4 bedroom house

A stunning Grade II Listed windmill that dates back to 1822 is one of the most complete windmills surviving in the country and has been converted to create a thoroughly unique and charming residential property comprising several levels of accommodation, including four bedrooms, with stunning views across the North Yorkshire countryside.

Throughout the property, there are exposed heavy timber beams and limestone walls, along with several other character features. The ground floor has been extended to provide additional living space, with the extension including a family room with a corner wood-burning stove. The main windmill building houses a sitting and dining area with flagstone flooring. The first floor has a well-proportioned breakfast kitchen, with plenty of storage in wooden units, integrated appliances, and a splendid original feature cast-iron oven and stovetop. There are two first reception rooms on the third floor, with both the library and sitting room featuring wonderful countryside views.

The principal bedroom is found on the second floor, with its fitted storage and a good-sized en-suite shower room. The fourth floor includes another double bedroom and house bathroom including a shower over the bath, w/c, and hand basin. There are two further bedrooms on the fifth and sixth floors respectively with the countryside views just getting better and better.

The property lies a mile outside the small village of Kirby Hill, 11 miles northeast of the bustling and historic town of Harrogate and surrounded by beautiful North Yorkshire. Kirby Hill has a local pub and a primary school, while the small town of Boroughbridge is two miles away, where plenty of local amenities and facilities can be found, including a post office, shops, pubs, supermarkets, Harrogate and Ripon are within easy reach for a wider variety of shopping and leisure facilities, while the village is well connected for transport, with the A1, three miles away, providing great access to the north and south.

The area offers a good range of state schooling including Ripon Grammar School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) together with a wide range of noted independent schools including Queen Mary's, Cundall Manor, and Belmont Grosvenor and Harrogate Ladies College.
