3 bedroom house

St James's Farm presents a rare opportunity to the market, comprising a well-proportioned three bedroom detached farmhouse with useful outbuildings, grass and woodland, situated in this enviable position in the heart of Cropton Forest within the North York Moors National Park and enjoying an uninterrupted southerly aspect. St James's secluded and tranquil position offers a nature lover's haven, with an abundance of moorland birds, small mammals, moths and butterflies, across open moorland and woodland. The National Park is a wonderful setting for walking, running, cycling, horse riding, water sports, and numerous outdoor activities.

The property has been much improved in recent years and now benefits from modern additions such as an air source heat pump and solar panels, whilst still offering considerable scope for further extension and development to create a superb family home with additional potential, within substantial and attractive gardens and land, situated in this tranquil and idyllic rural location.

Whilst the property is situated in a remote setting some three miles from the public highway, Pickering town centre and its extensive amenities are within 9 miles and will certainly appeal to a wide range of interested parties including those seeking a family home with scope for further extension and development (subject to the necessary permissions), in an enviable rural setting within reasonable access of the market town of Pickering, and with Malton and its excellent transport links only a short distance away.
