5 bedroom house for sale

Superb opportunity to renovate traditional farm barn, stables and outbuildings (with pp) in a generous plot of some 1.4 acres. The setting in this rural hamlet is idyllic and the location is convenient for York.

The Barns were formerly part of Bossall Hall and enjoy an idyllic setting within a sleepy rural hamlet just a short drive from the city of York and the market town of Malton.

The traditional farm outbuildings are constructed of brick with pantile roofs. In need of total renovation, they include a stable with former groom's accommodation above, accessed via an external staircase and enjoying a fine southerly outlook, stables with hayloft above, large barn, further extensive stabling, garages, storage outbuilding, courtyards and drive. The buildings originate from early to mid-seventeenth century and have been developed and altered up to the present day. Together the five buildings, which are accessed via a private drive, surround two yards that are part-cobbled.

Planning Permission & Listed Building Consent have been granted to create a 5000 sq ft house with a two-bedroom annexe, accessed via a private drive. Details, reports and full architects' plans are available on the North Yorkshire Council Planning Portal, listed under Ryedale and Bossall Hall.
