Danby House, an attractive stone built, detached five-bedroom property with extensive potential, lies on the edge of historic Middleham, Lower Wensleydale, and is now on the market for offers over £850,000.
The property offers unique views of both Middleham Castle, childhood home of Richard III and Williams Hill, an 11th Century Norman Motte and Bailey castle.
Danby House has a wealth of features including alcoves, stone flagged and parquet flooring, period fireplaces, sash windows with shutters, open fires, kitchen aga, high walled gardens and three significant out-buildings.
Lizzie Tate, Property Agent at GSC Grays, said “Danby House has considerable potential to create a wonderful family home and has the feel of a country residence. The property, which is offered with no onward chain, sits on the road leading up to the gallops on Middleham Moor with the frequent sight and sound of racehorses trotting past.”
Once the home of the local doctor, the property includes an outbuilding that served as both surgery and waiting room. This and two other out-buildings offer exciting potential for conversion into independent office space, guest annex or holiday let accommodation subject to the necessary consents.
The entrance hall has parquet and stone-flagged flooring with two staircases leading to the main landing. The ground floor includes two principle rooms that could be reconfigured to create an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with open fire places. Currently there is a separate kitchen, dining room, and south facing sitting & drawing rooms.
The first floor accommodation provides four bedrooms, three of which are good-sized doubles with a staircase leading to an additional second floor double opposite an extensive attic space with clear potential, particularly for children!
There is a large cellar with stone-flagged flooring, separated into two rooms, with potential as further living space or for additional storage.
The south facing grounds extend over half an acre providing two substantial lawns, mature trees, a pond and two discreet stone and slate corner sheds all sheltered behind high stone walls. Double timber gates lead into a substantial gravelled parking area with ample space for several vehicles.
Middleham, famed for its rich race horsing heritage, is nestled between two rivers, the Ure and Cover and close by three of North Yorkshire’s most popular restaurants, The Blue Lion at East Witton, The Saddle Room at Coverham and The Wensleydale Heifer at West Witton.
Danby House is currently on the market with GSC Grays Richmond office with a guide price of offers over £850,000. Tel 01748 897630.
