Description

This detached six-bedroom farmhouse, set on approximately 8 acres of land, presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. Located on the outskirts of Thirsk, the property is in need of total refurbishment, making it ideal for cash buyers looking to create their dream home. The spacious farmhouse features an entrance porch leading to a hall with a return staircase, a front-to-back living room, a drawing room, a dining room, and a large living kitchen. The first floor accommodates six bedrooms and two bathrooms, providing ample space for family living. In addition to the main house, there are several outbuildings including a modern workshop with power and light, a pole barn, and dilapidated stables. The grazing land and gardens, while currently neglected, hold significant potential for restoration and development. The property is accessed via a private tree-lined driveway, ensuring privacy while remaining conveniently close to local amenities and transport links. With the right vision and investment, Codbeck Farm could be transformed into a stunning rural retreat.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Codbeck Farm presents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial six-bedroom farmhouse set on an expansive 8-acre plot, though it is in need of extensive refurbishment. The property, with its dated interiors and signs of neglect throughout, offers a blank canvas for those with vision, allowing for a complete transformation that could significantly increase its value. The large detached farmhouse, alongside various outbuildings and ample land, provides a rare chance to create a family home tailored to your needs in a peaceful rural setting.

However, the price of £850,000 at £304/sqf is above the local average of £286/sqf, indicating limited price/value potential in this instance. This combined with the heavy project scale means that while the property could become a beautiful space, it will require a substantial investment of time and resources. Additionally, the current condition may deter some buyers, so a keen eye for renovation and a solid plan are essential to unlock the full potential of this farm.

Key opportunities

  • Large plot size allows for creative landscaping and outdoor space enhancements.
  • Potential to modernize the interior layout and design of the farmhouse.
  • Scope to restore the outbuildings for functional or recreational use.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and an extensive works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
