High Bracken Hill is an immaculately presented five-bedroom character home set in about 1.4 acres, offering exceptional views across Bilsdale. Recently renovated throughout, the house combines traditional stone character with modern comforts such as ground-floor underfloor heating, bespoke joinery and double glazing. The layout offers flexible family living with potential for an integral annex and generous social spaces that open to a south-westerly terrace.
The gardens and outbuildings are a major asset: a high-spec greenhouse, fruit beds, orchard, pond with brook, large potting shed and a former stable block with an adjacent former manège now mown grass. These provide great scope for hobby equestrian use, gardening projects or conversion (subject to consents). There may also be adjacent paddock/land available to rent, extending practical outdoor options.
Practical points are set out plainly. Heating runs from LPG boilers with radiators and underfloor heating; there is a self-switching standby generator, private spring water and private drainage. The house is in a remote hamlet within North York Moors National Park, so broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average. Stone walls are traditional and may have limited insulation compared with modern construction. Council tax is in a higher band.
This property suits families who value space, privacy and outdoor life — buyers attracted to rural character and versatile outbuildings. It is chain free and ready to occupy, but anyone requiring high-speed internet or frequent urban commuting should check connectivity and travel times before viewing.
