A rare opportunity indeed!!

Introduction - The Grange is a simply stunning Grade II listed former Georgian farmhouse which stands in the centre of one of East Yorkshire's prettiest and most desirable villages. Believed to have been built in the early 18th Century with later farm buildings, this fine property is beautifully appointed and has been sympathetically modernised over the years. There are many features evident from the Georgian era within the house such as the staircase, doors and door furniture, probably made at the blacksmith's forge which occupied the adjacent land. The main living accommodation has been extended into some of the adjoining farm buildings plus there are a series of substantial barns, previously used for stabling which afford huge further potential to be converted into more accommodation for which planning permission has recently been obtained. Whilst not necessary, this extra accommodation would provide lovely views of the rear garden and increase the property's value further. The property occupies a linear site of around 0.6 acre with a house standing on the east side of Main Street, gable end to the road with its principle façade facing south. There is an attractive lawned garden with a winding path leading up to the entrance and a driveway has an automated gate which opens to the main courtyard complete with an extensive sunny terrace. Beyond the adjoining barn lies a further courtyard area, formerly used for a horse walker, plus there is a small fenced paddock/garden land complete with brick outbuilding.

Town & Country Planning - Planning Permission has been obtained for the "remodelling and extension of an existing Grade II Listed farmhouse and outbuildings including the conversion of two redundant outbuildings". This is principally to take the adjoining barns/outbuildings into further accommodation.

Plans can be viewed on the local authority's planning portal or can be discussed upon a viewing at the property.
