Willow Farm, Burn Bridge, Harrogate

Impressive country home with private courtyard, extensive gardens and land.

Willow Farm is a stunning period home offering flexible family accommodation, including a self-contained 2 bedroom cottage, in an enviable edge of village location adjacent to open countryside to the favoured south side of Harrogate.

This truly unique property, with a sheltered courtyard garden at its centre, has excellent and immaculately presented accommodation comprising a welcoming reception hall with guest w/c and shower room, former gin gang which is now a light filled sitting room with exposed ceiling beams and a feature stone fireplace with inset wood burning stove, useful study, dining/games room with doors out to the courtyard garden, open grate fire, and a galleried landing above.

The adjacent dining kitchen, with fully fitted utility room and further w/c off, enjoys a range of bespoke hand painted shaker style cabinetry with granite work surfaces, central island unit in a contrasting colour with seating and marble work top, and space for a dining table and chairs in front of two full floor to ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard. This sociable space flows into a further sitting room with a triple aspect, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, oak flooring and a feature fireplace with wood burning stove. A fabulous underfloor heated dining room with a partially glazed roof above overlooks the central courtyard via two sets of glazed double doors.

Completing the excellent ground floor is another reception room with a fully fitted bar area and direct access to the sizeable gardens, large shower room, and a double bedroom with its own en suite shower room.

To the first floor the impressive galleried landing leads to the principal bedroom with a full wall of fitted wardrobes, distant views, and a luxurious en suite with twin sinks, fitted storage, large freestanding bath, and a walk in shower.

To the opposite side of the landing are two further double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and mezzanine floor areas above, and both serviced by a generous house bathroom with separate bath and shower enclosure.

Separate Cottage
Forming one corner of the courtyard garden is a separate self-contained cottage. This delightful single storey property offers beautifully finished accommodation comprising front and rear entrances, both with storage, an open plan living/dining space with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, feature fireplace and access to the gardens, fully fitted kitchen with bespoke shaker style cabinetry and granite work surfaces, large bedroom with en suite shower room, further double bedroom, and a house shower room. The cottage benefits from its own private garden area.

Gardens and Grounds
Willow Farm is set within generous and particularly private grounds. Accessed via a quiet lane, the property has a stone walled boundary to the front with double timber gates opening to reveal a spacious gravelled driveway suitable for parking numerous vehicles in front of a detached oak framed double garage, one side of which is open.

The mature gardens are a particular feature with established tree lined boundaries providing a high degree of privacy whilst not obscuring the distant countryside views beyond. A large central courtyard garden is accessed from many of the rooms within the house - this sheltered area with raised planted beds in the middle is the ideal place to entertain guests, alfresco dine, or just enjoy long summer days outside.

To the rear of the house is a significant south facing lawned area, formerly used as paddock land with separate gated access from Burn Bridge Road, this impressive space is perfect for families. Surrounded by owned woodland with a pathway providing a picturesque walk within the grounds of the house. A circular stone seating area and firepit looking back at the house is a lovely place to enjoy summer evenings from.

Another gate to the front of the house leads to a separate parking and garden area for the cottage to enjoy without the need to impose on the main house.
