We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A beautifully presented stone-built detached residence offering four luxurious en-suite bedroom suites, exceptional open-plan living accommodation and delightful landscaped gardens, occupying one of the finest positions within an exclusive gated countryside development.
Combining the character of a traditional Yorkshire barn with the comfort and sophistication of contemporary family living, Shepherd Barn enjoys far-reaching rural views, excellent privacy and an outstanding balance of open-plan entertaining space and more intimate reception rooms.
Occupying a prime position within the highly regarded Drovers Fold development, this exceptional family home has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained throughout.
The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family life, whilst enjoying a peaceful rural setting surrounded by open countryside.
At the heart of the home lies a magnificent open-plan living, dining and kitchen space; an impressive room designed for both entertaining and everyday living.
The bespoke handmade kitchen is centred around a substantial island and complemented by quality integrated appliances, extensive cabinetry, granite work surfaces and generous preparation space.
The dining area sits beneath a striking double-height glazed elevation, creating a wonderful sense of light and space, whilst the comfortable living area enjoys bi-fold doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
Balancing the contemporary feel of the open-plan living space, the separate sitting room offers a wonderfully cosy atmosphere, centred around an attractive inglenook fireplace with exposed brickwork, oak mantle and cast-iron gas stove.
With views over the gardens and direct access to the terrace, it provides the perfect space for quieter evenings and family gatherings.
A separate snug offers excellent flexibility as a home office, playroom or additional reception room, whilst a utility room, cloakroom and internal access to the double garage complete the ground floor accommodation.
Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, complemented by Heatmiser controls, comprehensive data cabling and an EV charging point.
To the first floor, an attractive galleried landing leads to four exceptionally generous double bedroom suites, each benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom or shower room.
The principal suite enjoys extensive fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom, whilst two further bedrooms benefit from dedicated dressing areas.
Many of the bedrooms enjoy delightful views across the surrounding countryside, further enhancing the property’s rural appeal.
Outside, Shepherd Barn is approached through secure remotely operated entrance gates leading to an extensive block-paved driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles and access to the double garage.
The property’s gardens are a particular feature, having been beautifully landscaped to create a private and sheltered outdoor environment.
Generous stone terraces and timber pergolas provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining, whilst expansive lawns, established planting and mature hedging create a wonderful setting for family life.
A summer house offers additional versatility and the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy, making them ideal for both children and pets. The property also offers exciting future potential.
Original design provision was made for additional second-floor accommodation, with plumbing infrastructure already in place should a purchaser wish to create further bedrooms or living space, subject to any necessary consents.
Situated approximately one mile from the sought-after village of Markington, which offers a village store, post office and public house, Shepherd Barn is ideally placed for access to the cathedral city of Ripon and the spa town of Harrogate, both of which provide an excellent range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities.
The surrounding road network also offers convenient connections across the region, making this an ideal location for those seeking a balance between countryside living and everyday convenience.
