Goathland, North York Moors National Park

A privately situated lifestyle property set in 10 acres which offers an unusually versatile arrangement of space and huge potential for adaptation to suit a wide variety of needs. Birch House Farm sits in a sheltered position off Green End, approximately 2 miles to the north of the well-regarded village of Goathland. The main farmhouse comprises a traditional stone property with accommodation amounting to 1,100 square feet. Adjoining the house are a range of original buildings, which in all provide 1,474 square feet in total and offer scope to be used to enlarge the main house into, or as a separate annexe accommodation, subject to any necessary planning consents. In brief the accommodation comprises; garden room, study, dual aspect sitting room, breakfast kitchen and cloakroom. On the First Floor are two large double bedrooms, the house bathroom and a further room which was intended to be a further shower room. Converted from traditional outbuildings the annexe provides an exceptionally large reception room adjoining studio and storeroom and on the first floor a large room, ideal as an occasional bedroom.
 The lifestyle appeal of the property lies in the level of land, 10 acres in total and a pair of timber holiday lodges; Hollyhock Lodge and Foxglove Lodge. Foxglove Lodge requires fitting out and Hollyhock Lodge is a beautifully appointed and very popular holiday lodge, which historically has had excellent occupancy and a healthy turnover. This element of the property could be further exploited, with infrastructure in place in the form of drainage, services and landscaping to expand this further, subject to any necessary planning permissions and consents. The property faces southwest with an elevated position overlooking Grosmont and with exceptional views across the Moors from all angles. Set in just over 10 acres the property stands by itself with formal gardens to the immediate front and rear the remaining land being mature woodland and grassland. Ideal for those looking for their very own slice of ‘The Good Life’. LOCATION  Nearby, Beck Hole is a pretty moorland village characterised by a range of traditional cottages, the Birch Hall Inn and adjoining shop, intersected by the Ellerbeck. Close by is the well-known village of Goathland, with Whitby lying only 9 miles to the North. The opportunities for outdoor pursuits in the North York Moors are endless, with miles of walks and riding stretching out for miles from the doorstep of Birch House.
