Description

This historic 18th-century farmhouse, accompanied by a range of barns, offers a rare chance for substantial renovation and development across over 11 acres of picturesque land. Having served as a cherished family home for five decades, the Grade II listed residence is now in need of extensive refurbishment. With planning permission already granted for the transformation of the neighbouring barns into a generous two-storey dwelling, this property provides an excellent foundation for those looking to create a remarkable country retreat. The farmhouse itself spans approximately 3535 sq ft and is complemented by traditional barns that can be converted into living space, making it perfect for multi-generational families or as an income-generating opportunity. Nestled along the banks of the River Ure, this property boasts stunning views and ample outdoor space, including established gardens and a tennis court. The adjacent fields enhance the rural character and privacy of the estate. Within close proximity to local amenities in Lower Dunsforth and surrounding areas such as Boroughbridge and Harrogate, this farmhouse presents not just a home but an investment in future potential. The entirety of this unique Yorkshire farmstead represents an incredible undertaking for renovators or investors keen on creating something truly special in a sought-after countryside setting.
