Westfield Farm in North Yorkshire is on sale for £1.625m

Well that’s just what Westfield Farm offers potential buyers.

As well as a grade II listed former farmhouse, Westfield Farm has three further self-contained properties, all set in over four acres of grounds, making it perfect for use as a multi-generational home and a highly successful holiday letting enterprise.

This extremely versatile property has been laid out to open up a number of options.

Three of the properties – Westfield Farm, The Long House and Ash Garth Cottage – have interlinked doorways which enable them to be occupied as one large residence, if required, or divided into three.

At present The Long House and Ash Garth Cottage are run as high-quality holiday lets, while the most recent addition, Chestnut Cottage, has been converted within the last three years and is subject to a local needs occupancy condition.

Briefly, The Long House is a meticulously renovated grade II listed former farmhouse that offers a wealth of superbly-appointed accommodation reminiscent of a bygone era, but with all the 21st century conveniences and technology a modern family could need.

Believed to date from the late 17th century, it offers around 2,510sq.ft of accommodation which briefly comprises an entrance hall; dining room with a feature cast iron range, exposed beams and a Yorkshire sliding sash window; sitting room with a cast iron log-burning stove within an original inglenook, a further feature fireplace, exposed beams, stripped floorboards and two Yorkshire sliding sash windows; the kitchen with a Belling range cooker, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and two Yorkshire sliding sash windows; utility room; family bathroom and a bedroom with an en-suite shower room and mezzanine level on the ground floor.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms.

The Long House has a garden area looking onto the village green.

Onto the other principle residence on the site – Westfield Farm which has been built on the footprint of an earlier stone barn.

Its ground floor comprises an entrance hall; sitting room with cast iron log-burning stove set within an exposed brick chimney breast, exposed beams, a stone flagged floor and French doors into the garden; the dining room – also with exposed beams and stone flagged floor – which opens into the kitchen where there’s a range of granite-topped fitted units, a Belfast sink and a breakfast bar perfect for informal family meals; the utility room; cloakroom; garden room with French windows into the garden and an additional door to the courtyard garden, plus a laundry room.

Upstairs are a family bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath and three bedrooms, all with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. One of the bedrooms also has an en-suite bathroom.

Moving on again is Ash Garth Cottage, a former milking parlour which is now a very popular one-bedroom single-storey holiday cottage. Significantly larger than your average one-bedroom cottage it has a feeling of rustic charm and enjoys a lovely outlook towards the Hambleton Hills. It is home to an open-plan kitchen/living room with features including a vaulted ceiling with exposed roof trusses and timbers, cast iron log-burning stove and two walls with exposed stonework; a utility room and a bedroom with both an en-suite bathroom and French doors to the garden.

Last, but certainly not least, is Chestnut Cottage, which was converted from a former workshop and is permanently occupied. It enjoys a lovely position which takes full advantage of the breathtaking views to the west and is centred around a beautifully-appointed kitchen which opens directly onto a huge living space with log burner and direct access to the garden. It also has a utility room, cloakroom, snug and bedroom with an en-suite shower room on the ground floor, plus two bedrooms – one with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, the other with an en-suite shower room – upstairs.

Each of the properties has its own private areas and overall feature lawns, shrub borders, two natural ponds, a productive fruit orchard, patios and terraces. There is also a useful range of outbuildings, including an agricultural barn, open-fronted double car port, fuel store and hobby room plus a newly established spinney and grass paddock which extends to approximately 3.4 acres.
