4 bedroom detached house for sale

This unique, lifestyle property is peacefully situated within open countryside approximately 4 miles east of Pocklington and set within a wonderful eight-and-a-half-acre plot. It offers wide ranging appeal, consisting of a beautifully extended and refurbished, 2,500sq.ft four-bedroom house surrounded by landscaped gardens; two highly successful glamping units consisting of a shepherd’s hut and gypsy wagon, a commercial tearoom with catering kitchen, customer toilets and carpark; first rate equestrian facilities including railed paddocks, substantial stable block and all-weather ménage. Along with a useful range of other outbuildings, the property offers considerable scope for further expansion, including planning permission for two further holiday units.
Over the last 7 years, the current owners have made considerable improvements to the house, comprehensively refurbishing it throughout, including replacement double-glazed flush fitting windows, adding a substantial extension and reconfiguring its layout, resulting in a highly appealing home of some considerable style. It is a house built for entertaining and enjoys a terrific layout, the heart of which is a huge, open-plan dining/kitchen/living space with bi-fold doors opening straight onto the garden. In brief its accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, guest cloakroom, boot room, open-plan dining/kitchen/living room, pantry, utility room, inner hall, sitting room and study. Upstairs four bedrooms and a house bathroom lead off a galleried landing, the master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room.
Some superb equestrian facilities have been developed alongside the property, which include five post and railed paddocks, a 45m x 30m ménage, a high-quality stable block with five good-sized loose boxes, and a separate hay store and tack room. Mature belts of woodland are positioned along the western and northern boundaries and are stocked with a variety of native species as well as numerous spring bulbs.
Alongside their home, the current owners have run a highly successful holiday rental and tourism-based business, known as the Ginger Cow Company. This is made up of a pair of unique holiday lets, namely a fully equipped shepherd’s hut and a gypsy wagon. Both are privately situated, come with their own garden areas and are complete with hot tubs. The second portion of this enterprise is a fully equipped tearoom with commercial kitchen, customer toilets and dedicated carpark. Currently they operate both an outside catering business, alongside events at the tearoom itself, as well as their sell-out ‘Highland Cattle Afternoon Tea Experience’. This generates a healthy income with significant potential to expand further, if desired.
Long Meadow Farm enjoys a rural position around 1 mile from the pretty village of Everingham, along a quiet country lane, linking with nearby Hayton. It sits within open countryside, inside the Vale of York and enjoys views towards the Yorkshire Wolds. The A1079 is easily accessible, providing convenient access to the nearby market towns of Pocklington and Market Weighton (4 and 5 ½ miles respectively); the City of York is also within a short drive.
