Set on the edge of the North York Moors in the attractive village of Ebberston, Brook Farm is a substantial barn conversion finished in 1989 with a detached two-bedroom annexe. The main house combines period stone character—exposed beams, carved oak fireplace and large open reception rooms—with practical modern upgrades such as recent boiler installation and rooftop solar panels. The property sits on a large plot with a sheltered west-facing courtyard, productive garden, greenhouse and countryside views.
The layout suits families or buyers seeking a rural retreat with flexible accommodation: the principal house provides spacious dining and drawing rooms and four bedrooms upstairs, while the self-contained annexe offers guest, dependent relative or rental potential. A three-bay traditional range currently used as an open-fronted garden room/garage could be incorporated into the main house subject to planning consent, offering further scope to increase living space.
Running costs are partly mitigated by the solar panels and woodburning stoves, but heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators (not a communal supply). Practical points to note: council tax is high, broadband and mobile signal are average, and the building dates from a period conversion (original structure pre-1900) so buyers should expect typical maintenance and character-related considerations. Overall, Brook Farm offers a rare blend of country charm, flexible accommodation and strong potential for adaptation in a desirable National Park-edge location.
