Cross Farm House is a substantial traditional stone farmhouse set on about 5.1 acres with commanding elevated views across the North York Moors. At roughly 2,500 sq ft and six bedrooms, the layout offers generous rooms and period features that will reward a sympathetic refurbishment.
The property requires a full programme of renovation throughout, giving a buyer scope to reconfigure living space, restore original features, and create a striking family home. Planning consent (NYM/2021/0832/FL) already exists to convert three large courtyard barns into one three-bedroom and two two-bedroom dwellings, increasing the site’s residential potential. Note the barn conversions carry a principal residence clause — occupiers must live there for at least 80% of the year and holiday letting is prohibited.
Outdoor space is a major asset: paddocks, lawns and extensive outbuildings provide equestrian or smallholding use and secure privacy. Practical points to consider — broadband speeds are average, council tax is described as expensive, and the farmhouse and outbuildings will need substantial investment to make habitable. A site visit is essential to appreciate the scope and views on offer.
This is a project for buyers seeking rural lifestyle and space: families wanting long-term country living, those needing land for horses or smallholding, or developers comfortable with restoration and planning conditions. The combination of size, setting and consented barn conversions creates a rare opportunity in the National Park, provided you can commit to the renovation and residency restrictions.
