Yew Grange, Glaisdale, Whitby, YO21 2PZ

Yew Grange Farm is a traditional North Yorkshire Moors Farmhouse with a good selection of traditional and modern buildings suitable for a number of uses (subject to planning). The property stands close to the head of Glaisdale Dale and enjoys a picturesque setting with views over open farmland up towards the moors.

The house has been modernized with oil central heating, modern kitchens and bathrooms to offer comfortable and spacious family accommodation. This is a genuine old farmhouse, the oldest section dating back to 1743, and has tremendous potential.

The house is adjoined by, as yet undeveloped, stone outbuildings which would potentially allow for development and extension of the accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. There is also a useful arrangement of modern style buildings commensurate with a hill stock farm.
