This Grade II listed farmhouse presents a rare opportunity for renovation enthusiasts seeking a project in a secluded rural setting, approximately 15 miles north of York. Accessible only via private field tracks, the property occupies around 3.1 acres and includes over 6,500 sq ft of neglected outbuildings which could offer significant potential for redevelopment or conversion. Built in the early 1800s, Throstle Nest is rich in historical character but requires substantial updates to bring it back to life. The internal layout currently features an entrance hall leading to three formal reception rooms with original open fires, a small kitchen equipped with a Rayburn range and bread oven, and four bedrooms accessed by multiple staircases — all awaiting modernisation. The absence of central heating and the poor condition of windows further highlight the need for extensive refurbishment. Outside, the property’s garden areas are overgrown, while the outbuildings are structurally unsound and should not be accessed without supervision. Potential buyers are encouraged to consult with specialists in listed properties regarding necessary permissions for renovations and improvements. Given its unique location and historical significance, this property offers incredible investment potential for those willing to undertake extensive restoration work.
