This Grade II listed farmhouse presents a significant opportunity for restoration in a secluded rural setting, approximately 15 miles north of York. The property is accessible via over half a mile of field tracks and is set within approximately 3.1 acres of land, accompanied by more than 6,500 sq ft of outbuildings that have suffered considerable neglect. Originally constructed in the early 1800s, the main residence features distinctive architectural elements, including three formal reception rooms with open fireplaces and a small kitchen equipped with a Rayburn Royal range and an original bread oven. The upstairs layout comprises four bedrooms connected by separate staircases and includes a bathroom awaiting modernisation.
The absence of central heating and the poor condition of the windows highlight the need for substantial upgrades throughout. Externally, beyond the south-facing garden area lies a range of dilapidated buildings like former cow sheds and grain storage facilities, which are currently structurally unsafe. This extensive property offers potential investors a chance to bring back its historical charm while navigating necessary planning permissions for any alterations given its listed status.
It is advisable for interested parties to consult with experts on listed buildings to fully understand the implications and opportunities for renovation. Given this unique location and character, Throstle Nest awaits a visionary buyer willing to invest in its revival.
