A substantial Grade II listed stone farmhouse set in the North York Moors National Park, Ivy House Farm combines pronounced Georgian and traditional farmhouse character with flexible living space. The main house offers generous rooms, high ceilings and period fireplaces while a two‑bedroom attached barn conversion provides immediate ancillary accommodation or potential rental income. The grounds are extensive for a village plot, with part‑walled, south/west‑facing gardens, sweeping drive and a large double garage.
The layout suits a large family seeking countryside living minutes from Whitby, the moors and the coast. The property totals approximately 3,743 sq ft across three storeys, including multiple reception rooms, a conservatory, sizeable farmhouse kitchen and attic/second‑floor bedrooms that can work well as home offices or guest suites. The adjoining cottage (converted c.1997) has its own entrance, double‑height lounge and first‑floor bedroom, useful for extended family or as a self‑contained letting unit.
Buyers should note material constraints: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may add cost and delay for modernisation. Heating is mixed — the main house uses electric storage heaters while the cottage has an oil boiler — and some parts of the property will benefit from modernisation. Council tax bands are provided separately for the main house (Band F) and the annex (Band A).
Overall this is a character‑rich, adaptable farmhouse with strong curb appeal and genuine village privacy. It will appeal to buyers wanting substantial, period family accommodation with ancillary income potential, and to those prepared to manage listed‑building requirements and carry out selective updating.
