Both properties are connected to mains electricity and has a private water supply and a recently upgraded drainage system.

Heating and hot water is provided by a ground source heat exchanger, enhanced by a solar thermal system.

In addition, solar PV is connected to the grid generating annual income through a Feed-In-Tariff and power for an electric car charging point.

John Coleman, head of country house sales at GSC Grays, who is marketing the property, said: “Sunnybank boasts an impressive range of environmental credentials which have been incorporated into the refurbishment of the farmhouse and cottage which is set in a picturesque and private location with outstanding views of the Dales.

"The property includes a newly planted woodland and offers the opportunity to create a wildlife pond.”

The original farmhouse has been extended to create a farmhouse kitchen and a master bedroom suite above and includes a galleried landing with library over the main living room. 

Sunnybank Cottage is fully self-contained but could be re-incorporated back into the main house.

It has a spacious living room with fully fitted kitchen, bedroom and ensuite shower room. The cottage is ideal for holiday lets subject to necessary permissions or as a separate annex to the house.

Outdoors, Sunnybank also boasts beautiful mature gardens with a well-planned kitchen garden, orchard and a native woodland plantation. The whole area is teaming with wildlife with deer, foxes, hares and an abundance of birdlife.

The paddock in front of the house is stock proof and provides excellent grazing for livestock or horses and beyond that an area of wetland through which runs Kendall beck.

Sunnybank Farm is located 7 miles west of Leyburn with easy access to the A1 at Bedale. The nearest train station at Northallerton provides a regular service on the East Coast mainline to York, London and Edinburgh.

The closest airports are Leeds Bradford International and Teesside International.

Sunnybank Farm is currently on the market with GSC Grays Boroughbridge Branch with a guide price of £1,495,000.
