3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Bouthwaite, Pateley Bridge HG3

This absolutely stunning three-bedroom detached bungalow occupies an enviable elevated position overlooking Gouthwaite Reservoir, nestled within the peaceful and picturesque Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Enjoying all-day sun thanks to its south-facing orientation, the property sits on a beautifully landscaped plot of over two acres, with breathtaking views and a strong sense of privacy in a warm and welcoming rural community.

Recently renovated to an exceptional standard in 2025, the property underwent a comprehensive back-to-brick refurbishment including a full rewire, modern insulation, the installation of an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and comfort.

Approached via a spacious gravel driveway suitable for multiple vehicles, the property is fronted by an attached double garage with power and an electric door. Once inside, the impressive vaulted entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the home and flows into a spectacular open-plan kitchen and living space. The bespoke kitchen is finished with high-quality units and sleek ceramic worktops, integrated appliances, and a central breakfast island with seating. A practical utility room is located just off the entrance hall.

The open-plan living area enjoys a stunning full-length picture window and bi-folding doors leading out to the raised, south-facing sun terrace, the perfect spot to entertain while taking in the uninterrupted countryside and reservoir views. The extensive, well-maintained gardens wrap around the home and are mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs, colourful flower beds, and multiple patio areas for relaxing or socialising in the sun.

To one wing of the property, the bedroom accommodation is cleverly separated for privacy. The fabulous principal bedroom suite features a luxurious en-suite shower room and a large walk-in wardrobe. There are two further generous double bedrooms, along with a stylish main house bathroom boasting a freestanding bath and separate shower, as well as a further separate W/C for guests.

One of the property’s standout features is the substantial loft, which currently spans the full length of the home. Planning permission has already been granted to convert this space into a four or five-bedroom, two-storey property, offering incredible potential for future development (plans available upon request).
