Dean Head House



Settled down a private road in Horsforth, stands a spectacular home whose modest appearance belies its impressive nature within...you could be forgiven for missing it entirely from the road.



That, is precisely the point. Designed to blend unobtrusively into its natural surroundings, Dean Head House, the penultimate home on this old farmstead, is every inch the quaint country home on approach along the paddock lined drive to the front, revealing the full scope of its scale only from the rear.



Pull up through the electric gates and into the walled, courtyard, where the front of this property is home to more than just vehicles (there is room for multiple cars and an electric vehicle charging point); also accommodating a large picturesque garden with a pond the has recently become the residence to some ducks and Moorhens (also known as Fred and Sandra).



Make your way indoors, where the open, modern feeling is juxtaposed with the traditionality of the home’s exterior. Original stone flooring extends underfoot, while a feature bench offers a welcome main entrance for visitors where this handy boot room provides plenty of space to remove, hang up and stash coats and shoes.



Adjacent to the entrance is a separate WC and utility room offering convenience. There is also a CCTV you can control remotely from your phone.



Next to the entrance room, arrive at the heart of this home, the living kitchen and dining area. The perfect space for hosting gatherings, doubling as a sociable dining room with ample space for a large table beneath the contemporary spotlighting. Fitted cabinetry is also contemporary in its design over looking a large feature island that takes centre stage topped with a large piece of Quartz, a culinary dream. The kitchen area has been designed by the owners to match style and quality with practicality and convenience. Modern appliances to suit all occasions with a double oven, 5 ring induction hob, dish washer, plumbed American stye fridge freeer and a Quooker tap for instant hot, filtered and sparkling water. Storage aplenty is complimented with a large corner pantry cupboard.

Piecing this room together, is a sitting area poised with a mesmerising wood-burner. The ideal area to throw up your feet and relax. All the while, underfloor heating throughout this whole room, keeps your toes warm.



Cross this room and enter a sitting area, again adorned with a wood burner, this area is dressed with more character features including exposed beams to the ceiling, a stone fireplace, deep window sill and a built in corner dresser. A more informal area to sit back and relax. Before moving into the other reception rooms, take the hidden staircase down to the cellar with a dome vaulted ceiling currently used as a wine cellar. 

Back up, and just off the sitting room, is a well-positioned formal lounge, the type of room you settle down, switch off and enjoy some peace and quiet. It’s offers comfort with a feature gas fireplace and has patio doors leading to the rear garden.



The final feature of the ground floor is the house gym and games room. Both well-appointed and positioned ideally to one side of the home with separate double patio doors leading to the front. This space offers flexibility for a new owner to either keep or change the use to fit their lifestyle like a home/small business. 



Return to the sitting area and follow the open staircase to the first floor.

To the right, the landing hallway leads to an ideal guest room. The fourth bedroom is located away from the rest of the rooms on this floor, with views over the rear garden and its own private ensuite with walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

Return back on the hallway and on to the right you’re met with a slight step up and the fifth bedroom. Currently used as a music room and would double up just as well as an office or child’s bedroom with views over the front garden.



Heading back to the landing, make your way into the third bedroom. The low windows deliver light through and uninterrupted views on the front garden and surrounding countryside. Sense the soothing ambiance of tranquillity at Dean Head House, a home sequestered from the hustle and bustle, in tune with nature and the landscape upon which it is built. This room also features its own ‘Jack & Jill’ ensuite with underfloor heating, a spa bath, walk in shower, wash basin and WC.



The last room on this floor is the primary bedroom suite. A capacious sanctuary, furnished with an open dressing area containing fitted wardrobes and drawers, ensuring storage is in plentiful supply. 



Slumber awaits in the primary bedroom, where windows draw the garden views ever closer, enhancing the comfort of this calming space. Settle down to a cosy night's sleep as the wind chases itself outside the solid stone walls of this home.



Make your way through the double aspect bedroom and freshen up in the beautiful bathroom. A spacious room with underfloor heating, a wet-room shower, wide wash basin inset within vanity unit storage and freestanding bath alongside a WC. Glimpse the front garden with pond and rolling countryside through the deep-set window, cosy and warm indoors as the weather patterns form below.



Cross the hallway and ascend to the second floor. A bedroom of two halves occupies the whole floor. Bursting with eave storage, this room has light inflowing through Velux windows on both the front and rear of the vaulted ceilings. With a comfortable area to unwind and sleep adjacent to a large sitting area that is currently set up as an office. This room will be a teenagers dream.



Step into nature:



Accessible from the rear at Dean Head House, the garden, designed and updated by the owners, was once the setting to stunning wedding and offers the new owner the opportunity to relax, entertain and host. With a south facing aspect, you are first met with modern tiled patio with custom pizza oven and bar stool seating along with a large area suited for dining, sitting and sunbathing.
