Cropton, Near Pickering

Full Description:

This superb lifestyle property occupies an enviable position within the village of Cropton and comprises of a stone built farmhouse with adjoining holiday cottage/annexe, a range of outbuildings and stabling, CL caravan site and extensive paddock land, amounting to approximately 10.5 acres or thereabouts.

Accommodation within the farmhouse briefly comprises: entrance hall, living room, farmhouse kitchen with Aga, rear lobby, utility room, first floor landing, three bedrooms, bathroom and WC. At ground floor level a further lobby connects with the holiday cottage, allowing it to be used as an extension to the main house, if required. This part of the property comprises: entrance hall, cloakroom, open-plan living kitchen, large double bedroom and en-suite bathroom. Central heating is oil fired throughout and windows are double glazed.

The holiday cottage has been successfully let out by the current owner providing a healthy income and is in an ideal area for such an enterprise with the North York Moors National Park right on the doorstep.

The principal driveway extends along the northern side of the farmhouse and sweeps around the rear to a generous, gravelled parking area with adjacent garaging. A little further west is a quality range of Goodricks stables with five loose boxes and a hay barn behind.

Beyond here the land extends in a north and westerly direction with the first field being used as a CL (Certified Location) caravan site. The area is immaculately maintained, has five electric hookups and provides a further income stream.

The property had the advantage of an additional driveway, slightly further to the south, which can be used to access the land and CL site independently, so as to cause no disruption to the enjoyment of the house and gardens.

The property is a registered smallholding and the land is divided into a series of useful grass paddocks as well as a copse of maturing trees. From the far field there are delightful views across the valley towards the village of Appleton le Moors.
