Property Overview - Situated at the end of a private 1 mile track accessed opposite the Estate Sawmills, Folly Grange stands in around 9.92 acres in total and presents a buyer with a blank canvas to refurbish and remodel the main house of 2,589 sq ft (240 sq m) and convert the barn at the rear into a 2,594 sq ft (241 sq m) residential dwelling. There is also an exciting opportunity to explore the planning options on the single storey 1,026 sq ft (95.4 sq m) outbuilding and consider expanding the existing equestrian facilities further.
Originally built in the early 1990's to support a working dairy and subsequently used as a smallholding for rare breed pigs, the production of free-range turkeys and pheasant rearing for a local shoot. Now it is primarily used for equestrian purposes but also a home to the sheep, ducks and chickens that reside there too. A stream which runs alongside the fields, is a tributary of the River Ouse, perfect for small fish, water foul and re-wilding purposes. Over 500 trees have been planted (supported by the Woodland Trust) consisting of over 7 English species, providing a rich ecological environment from insects to birds to small mammals. The site will become worthy for woodland replacement.
The 1 mile track from Easingwold Road to the property is owned by Folly Grange with 3 neighbouring properties having a right of way over it. The land of around 9.92 acres in total is currently proportioned with the house standing within approx. 1.21 acres with the barn to convert at the rear in .56 of an acre and around 8.15 acres of grazing land.
The House - The property part way through a refurbishment and extension programme and currently features an impressive 25'8" (7.82m) long reception/dining hall with elegant staircase and shower room leading off, 2 formal reception rooms, 25'11" (7.90m) long dining kitchen with stone flagged floor, Aga and substantial central island 1 utility room, tack room, 4 double bedrooms and a part refurbished bathroom.
The property is double glazed and the radiator central heating is oil fired. It should also be noted that although the property currently provides 2,589 sq ft (240 sq m) of living space, there is also a part completed ground floor extension which when finished would add a further 704 sq ft (65.42 sq m) creating an eventual gross internal floor area of approx. 3,293 sq ft (305 sq m).
The Barn - The barn has a footprint of 2,023 sq ft (188 sq m) and planning permission was granted by North Yorkshire Council on 7th June 2023 for the change of use of agricultural building to a dwelling house (Class C3) and for associated operational development. The proposed new dwelling will provide approx. 2,594 sq ft (241 sq m) of living space and sit within a plot of around .56 of an acre. Vehicular access for the new dwelling when the barn has been converted will be via a new track that would have to be created running inside the perimeter of the land on the southern boundary from the fork of the existing access.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
