FARMLEIGH AND FARMLEIGH COTTAGE, SCALBY, SCARBOROUGH, YO13 0RP 750,000
FARMLEIGH SCALBY SCARBOROUGH YO13 0RP This impressive family home has much to offer and is marketed for the first time in 43 years. Originally the end farmhouse in Scalby Village, built around 1720, the main house retains many of its original features, including wide wooden floorboards, architraves and a superb winding staircase. The current owners have extended the living space by creating a cosy two bedroom cottage at the bottom of the garden from an old farm building incorporating the supporting beams and hen laying spaces into the design. Additionally there is a fully functional office with underfloor heating and toilet facilities, with a separate entrance and parking. The rear gardens, including a sunken pond with fountain, can be admired, even in colder months, from the large south facing conservatory. Farmleigh would make an ideal home for a modern growing family with the facility to work from home. Also it gives a rare opportunity for true, two generational living. Location This unique property is situated in a large plot, set back from the road in the pretty Yorkshire village of Scalby, three miles to the north of Scarborough. Scalby is a thriving community on the edge of the North Yorkshire National Park and only around three miles from the stunning Yorkshire coastline.
