INTRODUCTION The sale of Red House Farm and Low Gill Cottage offers an exceptional opportunity to purchase a highly desirable moorland farm, situated near Rosedale in the North York Moors National Parks. The property is located in a highly sought after, attractive rural location and benefits from far reaching views over the moors and up towards the Dale Head. The farm is situated in an unspoilt location, which is still predominantly a farming community. The area has a wealth of history and was once a major centre for iron ore production, with the former Rosedale Ironstone Railway line situated in an elevated position adjoining the grassland to the far east boundary. The area is well known for the former mine workings, including Chimney Bank and there are a number of former kilns which provide important features on the landscape. Situated in open countryside, the property was until recently a tenanted farm, operated as a traditional livestock unit. As a whole the property comprises a 4 bedroom period farmhouse requiring full renovation and modernisation, together with an adjoining courtyard of traditional buildings and stables. Situated separately in a private location is a semi-derelict 2 bedroom cottage, known as Low Gill Cottage together with 7.6 acres of grassland. In all the property amounts to approximately 93.88 acres, which primarily comprises productive grassland and woodland. Red House Farm is an ideal property for those looking for a stock farm in a beautiful location, alternatively there is the potential for the farm to be split and therefore it has been lotted as follows: Lot One: Red House Farmhouse, farm buildings, stables and grassland in all 10.35 acres. Lot Two: Low Gill Cottage and grass paddock. In all 7.4 acres Lot Three: 76.13 acres of grassland LOCATION Red House Farm is situated 3 miles north of the popular village of Rosedale.

There is excellent local riding and walking available along the miles of bridleways and footpaths. Local hunting is available with the Farndale and Sinnington Hunts. LOT ONE: RED HOUSE FARM, BUILDINGS, STABLES & 10.35 ACRES (RED ON PLAN) The property, which is of solid stone construction under a part pantile and part slate roof faces west over open countryside and provides relatively spacious accommodation.
