THE PROPERTY
Throstle Nest Farm enjoys a very private rural location set at the end of a long private road and enjoying a wonderful outlook over the surrounding open countryside. The property was completely refurbished approximately 10 years ago and is designed to provide excellent family accommodation with a superb living kitchen having a full height double storey ceiling and large windows flooding the room with light and forming the heart of the house. The property includes a number of character features such as exposed timbers, trusses, stone and brick work and there are wood burning stoves in all of the reception rooms.
It is approached through a reception hall that leads to the family room which has French doors to the garden and a wood burning stove and beyond is the sitting room which has a feature fireplace and stove. The large open plan living kitchen includes a raised sitting area with full height ceiling, dining area with two storey windows and a kitchen area with extensive fitted units, central island and stone flagged floors.

To the first floor, a central landing leads to the principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, the guest bedroom suite with en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a house bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached down a shared private road which meanders through open fields and continues to the end where you will find the farmhouse. It has a private gravelled parking and turning area with an open double garage. The large gardens lie to the south of the house and enjoy a direct outlook over open fields. There is a south facing terrace with lawned gardens beyond and a paddock to the side with the total area extending to 3.63 acres (1.47ha).
LOCATION
The property offers a rare opportunity to purchase a secluded family home set within its own gardens and grounds and enjoy total privacy overlooking open fields, yet it is just a few miles drive from Harrogate town and there is good access to both road and rail links including the A1(M).
