Summary - 78 THE VILLAGE STOCKTON ON THE FOREST YORK YO32 9UW
4 bed 2 bath House
Large Grade II listed farmhouse with planning consent for extension, four miles from York.
Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse with original period features retained
Elm Tree Farmhouse is a rare opportunity to create a substantial family home in a sought-after village just four miles from York city centre. The mid‑ to late‑18th century, Grade II listed house retains period details such as sash windows, quarry tiles, exposed beams and fireplaces, and sits in a very large, south‑facing plot with mature hedging and formal terraces. Approved detailed planning consent (ref 23/00750/FUL) allows a substantial rear extension to increase the living space to almost 3,250 sq ft, delivering scope for up to six bedrooms and modern open‑plan living while preserving historic character.
The property is best suited to buyers prepared to undertake comprehensive renovation. The house needs full updating and internal works; its listed status will require specialist conservation input and may limit alterations and add to costs. Services include mains utilities and gas central heating, but buyers should budget for substantial works, possible listed‑building constraints and associated professional fees.
For families, the location combines village life with excellent access to York and the ring road, nearby schools (including Huntington School) and local amenities such as a village shop, pub and golf club. The large driveway and traditional outbuildings add versatility—parking, garaging or potential conversion (subject to permission). This chain‑free sale offers a clear route to possession for a buyer ready to realise the property’s significant potential.
Important practical points: the plot and garden will benefit from landscaping; council tax is at the higher band; and listed status means repair and renovation must follow conservation rules. When viewed objectively, Elm Tree Farmhouse represents a high‑value restoration project with planning in place and an enviable village setting close to York.
