LOCATION & SITUATION

Manor House Farm is a characterful rural property set in the heart of the picturesque East Riding of Yorkshire. Nestled on the edge of the tranquil hamlet of Harswell, this charming holding enjoys a peaceful and private setting well-suited to those with agricultural, equestrian or lifestyle interests.

Despite its privacy and seclusion, Manor House Farm offers convenient access to a range of amenities. The historic market towns of Pocklington, approximately 8 miles away and Market Weighton, around 6 miles away provide an excellent range of shops, schools and other facilities. The property also lies within easy reach of the A1079, offering direct links to the cathedral city of York situated a mere 15 miles to the Northwest.

Commuting is made possible for those needing to travel regionally or nationally by Manor House Farm's close proximity to the M62 and M18 which in turn tie in to the A1 and M1 roadways, enabling effortless travel both to the North and South.

MANOR HOUSE FARM FARMHOUSE & BUILDING (LOT ONE)

Manor House Farm Farmhouse & Building extends to approximately 1.26 acres (0.51 hectares).

The principal residence at Manor House Farm is an attractive, detached farmhouse of brick construction, arranged over three floors offering well portioned living space and accommodation of six bedrooms full of character and charm. The property is currently run as part of a successful holiday let business but also has huge potential to be a superb family home.

Internally, beyond the entrance lobby, the ground floor benefits from a cozy reception room, with a wood burning stove and a generously sized lounge with an open fire. The fully equipped kitchen complimented by an electric Aga is at the heart with adjoining utility room, downstairs we, walk in pantry and a staircase leading to a dry cellar. On the half landing is a double bedroom and bathroom.

Upstairs on the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, two of which benefit from a Jack & Jill style bathroom. The adjacent double bedroom features a secondary staircase providing direct access to the kitchen. Up a fixed staircase from the landing a large attic room can be accessed providing a spacious sixth bedroom with scope to be utilised as potentially a home office, hobby room, or simply additional storage.

Externally the farmhouse sits within a predominantly south facing well maintained garden, laid mainly to lawn with a range of mature trees and established borders along with private orchard. Adjoining the farmhouse is a brick-built arched cart shed and external store.

Opposite the farmhouse is a single storey traditional farm outbuilding that has full planning permission to be converted into holiday let accommodation providing an additional diversified income stream to the holding. Prospective purchasers are encouraged to refer to reference number 07/01526/PLF on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council planning portal for further detail.
