Manor House Farm is a well-presented Grade II listed former farmhouse set back from the village green in Thornton Rust, offering substantial characterful living across two floors. The house has four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large kitchen-diner with an inglenook fireplace and bespoke fitted units, arranged around traditional stone-flagged floors and exposed beams. Underfloor heating serves the kitchen, snug and bootroom, combining period charm with practical comforts.
Externally the property sits on a large plot for the village with an enclosed, landscaped rear garden, patio and lawn, plus an attached stone store for bikes and garden equipment. There is off-street parking for up to three cars and additional village parking nearby. The location inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park gives attractive countryside views and very low local crime, suited to full-time living, a second home or holiday let income.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or upgrades. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (not on a community supply), and the original stone walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation — buyers should budget for any energy-efficiency works. Council tax is above average for the area.
Overall this property will suit buyers seeking a spacious, character farmhouse in a picturesque Dales village who appreciate retained historic features and are comfortable with the responsibilities of listed ownership and traditional construction.
