This charming farmhouse, complemented by several outbuildings, presents a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment in the picturesque North Yorkshire countryside. Situated on the outskirts of the desirable village of Stillington and close to Easingwold, this property is set within its own private gardens and accessed via a secluded driveway that enhances its tranquil setting. The elevated position offers delightful southerly views towards the historic City of York.
Stonecote Farm, constructed approximately 40 years ago with stone under a pantiled roof, features spacious and adaptable ground floor living areas. The layout includes a well-proportioned kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, a dining room with direct access to a patio, and an expansive lounge that runs the length of the home. A versatile four-piece bathroom suite completes this level. The first floor boasts five bedrooms, each with striking views that capture the surrounding landscape.
While the property is certainly livable as-is, it possesses significant potential for enhancement or reconfiguration, subject to obtaining appropriate planning permissions. There is also an opportunity to explore subdividing the estate into separate plots for further development—a conversation worth having with the relevant agents.
The exterior grounds are particularly noteworthy, featuring mature trees and a lovely pond surrounded by lawns that create an idyllic outdoor retreat. Notably, planning permission has been granted for changing the use of one outbuilding (the Calf Barn) into a residential dwelling. Additionally, other structures on-site present further possibilities for conversion into additional living spaces.
The total acreage of approximately 7.55 acres includes not only the main residence but also substantial agricultural buildings—over 6,300 square feet—offering flexibility in terms of use or redevelopment potential. This includes a steel portal-framed general-purpose building and a sizable calf shed already positioned for transformation under existing planning approvals.
Conveniently located between Easingwold and Stillington, both villages provide essential amenities including shops and public transport links to York. For those commuting or seeking quick access to urban centers, York railway station offers regular services to major cities such as Edinburgh and London.
With its blend of character features and promising development capacity in a scenic rural location, this property is poised for both personal enjoyment and profitable investment potential.
