Description

"Located on a 0.87 acre plot, the property comprises the remains of a stone built hunting lodge with lapsed planning permission for conversion into a stone built and part rendered three bedroom family home. It is located in a rural position in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, near to a sought after market town and its amenities.

The property
Located on the site of a former deer park, Dob Park Lodge is a historic, nationally important scheduled monument comprising the ruins of a stone built hunting lodge, potentially formerly used by medieval nobility. Originally built in the early 17th century by the Vavasour family and with a tower and turrets still surviving to their full or almost full height, the ruins display features typical of the country houses of the wealthy elite of the time.

The property benefits from lapsed planning permission 17 04907 FUL , comprising its repair and conversion to form a stone built and part rendered dwelling including the erection of a detached garage.

The plans show access steps rising to a double height entrance hall with fitted storage, a large sky lantern and a galleried landing over opening into a predominantly open plan space comprising a living room with feature fireplace and a cosy snug and a large kitchen breakfast room with space for a sizeable table. A rear spiral staircase accessing all levels including the roof and a separate turreted staircase accessing the accommodation levels would lead down to a lower ground floor hallway with cloakroom, fitted utility room and a door to the garden, opening to a large games room and library with garden access and a separate office.

On the first floor a galleried landing would give access to a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and two further bedrooms, the principal and the larger of the two remaining bedrooms being accessible from both the main landing and the spiral staircase, together with a family bathroom, planned to include a bath and separate shower.
