Description
Snow Close Farm is an attractive residential amenity farm diversified to provide equine livery. Sitting on the fringe of Ripon, the property includes an extensive range of traditional farm buildings utilised as a livery yard, together with Close Cottage off-lying the second farm entrance. The traditional farm buildings also have potential for conversion to alternative uses (subject to the necessary consents).
Snow Close Farmhouse - Snow Close farmhouse is a detached brick built rendered property with a slate roof. The property is attached to a large range of traditional farm buildings in a courtyard format.
Ground floor accommodation includes pantry and utility rooms, large kitchen, snug and sitting room with open fire. First floor accommodation includes four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
There is a private residential drive and parking area, small garden and orchard to south and west elevations.
The property has solid fuel central heating system and would benefit from some modernisation.
Close Cottage - The property is a detached brick built property with Rosemary tile roof, sitting on the farm entrance to Snow Close Farm. The accommodation on the ground floor includes kitchen with a range of fitted units, dining room and living room with fireplace. The first floor accommodation includes three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Adjacent to the house is a modest prefabricated garage and parking area. The property has oil-fired central heating and UPVC double glazing. There are small gardens to both the front and rear end elevations and the property benefits from views over the adjacent farmland.
Snow Close Farm buildings - The farm buildings at Snow Close Farm have been repurposed for livery accommodation with 26 stables in all. Many of these are formed from the traditional red brick and stone built farm buildings and barns. There is an additional tack room and further private storage areas within these buildings.
In addition there are two ranges of purpose built timber stables which sit within the yard complex and surrounding the Dutch barn, used for feed and hay storage. The Dutch barn is a timber framed construction with fibre cement roof and a hardcore floor (17.9m x 10.4m) with an additional lean to (10.4m x 4.7m). Adjacent to this is a small stable block built in block walls and a fibre cement roof.
Beyond the yard area is an outdoor arena (40m x 20m) with a sand and rubber surface. From the farm, a central access track provides good links to the paddock areas for turn out. The yard also includes a hardcore area for vehicle parking a clear visitor area away from the residential dwelling.
Land - The farmland lies in a ring fence surrounding the farmstead and adjacent to Kirkby Road and Harries Lane. The land gently undulates which is common for the area, and is classified Grade 3 under the MAFF Provisional Agricultural Land Classification. The land is permanent grassland, with soils predominantly loam with clay elements. The land is bound by mature hedgerows and a small woodland area to the north, which together with the undulation make for a very attractive setting.
