A wonderfully situated detached residence with significant ancillary accommodation, leisure suite and further buildings, standing in some 15 acres of dramatic North Yorkshire countryside near Stokesley. Offering scope for general improvement and updating and first time for sale in 50 years.
Situation
High Farm House was originally constructed in the 1970's to replace an earlier farmstead and is positioned to take full advantage of its elevated position with a breathtaking backdrop and enchanting views. The enticing country setting belies its convenience a short drive from the villages of Ingleby Greenhow and Great Broughton, 10 –15 minutes drive from a wide range of facilities in both Stokesley and picturesque Great Ayton. The Teeside conurbation is within comfortable commuting distance as are Northalllerton and Darlington, both having stations on the East Coast mainline with connections to York and London, Newcastle and Edinburgh. There is also an increasing number of flight options from Teeside airport.
Accommodation
A unique house in an equally unique location, High Farm House offers considerable flexibility with the opportunity to improve and update to suit modern day living requirements. The existing accommodation is well presented and extends overall to some 6592 sq ft (612.4 sq m) affording style and elegance and whilst generous in size, the property remains of manageable proportions.
There is a lovely meandering driveway approach with an immediate sense of arrival through maturing woodland that affords a high degree of privacy as one leads up to the front entrance. The formal central reception hall naturally leads to a large formal drawing room and then to the spacious dining room that also connects to a strategically positioned conservatory which naturally catches the late afternoon sun. There is an elegant sitting room in library style that also leads off the reception hall as does a nicely proportioned breakfast kitchen with windows overlooking the walled courtyard. With a large utility room and ancillary storerooms, an inner hallway leads to a wonderfully flexible studio/games room, ideal as additional family space with multiple double doors opening to the courtyard and perfect for entertaining purposes. A hidden doorway leads to a leisure suite comprising gym area, a sauna and swim lane. This space lends itself to the creation of further living accommodation if required for the likes of dependent relatives.
The first floor combination is no less impressive with a generous master suite of bedroom, dressing room and bathroom, a guest suite of bedroom and bathroom plus 2 further bedrooms serviced by a house bathroom.
Externally, the flexibility of this impressive country house continues with an integral car port and storage plus a substantial general purpose building of some 2700 sq ft (250.83 sq m) incorporating multi vehicle workshop space and a generous garaging provision plus mezzanine space over. There is also attached open fronted storage which incorporates an inspection pit.
The professionally managed grounds of High Farm House have developed over many years and encompass formal lawned areas, the walled courtyard, kitchen garden plus woodland and grassland, with the holding extending overall to some 15.05 acres (6.09ha).
