Description

A superb opportunity to purchase a detached six bedroom farmhouse, grazing land and buildings on a plot of around 8acres, in need of total renovation in a fantastic accessible position on the outskirts of Thirsk. Sold as seen the property would suit cash buyers.

Description - Codbeck Farm is a special place that offers a unique opportunity for purchasers. An idyllic place to raise a family, the property offers an exciting proposition for those with vision. The property land and buildings are all in need of updating and refurbishment and must remain as a whole, however the entire space could be amazing with the correct amount of investment and planning. With a large detached farmhouse, modern agricultural building, pole barn, grazing land, woodland and beck and additional gardens, the property briefly comprises:
Farmhouse
To the ground floor: Entrance porch leading to entrance hall with return staircase off, front to back living room, stairs to drawing room, dining room, living dining kitchen, utility room, rear entrance hall, cloakroom w.c and access to back stairs, garage/store.
To the first floor: Six bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Outbuildings - Modern detached workshop/shed 23.76 m x 21.02m with mezzanine, power and light and roller access doors. There is a large Pole Barn and number of greenhouses. There are also a number of brick built dilapidated stables and stores.

Land - Codbeck Farm is accessed off a shared private tree lined driveway. This turns to an access track which meanders through woodland. In total there are grazing paddocks of 5.3 acres plus an additional 2.15 acres of garden and woodland. These areas are suffering from neglect and will need maintenance.

The Appeal Of Our Home - The Vendors Insight - Codbeck Farm is a charming rural property and location which offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. Its privacy and tranquillity are amazing and it was a special place to grow up. The transport links are fantastic and it is very quick to access local amenities.

Situation And Amenities - The property is positioned in a private location access off the A168 and the B1448 junction. It is therefore extremely accessible for the motorway networks. The nearest town is Thirsk, a thriving market town with an expanding array of amenities. Thirsk has excellent transport links as the town has its own train station with regular trains to London Kings Cross, Newcastle and Edinburgh making it ideal for commuters.

Services - The property has mains electricity and water and a private septic tank. The vendors are unsure of the location and it must be assumed that this does not meet current legislation and will need replacing.
