Fylingdales, Whitby

Coming onto the market for the first time in over 70 years, Sunnyside Farm is a wonderfully unspoilt Grade II listed farmhouse which offers an exceptional outlook with enormous potential for improvement and refurbishment. Set in 3.3 acres the property is ideal for buyers looking for a true lifestyle property, with an ethos on the good life, or as a smallholding or equestrian property. In an area well known for its history and cracking sea and coastal views, Sunnyside Farm has both of these traits in abundance. The view from the front of the house, which takes in a broad sweep of countryside, across the coast to Ravenscar is simply superb and can be enjoyed from almost every room in the house.

Built from dressed local stone under a tile roof, the farmhouse has a rich and varied history and dates back to the early 18th century, with later alterations and extensions creating a distinctive house of two halves. Well deserving of its listed status, the property exhibits a number of character details, including an original range to the kitchen and unusual tripartite sash windows to the front. Adjoining the house is a substantial range of traditional buildings, which could offer subject to all necessary consents and permissions potential to create additional or ancillary accommodation to the main house.

In need of refurbishment throughout, the house provides over 2,400 square feet of accommodation, arranged over three floors. In brief: boot room with cloakroom, farmhouse kitchen, breakfast room, central hallway with pantry and two front facing reception rooms. On the First floor are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and a further main house bathroom. To the attic floor are two further rooms.

In all Sunnyside Farm sits within 3.3 acres of extremely well established and attractively landscaped gardens and land. Of this 3 acres comprise grazing land, with a separate access point off Sled Gate. A number of useful traditional buildings stand within the garden, including potting shed, workshop, log store and garden store.

Sunnyside Farm is located on the western fringes of Fylingthope, a small village just 5 miles south of Whitby and situated just above the very picturesque coastal village of Robin Hoods Bay. Within Fylingthorpe there is a good level of local amenities including village shop, public house, doctor’s surgery, primary school and Fyling Hall which is a highly regarded private school. Whitby lies just 5 miles away and provides a fascinating mix of eclectic shops and high-quality restaurants. The historic City of York is around 40 miles distant and provides a further large range of services and amenities including a mainline train station providing links to London and Edinburgh within 2 hours.
