A luxurious home with die-for interiors is on the market in sought-after Sicklinghall near Harrogate.
Former farmhouse, Paddock House, has been transformed into a stunning modern property with dazzling interior touches that give it definite wow-factor sparkle. It is on the market for offers over £1,995,000.
Modernity combines with a fascinating past for the house too - it was bought in 1920 by a local architect and converted into a Manor House - adding the Stirling Castle chimney pots and balustrades around the terrace.
Estate agent Knight Frank says the property is, 'arguably the finest example of country contemporary living and perfectly positioned with far reaching views over lower Wharfedale'.
