4 Bedroom Detached House

Fieldhead Farm occupies a private position on Brackenthwaite Lane, one of Harrogate’s most desirable semi-rural addresses. Set within approximately 2 acres of mature, south-facing grounds, it combines the warmth and character of an established country home with exceptional vistas of Almscliffe Crag and a rare further advantage: planning permission granted for a carefully considered future scheme.

An exceptional private country home with picturesque views over Almscliffe Crag, offering a paddock and outbuildings with planning permission to extend the existing house and create a bespoke two bedroom dwelling.

Field Head Farm is a charming stone-built period home offering beautifully presented accommodation that has been sensitively updated while retaining a wealth of character, including exposed timber beams, vaulted ceilings and impressive stone fireplaces. The welcoming reception hall creates a striking first impression with its vaulted ceiling, oak beams and oak flooring. Beyond lies the generous sitting room, centred around a substantial Stovax fireplace with wood-burning stove. At the heart of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen and dining room, crowned by a magnificent timber-framed vaulted ceiling and fitted with bespoke cabinetry, granite work surfaces, a central island, integrated appliances and an Aga. With ample space for family dining and direct access to the patio via a stable door, it is ideally suited to modern living and entertaining. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a cosy family room with open fireplace, a ground-floor bedroom with en suite shower room, a study or fifth bedroom, a family bathroom and a utility room.

The first floor is arranged across two wings, accessed via separate staircases, providing flexibility and privacy. The principal bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling, built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom, each benefit from private staircases..

The property is approached through electric sliding gates, opening onto a generous driveway with ample parking. Outbuildings include a garage, home gym and stable block, with consent granted for conversion to a two-bedroom bungalow
(Planning ref: HGT22/04775/FUL (Field Head Cottage -bungalow), HGT21/04678/FUL (House extension). The gardens are laid mainly to level lawns, complemented by mature trees and established planting. To the rear, a sheltered walled courtyard
provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining, while a paddock suitable for equestrian use completes the grounds, which enjoy far-reaching views towards Almscliffe Crag and the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside.
