Summary - Meadowcroft, Oakley Walls, Lealholm, WHITBY YO21 2AU
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Established 16-acre smallholding with cottages, barns and strong rural potential.
Stone farmhouse with panoramic North York Moors views
Meadowcroft is an immaculately kept residential smallholding set within the North York Moors National Park, occupying over 16 acres of pasture and commanding uninterrupted moorland views. The stone farmhouse provides practical, adaptable family accommodation with conservatory, breakfast kitchen, dining room and up to four bedrooms in the main house, plus integral garage and workshop space that could be extended (subject to consents).
The holding includes two income-generating cottages: Wren Cottage (one bedroom, holiday let) and Swallow Cottage (two bedrooms, permanent let currently generating £800 PCM). There are also more than 6,000 sq ft of agricultural storage buildings and useful outbuildings suitable for stables, equipment or conversion for alternative uses, making this well suited to equestrian, smallholding or mixed rural enterprise.
Running costs are reduced by ground-source heating to the main house, solar PV (producing an estimated RHI circa £4,500 pa) and supplementary oil heating for the cottages, with strong EPC performance reported. Practical positives—panoramic parkland location, sizable yard and barns, and excellent mobile signal—sit alongside practical considerations: the site is remote with very slow broadband and planning would be required to materially enlarge living accommodation.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking an established rural smallholding with immediate income and broad scope for agricultural, leisure or equestrian use. Viewers should note the remote setting and above-average council tax banding when assessing ongoing costs.
