4 INTRODUCTION Pickering Moor Farm is an attractively situated traditional agricultural smallholding comprising a detached stone and pantile farmhouse, range of traditional courtyard buildings offering potential, a further range of more modern farm buildings and in all the property is situated within approximately acres comprising predominantly reasonable quality grazing and mowing land. Historically it is understood that the property was once a public house and prior to being known as Pickering Moor Farm, the property was known as Holly Bush Farm, most likely due to the large Holly Bush which is still situated in the front garden. The most recent owner Mr R Watson (deceased) had occupied the property for 84 years and therefore it is a genuinely rare opportunity to now purchase the property. The property presents a rare opportunity to purchase a traditional small farm which has potential for other uses including equestrian or holiday cottage accommodation subject to securing the necessary planning consents. The farm does now require modernisation and improvement to part; however, it offers the potential to create an attractively situated small farm and would be suitable for younger farming and new farming entrants, or those looking for an affordable secondary farming base. HOUSE Pickering Moor Farmhouse comprises a detached two bedroom property which provides relatively spacious accommodation with the potential to extend into the attached outbuildings or into the more traditional buildings situated within the courtyard to the rear. The accommodation is situated within the traditional stone under pantile farmhouse which benefits from double glazed UPVC windows.

Due to the attractive National Park location, close to Pickering and Whitby, the property could be utilised for a variety of tourism uses (subject to consents) and will be ideal for those with equestrian interests due to the miles of nearby hacking. LOCATION The property is located in the small rural hamlet of Stape, which is made up of a number of farmsteads and rural houses.
