NEW - An impressive 6 bedroom country house providing excellent family accommodation, standing in almost 10 acres (4.05 ha) and enjoying an enviable south facing position with extensive views over Lower Wharfedale towards the Harewood Estate, between Harrogate and Leeds.

Healthwaite Hall takes full advantage of its gently sloping and elevated position in picturesque Lower Wharfedale, being a prime location between the elegant spa town of Harrogate and cosmopolitan city of Leeds. As such, extensive facilities are readily available in both locations including state and private schooling alternatives, a wide array of shopping and cultural options, together with road, rail and air connections for whose wishing to travel further afield. The views, particularly to the south and west towards the Harewood Estate and Ilkley Moor respectively, are outstanding.

The property is believed to date from the early 1800s and was significantly extended by the present owners some 12 years ago, creating a 6 bedroom country house extending to over 5000 sqft that stands in just under 10 acres (4.05 ha) of gardens, paddock and woodland. With a sweeping driveway approach, this exceptional country house cannot fail to impress. The formal gardens are enchanting, with extensive strategically positioned terracing affording panoramic views. There is also an all-weather tennis court discreetly positioned to the west of the main house.

There is a generous feeling of space throughout, and this is immediately apparent with a full height galleried reception hall. Double doors then lead to a formal sitting room having a double aspect and feature fireplace. The flexibility of Healthwaite Hall is such that a family room off the inner hallway could also be used as a formal dining room and the high level cellar of the original house is now a unique home cinema. The large living kitchen offers ample opportunity for everyday dining and relaxation with a generous kitchen area plus an adjoining utility/boot room with external access.

The first floor accommodation is no less impressive with a master bedroom having an excellent range of wardrobes plus a large ensuite, two guest bedrooms each with their own ensuite facilities as well as three further bedrooms plus a luxury house bathroom that includes a steam room. There is also a separate study and hidden staircase access to a good-sized loft area. There is also a substantial double garage with attic space having external access.

The established gardens are a lovely feature, being predominantly on the southern side of the hall, and overlooking the front paddock. With an orchard close to a purpose built all-weather tennis court, the remaining grassland creates a backdrop to the north and is complemented by woodland on the western boundary. As a whole, Healthwaite Hall stands in just under 10 acres (4.05 ha) in an excellent location with superb views.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
