Summary - READING ROOMS, HIGH STREET YO13 9AJ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare adaptable village plot with annexe, commercial unit and nearly one acre of orchard..
Over half-acre walled orchard with mature fruit trees
A rare multi-use village property occupying over half an acre in the centre of Snainton. The main stone cottage is characterful, with exposed beams, a farmhouse kitchen/dining/sun lounge, generous reception rooms and wood burner — ideal for family living or a high-quality holiday let. A recently converted, single-level one-bedroom annexe offers accessible living with a wet room and utility, useful for multi-generational occupation or rental income.
The site includes a substantial ground-floor commercial unit with original parquet flooring and four rooms above; planning for residential conversion was previously granted (subject to renewal). Several outbuildings — two large workshops/storage sheds and a detached stone granary with conversion potential under permitted development — increase versatility for development, hobbyists or income use. A private courtyard provides parking for 4–6 vehicles and a walled orchard of nearly one acre offers mature fruit trees and open countryside views.
Prospective buyers should note some material drawbacks: parts of the fabric and roof are traditional and dated, room sizes and ceiling heights in the cottage are modest, and the commercial-to-residential permission will need renewal. This property suits buyers seeking a project with strong future upside: investors, multi-generational families, or purchasers wanting a village lifestyle with business potential.
Located in an affluent, agricultural community with good mobile signal and local amenities (shop, pub, doctor, church) and well-regarded primary schools nearby, the plot combines rural character with village convenience. No flood risk and freehold tenure add practical reassurance for long-term plans.
