Parkgate House, Constable Burton
Welcome to Parkgate House, an impressive period home offering generous family accommodation, character features and the added benefit of a separate, self-contained cottage, currently operating as a successful holiday let. With spacious interiors, established gardens and plenty of parking, this is a property that offers not only a wonderful family home but also the opportunity to generate an additional income.
Parkgate House retains much of the character you would expect from a property of its age, with original features sitting comfortably alongside modern improvements, including double-glazed windows. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, providing plenty of flexibility for family life, whether you're looking for generous entertaining spaces, room for visiting guests or simply somewhere with a little more space to enjoy.
Location
Situated in the attractive North Yorkshire village of Constable Burton, Parkgate House enjoys a convenient position along the main road connecting Leyburn and Bedale. A bus stop directly outside the property provides a useful public transport connection, whilst the nearby market towns are just a short drive away.
Constable Burton is a small, traditional village with a welcoming rural feel. At its centre, you'll find a village green, a local pub, a village hall and gardens, along with a children's play park. There is also a nearby caravan and camping site, attracting visitors who come to enjoy the surrounding countryside.
For everyday essentials and a wider choice of independent shops, cafés, schools and other amenities, both Leyburn and Bedale are within easy reach. Catterick Garrison is also a convenient drive away, offering larger supermarkets and further shopping facilities.
One of the real attractions of living here is the access to the North Yorkshire countryside. With the Yorkshire Dales National Park close by and the North York Moors also accessible for days out, there is no shortage of places to explore. Whether you enjoy walking, cycling, visiting traditional market towns or simply spending time outdoors, this is a location that makes it easy to enjoy a rural lifestyle without feeling isolated.
The Main House
Parkgate House offers an abundance of space, with three reception rooms on the ground floor, four bedrooms arranged over the upper two floors and a layout that lends itself particularly well to family living.
The property has a traditional front entrance directly from the roadside, whilst a large gated gravel driveway to the side provides a more practical everyday entrance, with ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
Entering from the rear, you're welcomed into a hallway connecting several of the ground-floor rooms. From here, the kitchen and dining area forms an important part of the home, offering a space for everyday cooking, family meals and spending time together.
The ground floor benefits from three reception rooms, giving the property a great deal of flexibility. The arrangement of these rooms also means different members of the household can enjoy their own space, something that becomes increasingly valuable as families grow.
Moving upstairs, the first floor continues to offer generous accommodation, with three double bedrooms, one of which benefits from it's own en suite bathroom. This is a particularly appealing feature for families with older children or those who regularly welcome overnight guests, providing additional privacy and convenience.
A separate family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation on this floor, whilst a dedicated dressing room offers useful additional space for clothing and storage, helping to keep the bedrooms free from unnecessary furniture.
The accommodation continues onto the second floor, where you'll find a fourth bedroom and a separate WC. This upper level adds another dimension to the property and could work particularly well as a guest bedroom, teenager's space or a quieter area for someone working from home.
Throughout the house, the combination of period character, generous room proportions and practical improvements creates a home that can comfortably accommodate the changing needs of family life.
Gardens and Outside Space
Outside, Parkgate House benefits from a substantial amount of outdoor space, with a large garden providing plenty of room for both relaxation and family activities.
The gated gravel driveway offers generous parking, ideal for households with several vehicles or those who regularly have friends and family visiting.
The garden itself provides space to enjoy the warmer months, whether that's outdoor dining, entertaining friends, gardening or simply having an area for children to play. For those who enjoy spending time outdoors, the size of the garden offers plenty of scope to make the most of the setting.
An additional outbuilding, complete with its own WC, adds further practicality to the outside space. Depending on individual requirements and any necessary permissions, this could provide useful space for hobbies, storage or other activities.
With the main house, cottage, parking and gardens all forming part of the property, Parkgate House offers a level of versatility that is not always easy to find.
The Cottage
One of the standout features of Parkgate House is the separate, self-contained cottage, offering a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking for an additional income stream or flexible accommodation alongside their main home.
The cottage has its own kitchen with dining space, a separate living room, a bedroom and a shower room, providing everything needed for an independent stay. Its self-contained layout makes it particularly suitable for holiday accommodation, allowing guests to enjoy their own space whilst remaining conveniently close to the main house.
Currently operating as an established holiday let, the cottage attracts an average of approximately 29 bookings per year and benefits from repeat customers. This provides an appealing starting point for anyone considering a lifestyle business, with an existing customer base rather than having to establish a holiday let entirely from scratch.
For buyers who have considered moving to North Yorkshire and running a small holiday accommodation business, this could be an excellent opportunity to combine the two. The proximity to the Yorkshire Dales, local market towns and surrounding countryside makes the location particularly attractive to visitors looking to explore this part of the region.
Equally, the cottage could appeal to buyers who don't necessarily want to continue with holiday letting. Its separate accommodation may suit visiting family members, longer-term guests or potentially multigenerational living, subject to any relevant planning, occupancy or letting restrictions.
A Home with More to Offer
Parkgate House is much more than a traditional four-bedroom family home. It offers the space and character of a period property, the practicality of modern improvements and the added flexibility of a separate cottage with an established holiday letting history.
For families, the multiple reception rooms, four bedrooms and generous garden provide room to grow and enjoy. For those relocating to North Yorkshire, the village setting and convenient access to nearby towns offer an appealing balance between countryside living and everyday practicality. And for buyers considering a change of lifestyle, the cottage presents an opportunity to explore additional income without leaving home.
With so much accommodation and flexibility on offer, Parkgate House is a property that deserves to be viewed to fully appreciate everything it has to offer.
