A substantial detached farmhouse which has had recent improvements, together with a separate annexe and a large range of traditional farm buildings, which offer huge potential for redevelopment set in a total plot of half an acre, close to the centre of the village.

Pre-application advice has been sought in 2020 to Scarborough Borough Council who responded with a positive assessment that a scheme of development could be favourable (subject to all necessary consents and permissions). “The principle of converting the agricultural buildings, workshop and stores to residential and/or commercial use and demolition of Dutch barn are considered acceptable in principle for no more than 3 units in total” – SBC Planning Department. 1st September 2020.

Cliffe Farmhouse is a handsome Grade II listed property which has recently had a number of improvements including a completely new gas fired central heating system fitted and a smart new kitchen. The house would still benefit from further improvement, but offers a sizeable amount of versatile space which could be adapted to suit any number of purchasers. Buildings adjoin the main house and there is scope to extend the current accommodation into the buildings if permitted. The electric is supplemented by solar PV panels which provide a welcome RHI which currently more than covers the electricity costs for running the house
In all the house amounts to nearly 2,000 square feet and comprises the following: entrance hallway with living room at the side where there are patio doors leading out onto the south facing terrace to the front. Large sitting room with inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove and an adjoining dining room. Newly fitted breakfast kitchen, separate utility room and cloakroom.  To the first floor are three very generous double bedrooms and the house bathroom. There is a large landing and scope to reconfigure the first floor to create further bedrooms if required.    To the side is a one-bedroom annexe, which is currently mid-way through refurbishment. Formally a cow byre, the annexe is ideal for a dependant or additional accommodation and could offer some income potential. The redevelopment of the annexe echoes the lines of the original buildings and forms a useful blueprint as to the sort of conversion which could suit the rest of the buildings were they to be developed.   The buildings are arranged in a courtyard style and retain much character with brick arched openings, original beams and are generally in reasonable condition. In total the buildings provide floor space of approximately 4,000 square feet. There is access in from the roadside through large timber gates and once within the courtyard the site is both sheltered and remarkably private. The property is set within 0.5 acres in total with a large agricultural building set within the southern edge of the boundary, which has been granted full permission to be removed if required. The grounds are currently uncultivated but offer much opportunity to create a more formal style garden if required.   LOCATION   Snainton is a well-served village some eight miles to the east of the market town of Pickering and approximately nine miles from the seaside town of Scarborough.  The village has a good range of local amenities including a primary school, recreation ground with village hall, parish church, two pubs, a doctor’s surgery and both a butcher a fish and chip shop.  The village is situated on the A170 and there is excellent transport links onto the A64.
