The property’s location offers total seclusion and uninterrupted countryside views, whilst also being within walking distance to the village of Snape and a short drive to the market town of Bedale.

The property has been well maintained throughout our clients ownership and features a number of character features such as fireplaces, AGA and timber beams offering a true farmhouse feel.
