Cocksford, Stutton, Near Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, LS24

The sale of Renshaw offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial four bedroom barn conversion together with approximately 18 acres of land and a 220m2 steel framed barn, in a beautiful peaceful and private yet convenient location within an easy commute to Leeds and York.

Briefly, the accommodation on the ground floor features a large sitting room, an open plan family dining/living kitchen, snug, study, utility room, boot room and a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room. A further large reception room is currently used as a formal dining room and library but also ideal for other uses such as home cinema, gym, snooker room or children’s playroom. Upstairs the accommodation comprises the principal bedroom with en-suite, dressing room and a large wrap-around balcony enjoying views across the valley and two additional spacious bedrooms served by the house bathroom.

Outside, there are well-stocked gardens, a terraced area directly off the kitchen convenient for outdoor dining, a large garage with hobby room above, and ample parking for several vehicles. The gardens directly adjoin 18 acres of land bordered on the east by Cock Beck, which is planted with stands of mature silver birch, oak, rowan, maple, hawthorn, willow and wild cherry trees. The land has been used for grazing sheep and ponies which were conveniently stabled in the 220m2 steel framed barn. Lodden stable partitions are separately available for equine use, but the barn could be used as a large garage store or converted to a self-contained annex for multi-generational living, holiday letting or an entirely separate dwelling, subject to planning approval, presenting an excellent potential investment opportunity. There is power and water
connected to the barn.

Renshaw is part of a small development of 12 properties in the Cock Beck valley and is accessed by a private driveway with electric entrance gates and ample parking. About half a mile to the southwest is Stutton village which has a convenience store, café, and Post Office.

There are intercity railway stations in both Leeds and York allowing access to London’s Kings Cross within 2 hours. Tadcaster Grammar School is a 10 minute drive and York’s private schools are within easy reach.
