Pond Farm, Newton-On-Rawcliffe, Pickering, North Yorkshire

Pond Farm is a remarkable property that effortlessly combines the character of a historic Yorkshire longhouse with the practicality of extensive outbuildings, equestrian facilities and approximately 1.9 acres of beautifully maintained grounds.

Occupying a picturesque position within the village of Newton upon Rawcliffe, this exceptional home offers an enviable balance of rural tranquillity and excellent accessibility.

Believed to date back to the 17th Century, the Grade II listed longhouse has been sympathetically restored and reimagined to create a superb family home where original character blends seamlessly with high-quality contemporary finishes.

Traditional features including exposed beams, stone fireplaces and sash windows sit comfortably alongside thoughtfully designed living spaces created for modern family life.

The accommodation extends to almost 3,000 square feet and has been designed with flexibility in mind. A series of elegant reception rooms provide a choice of spaces for entertaining, relaxing or working from home, including a welcoming sitting room centred around an original stone fireplace, a formal dining room, a cosy snug with bespoke fitted cabinetry and a dedicated study.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the spectacular farmhouse kitchen. Created through the conversion of the original cow byre, this impressive room features a vaulted ceiling, bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops, a traditional AGA and a central island, while an entire glazed gable floods the room with natural light and frames uninterrupted views across the gardens and adjoining grazing land. Doors open directly onto the stone terrace, creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The first floor provides five generous double bedrooms, offering excellent accommodation for both family and guests. The principal suite enjoys vaulted ceilings, fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite, while further bedrooms benefit from individual character, fitted storage and additional en-suite facilities. A beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, serves the remaining accommodation.

Outside, the property is equally impressive. Landscaped cottage-style gardens wrap around the farmhouse, with mature planting, expansive lawns, productive fruit and vegetable areas and a generous stone-flagged terrace providing the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining.

Beyond the formal gardens lies approximately 1.4 acres of securely fenced grazing land, making the property particularly attractive for those with equestrian or smallholding interests.

A comprehensive collection of traditional and modern outbuildings further enhances the property's versatility.

A substantial range of stone buildings already benefits from full planning permission for conversion into a separate two-bedroom dwelling, presenting outstanding potential for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or holiday letting, subject to approved consent. In addition, a large barn, stables, workshop and agricultural buildings provide extensive storage, workshop and equestrian facilities.

Perfectly positioned on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, yet within easy reach of Pickering, Malton and York, Pond Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional country home where heritage, lifestyle and future potential combine to create something truly special.
