Inside this captivating farmhouse home, for sale just six miles from Scarborough

A picturesque 18th century farmhouse that has been carefully updated over 28 years, is for sale within a glorious section of the North York Moors National Park.

Each room has unique character, with exposed beams and Victorian cast iron tiled fireplaces. Far-reaching views are displayed through box sash timber windows, framed by original working shutters.

Two double bedrooms on the first floor include one with fitted wardrobes, and there’s a house bathroom with a separate shower room.

The third bedroom occupies the second floor, with a dressing room.

Part-converted outbuildings house a utility room with power and lighting, and a w.c..

There is scope to create a studio annexe, subject to any required planning consent.

A south facing lawned garden with pond water feature has a paved terrace and summerhouse, with fruit trees, a hedged border and planted beds, beyond which is a fenced paddock of a couple of acres.

Lowdales offers fabulous nature trails, and angling on the River Derwent, yet Scarborough and Whitby are within easy reach, while the A170 and Seamer station provide links to York and beyond.
