CROFT FARM

The property comprises a SEMI-DETACHED 3 BEDROOM FARMHOUSE and garden together with OUTBUILDINGS, with the option of including up to APPROXIMATELY 14 ACRES OF MEADOW GRASSLAND.

The availability of the property provides an exciting opportunity to refurbish, reconfigure or possibly extend a characterful home in a delightful village situation.

The property is located in the highly desirable village of Timble, in the Washburn Valley between Harrogate and Otley. It has very convenient access to the A59 for travel to Harrogate and the A1 to the east, and Skipton and Lancashire to the west. It is also within reasonable commuting distance of Leeds and Bradford, via Otley.

The extent of the house, garden and outbuildings is shown edged red on the plan. The farmland (shown edged blue) will be sold separately if not required by the buyer of the house.

THE FARMHOUSE

The house is of traditional stone construction and is full of character features such as window seats, cast iron fireplaces, and the opportunity to re-expose a number of ceiling beams.

The accommodation has mostly double glazed windows and some electric storage heaters, but is ready for modernisation or a full refurbishment. The accommodation currently provides:

Garden BuildingsA useful stone and stone slate outbuilding provides wood store, W.C. and workshop/store.

A timber building could be used as a potting/garden shed or for additional storage.

GardenThe house is south facing, with a semi-formal cottage style garden to the front. To the side of the house is an access gateway into the side and rear garden, which is mainly grassed with ornamental shrubs and trees.

Although garage facilities are currently provided on the piece of land across the road, there is plenty of space to erect a new garage within the garden of the house, and scope to alter the position of the gateway in order to provide a better vehicular access.

The domestic grounds on the opposite side of the road are currently divided into two grassed areas, each enclosed by stone walls. One of these has a prefabricated concrete garage/workshop building (16' x 14'6”) and a small aluminium framed greenhouse (7' x 6'). Mains water and electricity are installed to the site of these buildings.

The other enclosed area has plenty of parking space and includes a general purpose garage/workshop/storage building of timber construction being 24' x 10'6” externally.

THE FARMLAND

To the south is a block of meadow and pasture fields, which extend to approximately13½ acres. To facilitate access that is separate from that to the domestic grounds, a new entrance gateway could very easily be provided directly into the top field by making a hole in the roadside wall.

The farmland includes Parcel Nos. 7786, 8690, 8275, 7669, 8565, and 6460. If the new owners do not wish to use it themselves, the previous farming occupier would be happy to rent it.

The land is registered on the Rural Land Register but no Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are offered with the property.

COUNCIL TAXThe existing house is assessed in Band F. Billing Authority is Harrogate District Council.

VIEWINGThe property may be inspected only by prior appointment with the agents. Interested parties are reminded that the property is inspected wholly at the prospective purchaser’s own risk.

DIRECTIONSFrom Otley, proceed north, past the hospital and up out of town, and follow the road up and over Snowden Moor. After the road drops down off the moor and around a few bends, turn right at the crossroads. Where the road bends sharply down to the left, turn slightly right and proceed forwards into Timble Village.

From the A59 at Blubberhouses, head south up past the church towards Otley. Having passed down and over the bridge in the woodland, proceed to the crossroads at the top of the hill and turn left. Where the road bends sharply down to the left, turn slightly right and proceed forwards into Timble Village.

From Fewston Village, head west over the reservoir dam. Ignore the turning on the left immediately after the car park, and proceed for approximately 1 mile, turning left towards Timble when the road bends sharply to the right.

On entering Timble village the property is the first one facing the road on the left hand side, and the additional land is opposite the house on the right hand side.

PRICE: Offers are invited for the property as a whole.

In the alternative, offers will be considered for the house and garden separately from the block of farmland.

(Guide price for the house and garden £375-400,000 and for the farmland £100,000)
