Parkgate House is a large and beautiful detached house with a detached cottage and additional barn conversion, which sit in large, attractive grounds. Built in c1740, the property is located in the popular village of Constable Burton, in the heart of Lower Wensleydale. The village is a conservation area and is described in its designation as “a fine example of a small estate village” and is also mentioned in the Domesday Book.

The property is light and bright and has a wealth of character. It has been tastefully and sympathetically restored by the current owners. Works in recent years include extensive re-plastering, new flooring, full re-wire to all three properties including outside lighting, new heating system including boilers and radiators to the main house and cottage, pressurised water systems, double glazed sash windows and doors, electric vehicle charging point and many more updates.

The property has a wealth of period features including original floors in the living and dining rooms, which have been painstakingly restored, as well as the original salt cupboard in the living room. The property also has exposed beams throughout, as well as modern wood-burning stoves in all three reception rooms.

To the ground floor of the main house, you are greeted by an inviting entrance hall to the rear which leads to the large farmhouse style kitchen, large useful larder/utility room, and three large reception rooms to the front all which enjoy wood-burning stoves.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are ensuite. There is also a dressing room for the master bedroom which could also be used as an additional bedroom if preferred.
The second floor is a converted attic with a fourth double bedroom / study, walk through wardrobe/dressing room and ensuite shower room.

Externally there is a detached converted barn with a fifth double bedroom / home gym / home office and ensuite shower room. This also lends itself to additional accommodation for the cottage.

Also in the grounds is an immaculate one-bedroom cottage with its own garden. Currently run as a successful holiday let, the property also lends itself to multi-generational living if preferred. The cottage offers a double bedroom, living room with wood burning stove, dining kitchen and a bathroom.

The grounds are very generous with separate gardens for the house and cottage. The larger gardens, which look out onto open fields, go beyond the house giving an enormous garden, mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, flower beds and established shrubs, providing a real gardeners paradise. There is a large gated gravel drive which provides ample parking for approximately 8-10 vehicles. There is also an electric vehicle charging point.

Parkgate House’s flexible accommodation offers a fantastic family home with additional income opportunities or secondary accommodation for dependant relatives.

What the owners say
“We’ve loved restoring the property and its beautiful original features. Our favourite thing though is the stunning location and views. We love enjoying sitting outside in the gardens on a summer’s evening enjoying a BBQ, or in colder months sitting around the firepit watching the stunning Northern Lights.”
