DOBSON House Farm has been the much-loved home of the vendor’s family for generations, with this being the first time it has come to the open market during a century of private ownership. And it’s easy to see why.

As well as this characterful period farmhouse being home to a wealth of beautifully-presented accommodation thanks to works which have enhanced, extended and remodelled it in recent years, Dobson House Farm offers plenty of land to roam and enjoys glorious views over rolling countryside in every direction. A real rural retreat!

Its accommodation, entered via a storm porch which leads into the entrance hall, includes an informal sitting room with French doors opening directly onto a terrace; a study; utility room/boot room; cloakroom and the open-plan breakfast kitchen/dining room that combines modern conveniences with traditional craftsmanship and is home to handcrafted painted units, solid oak floors and exposed ceiling beams in the dining area, which has ample space for a large dining table, making it perfect for both casual meals and more formal gatherings.

Completing the ground floor is the generously-proportioned drawing room, a standout feature of Dobson House Farm. It includes an exposed stone wall which adds a touch of rustic charm and a log-burning stove, and is flooded with natural light thanks to the triple aspect windows and French doors which frame the stunning views and offer access to the gardens.

Upstairs are the family bathroom and four bedrooms, including the master bedroom with a dressing room featuring bespoke fitted furniture plus a stylish modern en-suite shower room. Two of the bedrooms have window seats perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the stunning countryside views.

Dobson House Farm is approached via an impressive tree-lined driveway, creating a grand sense of arrival which leads to ample private parking.

It has extensive landscaped gardens and grounds which are home to a summer house, dining and entertaining terraces, an orchard and pasture and paddock land.

Within its grounds – which extend to approximately 6.9 acres and are laid mainly to grass, interspersed by mature woodland – is also a versatile single-storey timber clad building which was formerly home to the Yorkshire Gun Room, and as such comprises a showroom, offices, workshops and storage areas. This substantial structure offers immense potential for a variety of uses, such as conversion into office space, a leisure suite or even ancillary accommodation subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

In addition, the property benefits from an expansive steel-framed agricultural building, currently used for garaging and storage.
