Location:
Oatlands House enjoys a secluded yet accessible position on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, surrounded by open fields and panoramic views. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, walking routes, and outdoor pursuits, yet remains just a short drive from the historic spa town of Harrogate (3.4 miles), offering excellent schools, boutique shopping, restaurants, and rail links.
The property is ideally situated for those seeking a slower pace of life without sacrificing access to modern amenities. Excellent road networks provide convenient travel to Leeds (17.5 miles), Skipton, and the wider region, while the nearby Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty adds further charm and recreational appeal.
Please see the additional link attached to the listing to read about the famous and historic background of Haverah Park, and, by extension, the farmstead, exclusively written by Dr. Herbert-Davies.
Tenure:
Freehold with vacant possession upon completion.
Access:
Access to the property is currently via a right of way over the existing farm track. However, the sellers intend to create a new access route off the current track to separate ongoing farm traffic. This will allow the new owners to enjoy greater privacy, with the entrance to the house and outbuildings being independent from any farm-related activity.
The new owners of the property will be required to contribute towards the maintenance and repair costs of both the existing and any future access tracks, with the fee proportionate to their level of usage.
Boundaries:
The boundaries shown are approximate and open to negotiation.
Planning & Development:
The property holds strong potential for residential redevelopment, outbuilding conversions, and possible extensions, all subject to the appropriate planning permissions. No planning applications have been submitted to date, offering a clean slate for prospective buyers.
Services:
• Mains water and electricity (to house and farm buildings)
• Private septic tank drainage (farmhouse)
• Water usage is currently free for domestic and agricultural purposes, due to Yorkshire Water’s ownership of adjoining land.
Buyers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding service provision, suitability, and ongoing arrangements.
Council Tax:
Band D (Farmhouse)

The property is sold subject to all rights of way, easements, and public footpaths. A public footpath crosses part of the property.

Directions:
From Harrogate, head west on Otley Road (B6162) towards Beckwithshaw. At the mini roundabout in Beckwithshaw, turn right onto the B6161 (Pot Bank). Continue down the hill and over Pot Bridge. Shortly after reaching the brow of the hill, take the next left turn onto the unmarked farm track. Follow this track for approximately half a mile. Oatlands House will be located on the left-hand side, distinguished by its traditional stone façade and surrounding buildings.
