Lister Haigh reveals two characterful homes in North Yorks

Ranging from a newly built detached house near York to a period cottage close to Harrogate , the say Lister Haigh reflect a growing appetite for lifestyle-led moves, where buyers are seeking a balance between countryside surroundings, heritage appeal and strong transport connectivity.

Middleton House in Sheriff Hutton, near York, for sale with a guide price of £875,000, is a newly built five-bedroom detached home which extends to almost 2,500 sq ft and forms an exclusive development of six houses in the sought-after village.

Designed for modern family living, the property combines contemporary energy-efficient technology – including air source heating, solar panels and EV charging – with a traditional village setting overlooking the historic Sheriff Hutton Castle.

The house includes three reception rooms, a large open-plan living kitchen with bi-fold doors onto the gardens, and five double bedrooms.

Between Harrogate and Knaresborough, Pond View Cottage is priced at £400,000. The stone-built period cottage occupies a secluded semi-rural position adjoining woodland and a pond, whilst still offering convenient access to nearby rail links and the A1(M).

Set within generous west-facing gardens, the two-bedroom cottage also offers scope for extension and further improvement, subject to securing the necessary planning permissions. The property is approached via a shared gravel drive and includes private parking and two garages.

Associate and residential principal at Lister Haigh, Nick Talbot, said: “Across Yorkshire and the North East we are continuing to see strong levels of interest in homes that combine character and setting with practical connectivity.

“Buyers are increasingly focused on lifestyle, whether that means a village community close to York, a semi-rural retreat between Harrogate and Knaresborough. What links these properties is that they offer individuality and long-term appeal in locations where demand consistently remains strong.”
