GENERAL REMARKS

This impressive period family home occupies a prime setting close to the heart of this sought after North Yorkshire village amidst walled gardens amounting to just over half an acre (0.518 acres).

There is local evidence that two eighteenth century cottages were enlarged during the nineteenth century in conjunction with a useful range of adjoining outbuildings, parts of which again have eighteenth century origins. Wood Grove currently provides a spacious layout of family accommodation with four reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, large upgraded cloakroom, five family bedrooms, house shower room and the aforementioned extensive outbuildings. However our clients have achieved valuable planning permission for an imaginative remodel and extension of the existing accommodation maximising the outbuildings to provide in excess of 4300 sqft of contemporary family space along with a new detached garage; he end result being a stunning home of the highest quality. Architects plans are available for this 'Grand Design' on this micro site: The development opportunity at Wood Grove could be perused from a different slant following a positive Pre Application Enquiry with Harrogate Borough Council by Johnson Brook Planning and Development Consultants.

They have investigated the demolition of the existing property and the construction of four dwellings on the site with a favourable response from the Senior Planner subject to strict conditions within the Conservation Area (full response also available for inspection on the micro site). Westfield Road lies at the centre of this well-served village close to its excellent local amenities including the village primary school, medical centre and mini-supermarket.

There is excellent access to Leeds and York via the A59 and the local rail link at Cattal, whilst the A1/M1 link road enables ease of commuting to the major commercial centres of North and West Yorkshire.
