A first-class equestrian-based smallholding located within 4 miles of York city centre, comprising spacious & beautifully appointed period farmhouse, extensive gardens, railed paddocks, all-weather arena & stables. In all almost 8 acres.

Fir Tree Farm is a superbly positioned equestrian based smallholding comprising an especially spacious and well-appointed period farmhouse set in pretty gardens together with extensive stabling, all-weather riding arena and railed paddocks amounting to almost 8 acres in total.

The property is a rare find for anyone searching for a residential smallholding in a tranquil rural setting, yet with quick and easy access into York city centre and all its many amenities. With captivating views across Heslington Tilmire, the village is only two miles away and there is excellent hacking from Fir Tree Farm along the Minster Way, and along miles of nearby bridleways.

The oldest portion of the house itself is understood to date from around 1850, and has since been substantially extended and reconfigured, yet still retains a significant amount of charm as well as a practical and appealing layout, at the heart of which is a 30ft farmhouse kitchen. More recently, an elegant, triple aspect sitting room has been added which takes full advantage of the splendid, west-facing views and the balcony above affords fine views, and York Minster and the Yorkshire Wolds can be seen from the property.

The living accommodation extends to well over 2,800ft², comprising entrance porch, farmhouse kitchen, family room, snug/formal dining room, sitting room, utility room, boot room and guest cloakroom. To the first floor is a house bathroom and a total of four double bedrooms, including a master suite with dressing room and bathroom. The former fifth bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room to bedroom two, and enjoys balcony access, but could easily revert.

Externally, the gardens, which lie principally to the south and west, have been attractively landscaped and benefit from a summer house and home office/gym, beyond which is a productive vegetable garden. There is an expanse of gravelled parking on the opposite side of the house, centred around a willow tree and flanked on two sides by a quality Goodricks stable block with five boxes, tack room and hay store. The holding is within a ring fence and there are a series of quality railed paddocks on three sides, two of which have field shelters and there is the advantage of a 40ftx20ft all-weather riding arena. The total site area extends to approximately 7.9 acres.

The setting of Fir Tree Farm is rather special, enjoying protected views across the Tilmire (designated as a SSSI and a haven for wildlife), the peace and quiet it affords makes it hard to believe that a diverse range of city centre amenities are less than fifteen minutes drive away. For anyone commuting further afield, the A64 is easily accessible.
