Description
Situation
Woolah sits in the Tabular Hills on the northern fringe of Ryedale, North Yorkshire, a sought after and productive farming area. Surroundings are predominantly arable fields interspersed with attractive woodlands and shelterbelts, there is a handful of further farms and dwellings located off Starfitts Lane, which leads to the quaint village of Fadmoor and the North York Moors National Park.
The farm has excellent transport connections, being only 1.9 miles from the A170, between the popular market towns of Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley. The A170, links through to the A19 trunk road and access north-south to York, Teesside and the A1(M). Thirsk (21 miles) and York (26 miles) railway stations, both on the East Coast Mainline, have regular services to London Kings Cross in less than 2.5 hours.
Description
Woolah occupies a superb rural location to the north west of Kirkbymoorside and close to the village of Fadmoor. Not on the market since 1935, the farm is approached by an attractive, private tree-lined driveway west from Starfitts Lane, with a tarmacadum parking area adjoining the farmhouse and farmyard. The property sits in an elevated position, with the beautiful farmhouse benefitting from a southerly aspect and far-reaching views over the gardens, ring-fenced farmland and the Ryedale countryside beyond.
Woolah Farmhouse
Woolah Farmhouse sits adjacent to the farm entrance and is an attractive stone built farmhouse with adjoining outbuildings to the rear, the southern elevation is surrounded by gardens and a woodland shelterbelt to the west. The ground floor accommodation includes, hallway, shower room with WC, kitchen with AGA, fitted units and exposed beams, office, dining room with log burning stove, living room with open fire and large bay window, which makes for very light living space. The first floor includes bathroom, WC and four bedrooms, a further bedroom is accessed via separate staircase from the kitchen from which there is a further staircase to the large attic space.
The house has a parking area to the side and a gardens enclosed by a traditional stonewall. The gardens are well maintained and include lawns, planted borders, hedging and a
recently improved pond area.
The pantile roof has been replaced and windows are a combination of timber and uPVC framed units. The property has oil fired central heating and AGA. The property has been renovated and improved over the years, and whilst it would generally benefit from updating again, it makes for a well proportioned family home with a pleasant elevated outlook. A range of outbuildings adjoin the house at the rear providing storage and a single garage, this wider range could be incorporated into the dwelling to create an outstanding family
home.
Farm buildings
The farm buildings comprise a range of traditional and modern agricultural buildings, situated to the north of the farmhouse and arranged around a concrete and hardcore yard area. To the immediate north of the farmhouse, and in part attached, is an extensive range of traditional farm buildings, stone built with pantile and fibre cement roofs, historically these have been used for stabling, grain, livestock and machinery storage. Some of the buildings are double height and include some wonderful historic features and an enclosed foldyard. The buildings have obvious potential for redevelopment to alternatives uses (subject to consents) or could provide additional accommodation to the farmhouse. There is a modest range of modern farm buildings, which include a steel portal framed general purpose building, grain store with bins, pit and drying equipment, two Dutch barn style buildings, and a redundant pig fattening house. These buildings are only used in part for modern agricultural purposes.
Land
The farmland lies in a ring fenced block surrounding the farmstead only divided by a green lane (Caldron Mill Lane) also within the ownership. Some fields have direct road access to Starfitts Lane. The land very gently undulates with a slight southerly aspect, however for the most part is flat at around 130-160 metres above sea level.
The land is classified as Grade 3 under the MAFF Provisional Agricultural Land Classification. The soils are from two high quality and free draining series, common to the locality, which have supported a typical cereal rotation. Elmton 2, a shallow, well drained brashy calcareous fine loamy soils over limestone or chalk and Rivington 1, a well-drained coarse loamy soils over sandstone.
The land is bound by mature hedgerows and small wooded areas, which make for a very attractive setting.
