9 bedroom house

Woodrow House is an impressive Grade II listed townhouse occupying a prominent elevated position at the north end of Bedale. The property, which dates back to 1732, offers five to six bedrooms, depending on how the rooms are utilised, plus a separate three bedroom cottage which has been fully refurbished with garaging. In addition, there is a significant period stable block within the generous grounds which has lapsed planning permission for conversion to a four bedroom, three storey residential dwelling.

The house fronts the main Bedale high street with a long private driveway to the rear providing vehicular access to the back of the property, cottage, stable block, garaging and ample parking/garden. The accommodation in the main house which would now benefit from some updating, including the addition of central heating on the upper floors, offers ample living space arranged over three floors, plus a large cellar with direct access to outside at both the front and rear of the property.

The principal reception rooms on the ground floor are arranged either side of the impressive central reception hall and comprise a living room and adjacent dining room to the front of the house, with a study, kitchen and utility to the rear. The staircase rises to the first floor, passing a guest WC on a half landing, where there are two double bedrooms (one with en suite bathroom) and a spacious dual aspect sitting room. There are four further bedrooms on the top floor.

Attached to the main house, but completely self-contained, is a separate cottage which has been recently refurbished to a high standard, with its own private enclosed rear courtyard garden. Downstairs there is a spacious sitting room with a study/third bedroom off, modern fitted kitchen and adjoining utility room. Upstairs there are two bedrooms serviced by a house bathroom.

A large garage, with electric and water, links the cottage to the two storey stable block which has lapsed planning permission for conversion to a residential dwelling, including the addition of a third floor. Architects plans for this are available upon request.

Services
Mains water, electricity and drainage are installed. Gas central heating.
