Thirley Cotes Farm is a superbly located smallholding, set within the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors National Park. It comprises a substantial Georgian farmhouse with walled garden and an extensive complex of traditional stone barns set around a courtyard garden. More modern buildings include a Dutch barn. Grass and woodland extend to nearly 16 acres.
Since acquiring the property around twenty years ago, the current owners have carried out significant improvements whilst respecting the character and integrity of this lovely period property. The house offers six bedroom accommodation arranged over three floors together with two reception rooms, farmhouse kitchen and large pantry. One of the first things to notice about Thirley Cotes Farm is the breathtaking setting and the far reaching views it enjoys in every direction. The house is Grade II Listed and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. It occupies an elevated position, with the majority of the land sloping gently in a southerly direction.
The outbuildings offer interesting possibilities for conversion, subject to securing the necessary consents; the traditional stone buildings amount to over 8,000 sq. ft (measured externally and ignoring any first floor areas). In addition there is a steel frame Dutch barn with lean-to and another lean-to across the rear elevation of the granary barn. Most of the land is permanent pasture (11.55 acres) with an area of woodland extending to 4.22 acres. The total site area, including the gardens and farmstead amounts to 17.07 acres (6.9 hectares). Rarely do properties of this type come to the open market. Viewing is strongly recommended.
Harwood Dale is a picturesque valley located on the eastern edge of the North York Moors National Park and home to some of the most beautiful countryside in the area. The Heritage Coastline is nearby and there is endless opportunity for outdoor recreation. A comprehensive range of facilities can be found in the nearby coastal towns of Scarborough and Whitby. The train station in Scarborough offers regular services to York, where there are direct services to London, Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
