Description

Imposing country house in around 10 acres of grounds on the rural outskirts of Arkendale Village.

Description

Arkendale Hall is a significant country house of great character built in 1909 for a Leeds businessman in the Arts and Craft style. More recently the subject of significant refurbishment works and reconfiguration, including the West Cumberland slate roof and external render, resulting in a more practical and noteworthy family home, offering nearly 13,000 sq ft of accommodation, including an annex and separate apartment and outbuildings, all standing in a very private elevated position surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside .

Throughout the house there are many contemporary additions blended with striking period features, including mullioned leaded windows, exposed oak beams and impressive period fireplaces. Of particular note are the three principal rooms to the ground floor, including a wonderful reception hall complete with an eye catching Dovre stove - the perfect venue for a winter gathering. Leading off here is a re-modelled family kitchen with large dining area at the far end. Fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units under a corian worksurface, integrated AEG appliances and a large central island with induction hob, comfortably seating four to six people. Double doors open from the dining area onto a raised sun terrace overlooking the west lawns. In the opposite direction, down a flight of steps is a family room and access to the basement, which is currently used as a large home gym.

On the first floor, leading off a wide landing, there is the generous principal bedroom with impressive leaded bay window and attractive period fireplace, five further bedrooms, all good sized doubles, served by three recently refurbished bathrooms.

Adjoining the house, accessed via an inner door or separate entrance is a recently refurbished two bedroomed self-contained annex, complete with generous sitting room and kitchen/living room opening onto the grounds via bi-folding doors.

In addition to the house and annex is a self contained two bedroom apartment above the garages, ideal accommodation for staff or a family member.

Outside are several useful outbuildings including three loose stable boxes and a four bay garage, supported by a further garage/workshop. The house and outbuildings centre around a large gravelled parking and turning area surrounded by around seven acres of garden, predominantly laid to lawn bordered by numerous mature specimen trees and a pond, amounting to around 10 acres. The approach is via a sweeping private driveway lined by an avenue of mature trees and woodland.

Location

The Hall is just outside Arkendale Village set back off Marton Lane. The village has an active community, including a gastro pub, church and film club screening films regularly in the Community Hall. The nearest towns are Boroughbridge (4.5 miles) and Knaresborough (4.5 miles), both with excellent facilities. Knaresborough has a railway station connecting to Harrogate, Leeds and York. The A1 gives access to the north and south, York is only 17 miles away and Leeds 24. Leeds Bradford Airport is 19 miles away.

Arkendale is situated in a pretty stretch of countryside between The Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks and Nidderdale and Howardian Hills Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and yet is conveniently located for Yorkshire’s urban conurbations Leeds and York. There are numerous private schools nearby including Queen Elthelburga's, Cundall, Queen Mary's and Ashfield in Harrogate.
