Cocksford, Stutton, Near Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, LS24

The sale of Renshaw offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family residence of some 3,738 sqft together with a detached double garage with room over, large detached barn with stabling, foaling box and tack room adjacent to which is a parking area, all suitable for those with equestrian interests. However, the barn could be suitable for other uses subject to planning approval, including conversion to a self-contained annex if preferred. The land is effectively divided into four large, railed fields, formerly Cocksford Golf Course until its closure in 2003. Renshaw itself was created from the eastern side of the clubhouse benefiting from an electric gated entrance, parking for multiple vehicles and views across the fields towards Cock Beck, and Renshaw Woods.

The property is part of a small hamlet of just 12 properties only about half a mile to the southwest of Stutton village which has a convenience store, café and Post Office. The market town of Tadcaster has a wider range of facilities including a variety of shops, Sainsbury’s supermarket, cafes, restaurants and public houses together with a broad selection of sporting amenities including Tadcaster swimming pool. The A1 and A64 are close by providing excellent access onto the region’s motorway infrastructure and to the principal Yorkshire centres of Leeds, Harrogate and York. There are intercity railway stations in both Leeds and York allowing convenient access to London’s Kings Cross in under 2 hours on some services.
