Take 5 | Homes that could feature in Wuthering Heights
As one of the greatest love stories of all time, the cinematic adaptation of Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, has become a trending topic, with much speculation on how the 19th-century Gothic tale will be retold. Beyond the film’s romance, costumes, contemporary soundtrack and storytelling, it is impossible not to admire the striking backdrops that feature throughout.
Set and filmed in the Yorkshire Dales, the rolling mist, open fields and dramatic cliff faces shape the atmosphere of the story. From converted farmhouses to manor houses, we have selected five properties currently for sale within the Yorkshire Dales. Some showcase period features that would sit seamlessly within the upcoming romance, while others offer contemporary architecture, all overlooking the very landscapes originally described by Emily Brontë.
Tipperthwaite Lodge
Settle, North Yorkshire
This period stone barn has been thoughtfully updated for 21st-century living, offering open-plan spaces and four generously sized bedrooms. The highlight, however, is its far-reaching views across the surrounding North Yorkshire countryside, including the Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The East House
Northallerton, North Yorkshire
Within easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales lies The East House, an impressive double-fronted Georgian home. We love how this property blends classic period features, including large sash windows, open fireplaces and a sweeping staircase worthy of a historical blockbuster, with modern touches suited to contemporary family living. Positioned in the heart of the village, it also benefits from proximity to the mainline train station.
The Hay Barn
Follifoot, North Yorkshire
A home of two halves, The Hay Barn showcases a clever architectural approach that has revitalised a detached barn. Beyond the stone façade, the interior introduces striking contemporary elements such as bronze detailing, Thermos wood panelling, tinted aluminium windows and black metal beams. These features work in harmony with the surrounding natural landscape, views of which can be enjoyed throughout the home.
North Lodge
Ripon, North Yorkshire
From the outside, North Lodge appears to carry the period grandeur found in many of its rooms, but this home offers far more than first impressions suggest. The current owners have introduced playful and creative elements, including bold pops of colour and distinctive patterns - standout features include a colour-drenched bedroom and a zoo-inspired mural. Beyond the main house, the grounds include an annexe, a detached brick building, and an outdoor kitchen area, creating impressive spaces for entertaining family and friends.
Brough Hall
Brough Park, North Yorkshire
This home offers a wonderful slice of Yorkshire life. Found in a historic Grade I Listed country house, this two-bedroom apartment offers a manageable home within a grand period property. Set between the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Park, you have the best of the county’s landscapes on your doorstep.
