About
Highfield House represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial former farmhouse, occupying a generous plot on the edge of Knaresborough.
Requiring comprehensive renovation throughout, the property offers exceptional scope for extension, reconfiguration, and complete personalisation, presenting a rare prospect to create a distinctive home.
The existing accommodation extends to a sizeable footprint, with well-proportioned rooms that lend themselves to a variety of potential layouts.
The house now requires a full programme of modernisation, yet its scale and traditional character provide an excellent foundation for redevelopment.
Externally, Highfield House is set within a good-sized plot, offering ample space for landscaping and further enhancement.
A notable feature of the property is the range of outbuildings, formerly utilised as kennels, which provide significant additional potential for conversion or alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.
The combination of the main house and its ancillary buildings creates a highly versatile offering, suited to a range of purchasers seeking a project with both substance and flexibility in an increasingly sought-after location.
Situated on the edge of Knaresborough, the property benefits from the charm and amenities of this historic market town, renowned for its picturesque riverside setting and characterful streets.
Knaresborough offers a wide range of independent shops, cafés, and schools, together with excellent transport links, including a railway station providing regular services to York, Leeds, and beyond.
The A1(M) is also within easy reach, making the area highly convenient for commuters while retaining an appealing semi-rural setting.
