FOR buyers who don’t believe that less is more (as the saying goes), Bartle Bridge may well be the perfect property, offering, as it does, not only a large family home, but also a well-established and successful business, plus manager’s accommodation – all in a stunning setting.

Situated close to the village of Great Ayton, the property overlooks open countryside with panoramic views of Roseberry Topping, Captain Cook’s Monument and the Cleveland Hills.

A highly desirable country residence, Bartle Bridge comprises more than 5,500ft² of accommodation, all maintained to a high standard with first-class fixtures and fittings throughout.

Briefly, the accommodation includes a ground floor entrance hall with feature oak staircase and oak panelling, formal sitting room, study, family room, music room, gym, laundry room, boot room, two cloakrooms, utility room and, at its heart, a light and airy dining kitchen with central island unit.

Upstairs are the family bathroom and eight bedrooms, five of which have en-suites.

These include the master bedroom with superb bespoke storage facilities, a dressing room and a large bathroom.

Externally, the property is complemented by large established gardens which are home to a stone patio with a seating and BBQ area that benefits from an outside kitchen area, plus garaging.

There is also a range of stabling and barns, which include four loose boxes and two large barns complete with internal workshops.

The boarding kennels and cattery business being offered for sale with this family home (or as a separate lot) is well established and has grown significantly over the last nine years, showing an annual upward trend in turnover.

Bartle Bridge is currently licensed for 120 dogs and 50 cats, with kennel accommodation arranged in three purpose-built, fully insulated and heated buildings.

The business offers further potential to expand through the retail of pet food, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

As if that were not enough, there is also a spacious two-bedroom first floor apartment with kitchen, living room and family bathroom for the manager of the business.

In all the property sits in 25 acres of land.

Bartle Bridge is on the market at a guide price of £2m.
