3 bed detached house for sale

Barrowby Lane, Kirkby Overblow HG3

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a charming country residence occupying approximately three-quarters of an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Kirkby Overblow. Enjoying breath-taking panoramic views across the Yorkshire countryside, extensive private grounds and exciting scope to enlarge or redevelop (subject to the necessary consents), this is a truly special home in a location where properties are seldom offered to the open market.

Approached via a sweeping private driveway bordered by mature trees and established hedging, the property enjoys an immediate sense of privacy and seclusion. A generous parking area leads to the detached garage, while the beautifully maintained gardens wrap around the house, creating a wonderful setting for both family life and outdoor entertaining. Expansive lawns, established planting, sun terraces and a range of useful outbuildings-including a substantial fully fitted two-room workshop, greenhouse and several garden stores-combine to create an exceptional outdoor environment with outstanding potential.

The accommodation offers an excellent balance of character and versatility. A welcoming entrance porch opens into a spacious reception hall, leading to an elegant sitting room with an attractive feature fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the gardens, allowing the spectacular setting to become part of everyday living. A separate study, also featuring a fireplace and bespoke fitted storage, provides an ideal space for home working or as an occasional fourth bedroom given the presence of a ground floor shower room.

To the rear of the property lies a generous country-style kitchen and dining room, perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the gardens from the attractive bay window. French doors provide direct access to the terrace, creating an ideal space for entertaining both indoors and out. The kitchen is complemented by a practical utility room incorporating the previously mentioned shower room, pantry and external access.

The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms. The impressive principal suite enjoys a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room beneath vaulted skylights, creating a light and tranquil retreat. A second double bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, whilst the third double bedroom is served by a beautifully appointed house bathroom featuring both a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.

Occupying one of the village's most desirable plots, this outstanding home offers an increasingly rare combination of privacy, mature grounds, breath-taking countryside views and significant future potential. Whether enjoyed in its current form or enhanced to create a substantial bespoke country residence (subject to the necessary planning consents), it represents a unique opportunity within one of North Yorkshire's most prestigious villages.
