4 bedroom house to rent

A rare opportunity to rent a period farmhouse with an adjoining annex in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Farndale is a nature reserve where, each Spring, its glorious daffodils put on one of natures most beautiful shows and where the miles of dry 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 is open for business selling basic essentials and more.

Bitchagreen Cottage is believed to date back to the 1700's and was formerly 2, thatched cottages. Now a splendid detached farmhouse offering modernised accommodation with oil fired central heating where, from virtually every window, there is a terrific view either across the lovely garden or over neighbouring farmers fields towards the Farndale valley beyond.

The versatile accommodation provides 2 reception rooms (both with wood burning stoves), a large farmhouse kitchen with oil fired Stanley, a second kitchen/utility room (for jam making !) and 4 bedrooms all within the main house. The adjoining Annex, aka Mini's Cottage, provides compact self contained one bedroom accommodation ideal for a dependent relative. The Annex can only be occupied as an extension to the main house but cannot be sub-let.

The 'piece de resistance' is the garden; there is nowhere quite like it. Approx. 1 acre of gardeners pleasure in the form of a productive vegetable plot, orchard, pond, roses, small paddock, composting area and a range of useful stone outbuildings creating workshop space, room to stack logs and store home-grown produce throughout the seasons. The successful applicant will have a passion and understanding of the countryside (and the demands that can go with it) and must have the capability to manage such a special property and its vast garden.
