Sam House Farm, Raskelf, York, North Yorkshire, YO61

Farmhouse and extensive buildings with consent for residential redevelopment in a private rural position within the Vale of York.

Description

Sam House Farm is situated just over two miles southwest of the village of Raskelf and 17 miles north of York, in the Vale of York. The property is well positioned between several popular market towns and almost equidistant between York and Harrogate, ideal for commuting. The East Coast mainline links York to London Kings Cross in under 2 hours. The property also benefits from good access to both the A19 approximately 3 miles away and the A168, linking to the A1 and beyond.

A network of picturesque villages and landscapes add to the appeal of the area which lies east of the Howardian Hills, a designated National Landscape. The market town of Easingwold is under 5 miles away and hosts a wide range of amenities including Post Office, doctors surgery, public houses, historic churches, grocery shops, supermarket and schools.

Sam House farmhouse is an attractive detached property set in a sheltered position amid open farmland at the conclusion of a private drive. Typical of the area, the farmhouse is constructed of rendered red brick under pantile roof and retains many period and traditional features. In all, the internal accommodation currently extends to approximately 2,900 sq. ft., with a generous loft space of over 1,250 sq. ft.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to spacious dining kitchen with Aga, separate oven and quarry tile flooring connecting to a traditional walk-in pantry, three separate reception rooms, snug, dining room and dual aspect sitting room, each with open fire or log burner. To the rear of the kitchen is a separate side access from the boot room, leading to utility room and downstairs WC. Another cloakroom is situated beneath the staircase.

The first floor of the property includes family bathroom and five double bedrooms, of which three are southwest facing across the lawned garden to the front. The second floor is a partially boarded attic providing ample storage. The property has oil fired central heating.

To east and south lies an expansive lawned garden interspersed with mature trees and encircled by established hedgerows, timber fencing and red brick wall. A red brick outbuilding sits east of the house. The property is flanked to east and south by mature trees which provide natural screening, with open fields and countryside to north, east and west.

FARM BUILDINGS & LAND
A substantial range of red brick built traditional farm buildings lie to the north of the farmhouse. These buildings are in a modest condition but incorporate some wonderful original features centred around a former granary and are predominantly double height.

The traditional farm buildings benefit from existing approved planning consent for the redevelopment to 4-bedroom residential dwelling with associated access, parking and garden area.

Notwithstanding the current planning consent, the buildings could also form part of some ancillary accommodation to the main farmhouse to create an extensive and unique dwelling or alternatively provide office space, storage, workshop facilities or other amenity use, subject to the necessary consents.

In addition to the traditional buildings is an extensive modern agricultural building, steel portal frame with concrete panels and steel profile roof, approximate dimensions 31.2m x 13m. The building benefits from planning consent for conversion to two 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom properties or one large five bedroom property. Aside from the consent the building provides an extremely useful storage area, or could be repurposed for other uses such as equestrian stabling (subject to consents).

In addition to the farm buildings is a hardcore yard area and modest area of farmland which could form a turnout paddock for equestrian purposes or further ancillary amenity ground.

PLANNING CONSENTS
There is a range of planning consents in place, in summary: four bedroom barn conversion constructed from the traditional barn conversion, with garaging and garden, and two three bedroom, three bathroom properties (or one large five bedroom property) created from the steel portal frame building.
