OUTBUILDINGS

Certainly in need of repair, a beautiful range of antique brick buildings, some of which reside under Pantile roofing. Other roofing has been replaced over the years. The buildings are somewhat lost within the undergrowth, are of a horseshoe shape and provide garaging, stabling and loft area. The buildings are beautifully positioned within the grounds and there is a good-sized yard area to the front of them.

Garden

Outside the property stands in approximately 1.4 acres of land. Please see the attached plans. The property has two driveways - the principal drive is centrally located, the other drive being to the rear of the outbuildings. To the side there is access from the road leading to a rear yard area. The remainder of the gardens and grounds are to some extent overgrown, however have worked recently to create pathways through the mature grounds to establish just how large the boundaries are. There are many options with this land and those who wish to create paddock land could do so with removal of undergrowth and the like. The boundaries to the rear join onto open farmland with long distance views across the farmland and beyond, creating an incredible outlook. The home has just one nearby neighbour and is a short drive away from the villages of Barlow and Camblesforth. The A19 is a 6 minute drive away and the motorway link and Selby itself a 15 minute drive away proving just how commutable yet rural this property is. These grounds certainly deserve viewing to be truly appreciated.
