This spacious farmhouse, steeped in history and dating back to the mid-18th Century, presents an intriguing opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors. As a Grade II listed property constructed from local sandstone with a traditional clay tiled roof, it retains many period characteristics including panelled doors and sash windows with shutters, yet offers substantial potential for further enhancement. Despite some recent upgrades, the interior showcases elements that could benefit from modernisation and personal touches.
Upon entry, the hall features polished blockwood flooring and a captivating turned staircase. The expansive lounge boasts a charming carved stone fireplace and large windows flooding the room with natural light. Adjacent is a well-sized sitting room with additional character features such as a picture rail and a multi-fuel stove.
The dining room includes a stylish tiled fireplace that balances modernity with tradition, while the farmhouse kitchen—featuring an Aga within a stone inglenook—offers ample space for further development and customisation. An annex previously created from outbuildings provides additional living space complete with kitchenette facilities, presenting an ideal opportunity for holiday let conversion or guest accommodation.
On the first floor, spacious bedrooms await personalisation alongside generous bathroom facilities. With extensive attics potentially usable for further living areas or storage solutions, this property can easily adapt to various needs.
The external area enhances this property's appeal, featuring gardens bordered by paddocks and woodland. Notably, the traditional coach house structures offer significant scope for refurbishment into additional living spaces or creative uses (subject to planning consent). With just over five acres of land comprising gardens, woodland and paddock space, there is both scope for agricultural use or eco-friendly endeavors.
Given its historic significance—the site of an old Cistercian Abbey—and its picturesque surroundings within North Yorkshire's scenic locale, this farmhouse stands as a remarkable canvas awaiting new life through thoughtful renovation.
