Laburnum House is an exceptional five-bedroom detached stone-fronted home, believed to date back to the 1890s, occupying an elevated position in the heart of this idyllic Nidderdale village and enjoying delightful far-reaching views. Beautifully presented throughout, the property combines period character with high-quality contemporary finishes, set within mature landscaped gardens and complemented by a detached double garage block incorporating a stylish one-bedroom studio apartment above, ideal for guests, relatives, or ancillary accommodation. Shaw Mills is just a short drive away from the fashionable village of Ripley and approximately 15 minutes from Harrogate Town Centre, close to Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks and is also on the Nidderdale Way.

Retaining a wealth of charm, the property benefits from a mix of original and sealed-unit sash double-glazed windows together with oil-fired central heating. The well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming central reception hall, guest WC, and utility room. The elegant sitting room features a striking marble fireplace with recessed wood-burning stove, high ceilings with decorative cornicing, picture rails, and solid oak flooring. Double doors open into a light-filled sunroom, again with solid oak flooring and direct access to the gardens. The snug offers a period fireplace, ceiling cornices, and oak flooring, providing an ideal space for entertaining.

At the heart of the home is a superb bespoke living kitchen by Chapel Kitchens, fitted with an extensive range of hand-built units, granite work surfaces, and a recessed Esse range cooker. A large central island and limestone flooring complete this impressive space, with double doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow.

To the first floor, the landing leads to the principal bedroom with a contemporary en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, a fifth bedroom currently used as a home office, and a stylish house bathroom featuring a separate shower enclosure.
