This remarkable home designed by an award winning Harrogate architect sits within a Special Landscape Area of Greenbelt land, next to a site of special scientific interest.

The energy-efficient property is a home in harmony with nature, with an insulated meadow grass roof and triple-glazed windows to the south and west with lovely countryside views.

High Stables, designed by Ruth Donnelly of Doma Architects, gained approval from the government planning inspectorate due to its outstanding design and sustainability credentials.

The single-storey, L-shape home was built in 2017, using structural insulated panels and Canadian red cedar cladding, which ages to a silvery-grey hue.

Designed for year-round comfort, itfeatures a ground source heat pump for underfloor heating, high insulation levels, and an airtight construction.

A mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system ensures fresh, healthy air circulation, while the property’s own wastewater treatment plant adds to its self-sufficiency.

Solar panels further enhance the home's eco-friendly credentials, and it holds the remainder of a Global 10 year warranty.

The main wing of the home includes a wide hallway that leads to a spacious, open plan living area, a guest bedroom or tv room, a shower room and a drying room.

Within the showpiece kitchen are fitted units, with high-quality integrated appliances that include a Samsung fridge-freezer, combination gas and induction hob with hot plate, wine cooler, oven, and microwave.

A peninsula bar adds an extra breakfast bar.

Kitchen space then flows to the large living room, where a dividing chimney breast houses a Stovax wood-burning fire.

Triple-glazed sliding doors open to a sheltered decking area overlooking the landscaped wildflower garden.

A smaller wing contains a main bedroom with an en-suite dressing room and shower, with a further guest bedroom and a house bathroom.

Additional facilities include a plant room and porch, with a separate art studio with spectacular views over the Wharfe Valley. This could be a home office or additional bedroom, if required.

Landscaped gardens feature a gravel forecourt with parking and power point, a wildflower meadow, lavender borders, and a summer house, with a stable block and open carport too.

Beyond the gardens is a four-acre grass paddock.

Situated just outside the picturesque village of Linton, the property has abundant wildlife within its surroundings, and is within easy reach of main transport links.
