Summary - Birch Farm, Main Street, Great Edstone, YORK YO62 6PB
5 bed 3 bath House
Large period farmhouse with outbuildings, nearly 4 acres and southerly views.
South-facing elevated plot with far-reaching Vale of Pickering views
Birch Farm is a substantial stone farmhouse set on an elevated plot with almost 4 acres of pasture and far-reaching southerly views over the Vale of Pickering. The house combines period character with energy-efficient upgrades (air-source heat pump, double glazing noted) and extensive traditional outbuildings and loose boxes - well suited to buyers seeking a family home with equestrian or small-holding capability.
Accommodatio n is generous: principal bedrooms include a master suite and guest suite, with multiple reception rooms, a country dining kitchen with an Aga, and two attic bedrooms. The garden and orchard are south/west facing and include specimen trees and a hard tennis court, providing private outdoor space and scope for family recreation or informal paddocks immediately adjacent to the house.
The outbuildings are a key asset: traditional loose boxes and pony stalls, plus two substantial modern three-bay buildings with 3-phase power. These offer practical equestrian use now and potential conversion or workshop/storage uses subject to planning consents. Vehicular access and a mains-fed water trough serve the pasture.
Buyers should note material practical points: the stone walls are original with no confirmed insulation, council tax is described as quite expensive, and some buildings or conversion plans will require statutory consents. Mobile signal is average but broadband is fast, there is no flood risk, and the property is in a very low crime area. Overall this is a large, characterful rural holding well suited to families or purchasers seeking equestrian/outbuilding potential, but it will suit those comfortable managing a substantial country property and any necessary upgrading or consents.
