Description - Farmhouse - Grove Farmhouse is a delightful, traditional stone building, constructed in the 18th century of honey coloured sandstone under a pantile roof. The original accommodation has been extended with an ancillary cottage created from the adjoining barns and both have been Listed Grade II for their historic and architectural importance. Both the farmhouse and the annex have been fully refurbished over the last 10 years and offer beautifully presented, spacious accommodation.

The farmhouse benefits from three large, light filled double bedrooms on the first floor, and two generous bathrooms. The property has been maintained to a high standard throughout and enjoys many period features such as exposed beams and wooden panelling in the dining room.

Should the purchaser wish, there is opportunity to extend the main farmhouse into the neighbouring cottage, to create a large 5-bedroom property.

Annexe Cottage - The cottage, known as Shepherds Rest, is a superb barn conversion attached to the main farmhouse, enjoying beautifully landscaped gardens to the front and the privacy of a paved patio and garden to the rear. Stylishly furnished and decorated, the cottage enjoys a light and airy reception room / kitchen which is open to the eaves with exposed beams and trusses. In addition to the “eco-friendly” underfloor heating from a ground source pump, the cottage also has a wood-burning stove, making a central feature in the lounge area. There are two bedrooms, with the master bedroom on the first floor benefitting from patio doors leading out onto a delightful balcony. The second bedroom is at lower ground floor level, with a feature window overlooking the gardens to the front.

External - Externally, the property benefits from a wide range of outbuildings. A traditional stone barn adjoined to the rear of the property provides ample external storage space, or alternatively would make perfect stabling. This building also benefits from planning permission for conversion into a holiday cottage.
There is an additional old ‘dairy’ building to the east of the farmhouse which also benefits from planning permission for conversion into a holiday cottage.

The three remaining modern buildings comprise a steel framed barn with timber roof truss’, an Atcost shed, and a steel portal framed general purpose agricultural building. These buildings benefit from planning permission for conversion into residential dwellings under permitted development rights (application reference: 22/02234/MBN), alternatively they would suit a range of agricultural or equestrian uses.

There is ample parking space to the rear of the property, with gravelled parking also available to the front.

Gardens And Grounds - Easby Grove is approached through metal gates to the front of the property with gravelled parking. There is a further access point to the rear with a concrete drive.
There are superb private gardens to the front, side and rear of the property, and an orchard including both pear and apple trees sitting to the north of the property.

Paddock / Grazing Land - The grazing land extends to approximately 5.7 acres and offers ample grazing for livestock or equestrian use. It is fully fenced and has access to water and would provide the ideal pony paddock. The land can also be accessed via a separate access drive off Low Easby Lane.

Services - The property benefits from mains water and electricity, with drainage to a sewage treatment plant. The main farmhouse is heated by an oil boiler, with the annexe benefitting from a ground source heat pump.

Listed Buildings - Easby Grove is Listed as Grade II.

Access - Access is gained directly off the public highway and benefits from four access points.
