Croft Farm, Biggin, between York and Leeds

This is an extended and well presented house with a range of purpose-built outbuildings, a detached two-bedroom cottage and grounds of about eight acres. The original farm house is thought to date back to around 1750.

It was later extended and, thanks to two decades of hard work by the current vendors, has now been completely refurbished and modernised throughout. Croft Farm has been transformed into a comfortable family home comprising two reception rooms, a study/snug, a playroom, a kitchen/breakfast room, a principal bedroom suite, four further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room.

It also comes with the undeniable bonus of a two-bedroom cottage (ideal for elderly relatives, teenagers seeking independence or as a rental concern), a two-storey three-bay garage, a three-box stable with power and water, a pole barn and extensive gardens, grounds and fenced paddocks.
