10 bedroom detached house for sale

Hartswood Farm is an impressive holiday cottage complex set within open countryside between the Yorkshire Wolds and the North York Moors. The property comprises of a very substantial five-bedroom farmhouse, together with three self-contained holiday lets, superb leisure suite with indoor pool, five pitch caravan site, paddocks and an extensive range of outbuildings.

The current owners have invested a significant amount of time and money into Hartswood, creating a popular and successful lifestyle business which we feel still has further potential.

The accommodation within the principal dwelling is particularly versatile and has been arranged in such a way that it can be subdivided in order to provide two-bedroom owner’s accommodation, along with a three-bedroom guest wing for letting. Cowshed Cottage, a single storey one bedroom cottage, adjoins Hartswood Farmhouse and would be equally suitable as either a holiday let or annexe accommodation.

The two apartments are located above the leisure suite and have proved popular with guests. Each apartment includes spacious living areas and fitted kitchens, along with two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The leisure suite is an especially useful asset to this type of enterprise and includes a 60ft heated indoor pool and gymnasium. All heating at Hartswood Farm is provided by a wood pellet boiler, which attracts a significant, annual RHI payment, making for a cost-effective arrangement.

A 5-pitch caravan site has been created on the edge of the plot, with each gravelled hardstanding having an electric hook-up. Subject to securing the necessary consents there may be potential to further increase this.

For anyone with equestrian or smallholding interests there are three fenced paddocks and some first-class American barn stabling adjoining a steel-frame workshop and open-fronted three-bay garage. Additional outbuildings include a large tack room, wood shed, former poultry shed, various stores and a laundry.
