HISTORIC FORMER STATION HOUSE LAUNCHED FOR SALE IN NIDDERDALE
Dacre Son and Hartley created on 2nd July 2026
A remarkable property that is also a piece of Nidderdale’s railway heritage has come to the market, offering buyers the opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented family home with a fascinating past.
Station House, in Dacre Banks near Pateley Bridge, is for sale with Dacre, Son & Hartley, with a guide price of £975,000. The distinctive detached home, which was originally constructed as a station on part of the now redundant Victorian railway line connecting Harrogate and Pateley Bridge, has been sympathetically converted and extended over the years to create a substantial and versatile home of approximately 2,400 square feet.
Steeped in local history, yet thoughtfully adapted for modern living, the property combines period charm with the space and flexibility sought by today’s buyers.
Occupying mature private grounds in one of Nidderdale’s most desirable villages, the four to five-bedroom property provides well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a generous principal reception room, whilst a formal dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen diner designed to accommodate the demands of contemporary family life.
The layout also provides a high degree of adaptability, making the property equally suitable for growing families, multi-generational households or those seeking dedicated work-from-home space. Three bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including one with en-suite facilities, alongside a stylish shower room and separate WC. Two further double bedrooms occupy the first floor and are served by a substantial family bathroom.
A particularly charming garden room enjoys views across the landscaped grounds and towards the route of the former railway line.
Outside, the property enjoys an enviable degree of privacy and tranquillity. Extensive gravelled parking areas sit alongside a detached double garage, while to the rear, established gardens provide an attractive backdrop for outdoor entertaining and family life. Stone-flagged terraces, expansive lawns and woodland boundaries enhance the property’s appeal and reinforce its sense of seclusion.
Alison Reilly, Sales Manager at Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Pateley Bridge office, said: “Station House is one of those rare properties that immediately captures the imagination. Its origins as a former railway station give it a unique story, whilst the careful way it has evolved over the years means it functions exceptionally well as a modern family home.
“Properties that successfully combine heritage, character and practical living space are increasingly difficult to find. The flexibility of the accommodation, together with the beautiful gardens and highly desirable village setting, means we expect this home to generate significant interest from buyers both within Yorkshire and further afield.” For further information contact Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Pateley Bridge office on 01423 711 010 or visit 4 Bed, 3 Bath Property For Sale in Dacre Banks, Harrogate, HG3
