3 bedroom detached house for sale

For those with an urge to 'escape to the country' Cragg Cottage might just be the ticket! Nestled along Daleside East in the stunning Farndale valley lies this pretty, double fronted cottage with stunning views from virtually every window.

Cragg Cottage has been in the same family for over 45 years and during the passage of time the modest two bedroom accommodation has been extended and improved to provide a practical entrance/boot room, two reception rooms and a kitchen/diner on the ground floor with the main sitting room having that ever important log burning stove to keep the chill off during the cooler months. A room at the back was added in 2010 creating a light and bright place to sit with a book or use as a study, having French doors opening out to the garden. Both bedrooms will accommodate a double bed and there is a small bathroom.

In order to supplement the accommodation, one of the stone barns in the garden was converted in 2009 to provide garaging, ancillary storage and self contained living space perfect for guests or extended family.

The property is approached along a private drive belonging to Farndale Estate, over which Cragg Cottage and the neighbouring property, Cragg House, have access. Within the clearly defined boundaries there is plenty of parking, a substantial detached garage and further outbuildings providing good storage/workshop space. In the main, the garden is left to its natural devices with a huge expanse of lawn and woodland extending to approximately 1 acre and no matter where you are in the garden, the views are simply wonderful.

Farndale is a nature reserve where, each Spring, its glorious daffodils put on one of natures most beautiful shows and where the miles of drive stone walls contain endless flocks of sheep belonging to the hill farmers. The nearby market towns of Kirkbymoorside, Helmsley and Pickering provide all the usual every day amenities and recently at Low Mill in Farndale a small village shop has opened for business selling basic essentials and more.
