BUYERS CAN GALLOP INTO FENCOTE HOUSE

A substantial five-bedroom period farmhouse surrounded by 6.8 acres of land and with a range of outbuildings, is for sale and will appeal to those with equestrian interests or anyone wanting to create their own smallholding in the heart of North Yorkshire.

Fencote House is for sale with rural property consultancy, Lister Haigh and offers more than 4,000 sq ft of living space in the hamlet of Little Fencote which sits between the market towns of Northallerton and Bedale.

On the ground floor there is an impressive reception hall leading to five reception rooms with the principal rooms looking south over the gardens and land beyond. There are also several ancillary rooms and cellars.

Upstairs there is the master bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom, as well as four further bedrooms, a large house bathroom, separate shower room and a WC. A staircase leads to a large second floor attic room which has potential for further accommodation subject to securing the necessary planning consents.

Associate and residential principal at Lister Haigh, Nick Talbot, said: “Fencote House is in a quiet and semi-rural location, but it’s still very convenient for the A1(M) and is just a 15-minute drive from Northallerton.

“Crucially, the house is surrounded by land and offers extensive parking, six stables, a tack room, garage and stores. Beyond this there are two fields, as well as south facing gardens, which will make it popular with horse owners and anyone else who requires lots of outdoor space.” Fencote House is for sale with a guide price of £890,000.
