Location Overview - Located in a remote location and only accessed via a right of way over 0.5 of a mile of privately owned land and 2 unadopted field tracks, Throstle Nest is situated around 2 miles from Raskelf, 4 miles off the A19, 10 miles off J48 of the A1(M) and 15 miles north of York.
Grade Ii Listing - Throstle Nest was believed to have been originally built in the early 1800's and has been designated as a Grade II listed building. Prospective buyers are advised to research and consider all the pros and cons of buying a historic property before committing to view as you will need to get permission from your local authority for any alterations that you may want to carry out, including extensions, changes to the internal layout and even putting up a satellite dish.
We also strongly recommend that prospective buyers should instruct or consult surveyors and planning consultants who specialise in listed buildings prior to submitting an offer.
Inside - An entrance hall with central staircase leads off into 3 formal reception rooms with open fires, a store room and a small kitchen with a Rayburn Royal range, original bread oven, pantry and a wc leading off.
The first floor features a quirky configuration of 4 bedrooms (accessed by 2 separate staircases) and a bathroom with a pampas coloured suite. The first floor can also be accessed by a 3rd staircase which we believe to be behind the wallpapered over door in the smaller bedroom.
It should also be noted that there is no central heating and the windows are all in a poor state of repair and in need of replacing.
Outside - The south facing area of front garden extends to around .33 of an acre and the 6,527 sq ft (606.4 sq m) of depilated outbuildings which include a range of former cow sheds, part covered 2,516 sq ft (233.8 sq m) fold yard and a 2 storey high 1,775 sq ft (164.9 sq m) former grain store, complete with the 6 original metal silos and pump.
In total the property stands within approximately 3.10 acres which is currently overgrown.
*** PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE OUTBUILDINGS ARE STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE AND ACCESS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED ***
Viewings - All viewings are strictly by appointment through Stephensons in Easingwold and all viewers are reminded that a 4x4 vehicle is recommended to cross the 2 field tracks and all of the outbuildings are unsafe and must not be entered without the estate agents being present.
Directions - We recommend using the what3words app (streetcar.expecting.scrum) to find this property but please note that navigation is possible via Google Maps, unfortunately the Apple Maps will take you to a number of dead ends.

Follow the single track road for a further 1.4 miles before turning right into a single track no through road (Raskelf Road) and continue for 0.4 of a mile until you reach half a dozen wheelie bins. At this point bear right onto the private field track and continue for 0.2 of a mile before bearing right at the sharp left hand bend and continue along second field track for 0.3 of mile before turning left, crossing the small bridge and continuing up the track to the farmhouse.
