4 A rare chance to acquire an important Listed house, one of the oldest in the village, together with a development site with full planning permission for a pair of houses to be built to a traditional design. Thornton-le-Dale is a very popular village on the southern edge of the North York Moors, with direct access to the National Park s beautiful natural scenery and wide range of leisure activities. The village is enduringly popular both as an excellent place to live, and as a magnet for tourism, with its quaint mix of pretty cottages, picturesque beck and appealing range of shops, pubs and tearooms. The village lies a couple of miles east of the busy market town of Pickering, and has good road access to the Yorkshire Heritage Coast at Scarborough and Whitby, and south to Malton and York (about 28 miles). Originally thatched, Box Tree Farm is a charming property built of local stone with many original features including Yorkshire slide windows and heavy beamed ceilings. The current owners have restored and developed the property, retaining its period charm, but opening up parts of the house to create good-sized rooms for modern family life. In addition to the living accommodation of some 207m2 (about 2233 sq ft), there is a substantial range of outbuildings, currently used as workshop, garaging and potting shed, but suitable for a wide range of activities.
