Skillfully converted in 2012 from traditional stone barns, the property features a magnificent family house which includes a guest annexe/cottage to the southern wing. It also includes significant barns and features an exceptional location in the Howardian Hills, elevated with panoramic views across wooded hills to the North York Moors.
Harome Grange is over 200 years old and has been beautifully restored, retaining original roof trusses and ancient timbers. The former wheelhouse now serves as a spectacular kitchen/breakfast room with panoramic views, a vaulted ceiling, and underfloor heating. The spacious sitting room features a bespoke staircase, underfloor heating, and a wood-burning stove leading to a garden terrace. A beamed dining room with exposed stonework and a grand old barn provide additional versatile space.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite offers stunning views and an en suite, whilst the further three bedrooms (with another en suite) and a contemporary bathroom, completes the house.
THE ANNEXE/GRANGE COTTAGE
The Annexe/Cottage, originally a cow house from the 1890s, features vaulted ceilings throughout to enhance space and light. Original barn details like exposed trusses, brickwork, old lintels, and wide cottage doors with ironmongery are preserved, with a stable door leading into a stone flagged hallway. It offers two reception rooms: a snug with a south-facing door to a patio and a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and west facing windows. The kitchen breakfast room is light-filled, with double aspect windows, a door to the drive, and space for a dining table. The fitted kitchen includes integrated appliances, granite work surfaces, and a butler sink under a south-facing window. There are three double bedrooms, including a principal suite with a shower room, while the other two share a house bathroom.
The Annexe/Cottage offers flexibility in terms of either being integral to the main house, as further family accommodation, or as a separate guest suite. It has as an enclosed, grassed garden with post and rail fencing and stunning south-facing views. A large car park is adjacent to the garden, offering ample space for multiple vehicles.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
A private gravel drive leads through stone pillars and an avenue of trees to the car park near Grange Cottage. It continues past agricultural sheds to the main parking area at the rear of Harome Grange, which includes a turning area and ample parking. The main garden is mostly lawn, enclosed by mixed hedging with birch and willow trees, offering views of fields, woodland, and moorland. A paved patio by the stable door and a gravelled area near the house provide sheltered spots to relax. There are two steel-framed barns on the eastern boundary, totalling over 4,700 sq ft. These offer significant storage space and potential for various business uses.
