room with fitted wardrobes.
Willow House Farm benefits from underfloor
heating throughout as well as a central vacuum
system, oak double glazing and flooring and a
state of the art security system.

Willow House Farm is situated just outside
the peaceful village of Norwood, an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning
views over the Washburn Valley. There are a
wealth of walks right on the door step, as well
as being a short distance from Swinsty and
Fewston reservoirs. The fashionable Spa town of
Harrogate is a short drive away, (approximately
5 miles) and provides a wide range of shopping
facilities, along with an excellent range of
restaurants, café bars, theatre, cinema and
extensive recreational facilities.
Harrogate has outstanding primary and
secondary schools both state and private.
The historic market towns of Otley and Ilkley
are also close by and offer an alternative for
everyday shopping, social and recreational
facilities. The thriving financial centre of
Leeds is approximately 17 miles away and the
historic city of York 27 miles, both in commuter
distance. Transport links are most accessible
with the train line running from Harrogate to
the main stations at York and Leeds, connecting
to London Kings Cross or further north to
Newcastle and Edinburgh. The A1 motorway is
16 miles away, which provides excellent access
to the commercial centres of the North and links
with the national motorway network and Leeds
Bradford International airport only 12 miles.

The property is approached via electric gates
giving access to a lawned garden, a lit parking
area and a large double door garage capable of
holding three cars. Access to the property is via
a covered walkway with motion sensor lighting
which leads to a delightful south facing cobbled
courtyard which is a fabulous sun trap and an
ideal outside entertaining area. Beyond this is
a generous lawn surrounded by hedging and
trees making it extremely private. To the rear
of the property is a gravelled garden with steps
