Brook House, Ainthorpe

Nestled in the peaceful village of Ainthorpe within the North York Moors National Park, this substantial stone-built former farmhouse combines period character with impressive environmental credentials and enjoys a generous south-facing garden.

Once the farmhouse to Beech Farm, one of the area's original agricultural holdings, Brook House offers surprisingly light and spacious accommodation through its open-plan layout and extensive glazing that frames stunning moorland views.

With an EPC rating of B, this property delivers exceptionally low running costs for a character home of this age and scale. Modern solar panels with battery storage and a dedicated EV charging point provide sustainable living without compromising period appeal.

The ground floor features a welcoming lounge with multifuel stove, beamed ceiling and stained-glass detailing. The country-style kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances and an oil-fired AGA-Rayburn, flowing through to the dining room, conservatory and glazed porch/utility room with WC.

The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms, both fitted with wardrobes, alongside a family bathroom with four-piece suite including bath and walk-in shower.

Two vaulted top-floor rooms share an en-suite shower room. Currently utilised as a third bedroom and home office, that could be changed to create a fourth bedroom, subject to approval.

Outside, a gated gravel driveway leads to rear parking and timber-framed outbuildings ideal for storage, hobbies or workshop use. Steps descend to lawned gardens with established borders.

The substantial solar system, whilst currently off-grid, could be grid-connected through inverter modification. All services have been comprehensively renewed.

Brook House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful moorland home offering modern comfort, low environmental impact and breathtaking National Park surroundings.
