Under Offer
A unique opportunity to acquire a flexible prospect of substantial, stone, Grade II listed farmhouse enjoying far-reaching countryside views. There is the option to purchase, either alone of alongside the farmhouse, a farm steading which benefits from planning permission to create three 3-4 bedroom dwellings with ancillary garaging. In addition, there is the potential to purchase further land extending to approximately 8.24 acres.
Situation and Amenities
High Ellington is a lower Wensleydale village in North Yorkshire, with countryside walks on the doorstep. The Georgian market town of Masham is only about 2.5 miles away and has one of the largest marketplaces in North Yorkshire with a good range of independent and national retailers, cafés, public houses, the well-renowned Black Sheep Brewery, restaurants, a Co-Operative and doctors' surgery. The Swinton Park Hotel and Country Club and Masham Golf Club are also in close proximity.
There are primary schools in Masham and secondary schools in nearby Ripon and Bedale, including Ripon Grammar School.
The market town of Leyburn, 9 miles away, also has many excellent local and artisan shops, a weekly outdoor market, filling station, doctors surgery, dentist, primary and secondary schools and a sixth form college. It is also home to one of the largest auction houses in the UK, Tennants Auctioneers on the eastern outskirts of the town.
There are also various independent schools within striking distance including Aysgarth Preparatory School, Queen Mary s School for girls at Thirsk, Queen Ethelburgas College and further opportunities in York and Harrogate.
The village has relatively easy access to the A1, approximately 10 miles away. The nearest train station is at Northallerton (about 17 miles) with a regular service on the East Coast Main Line to York, Newcastle, London or Edinburgh. Leeds Bradford is the nearest international airport.
Firth House Farm Steading Development
The steading at Firth House Farm comprises an extensive range of modern and traditional stone farm buildings with a large courtyard and good road access.
Planning consent (ref: 21/05079/FUL) has been granted to convert the traditional stone buildings into three, 3 & 4-bedroom residential units together with ancillary garage and storage space in the old Dutch Barn. Full details and drawings are available on the North Yorkshire Planning portal, but copies are also available from the Selling Agents.
The site itself is most attractive with a considerable amount of surrounding space, allowing for large plots and communal areas. Once the site is cleared, it will show a pleasant view to the north and east.
There is the opportunity to purchase the farm steading with planning permission, without the farmhouse. Please note the farm steading and land can be purchased in isolation, however the farmhouse is not available without the additional purchase of the development site.
Additional Land Opportunity
In addition to the steading, the vendor has agreed to make available to buy alongside them, some or all of the land highlighted in blue in the sale particulars. The entire field extends to about 8.24 acres (3.33ha). Interested parties should discuss their interest separately with the Selling Agents.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS LAND IS NOT AVAILABLE SEPARATELY AND CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED ALONG WITH THE FARMHOUSE AND STEADING. THE LAND HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN IS AVAILABLE BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION.
Agent's Note
The farmhouse is also available to purchase in addition to the farm development, however this will not be available without the sale of the farm steading. There is a separate listing with the farmhouse included.
