Set within the North York Moors National Park, Dyke House Farm offers a rare combination of two stone dwellings, substantial outbuildings and about 10.93 acres of grassland with southerly views down to the River Seven. The principal farmhouse and a detached barn cottage sit elevated above Rosedale with extensive lawned gardens and agricultural land in a single ring-fence — ideal for someone wanting an established smallholding, equestrian use or a country lifestyle.
The buildings are solid period stone but require significant modernisation. Both properties have timber single‑glazed windows (some with secondary glazing), room heaters and LPG-fired appliances; the EPCs are band G. Solar panels are fitted, but heating and insulation will need upgrading and much of the interior is dated. There is scope to improve energy performance, reconfigure living spaces and repurpose the sizable range of traditional outbuildings, subject to necessary consents.
Practical drawbacks are material and should be factored into any purchase decision: renovation works are required throughout, there is private drainage, no mobile signal and very slow broadband, and ongoing running costs include LPG fuel and an expensive council tax band. That said, the scale of the plot, the double residential offer and the attractive southerly aspect create clear value for buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment.
This property will suit buyers seeking a working rural base, a redevelopment project with land, or those wanting seclusion and expansive moorland views. For the right purchaser the farmhouse, cottage and outbuildings present flexible possibilities — from a revitalised family home to a smallholding or holiday rental enterprise, subject to planning and park regulations.
