Clifton, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4

An outstanding stone-built family home with far reaching views across the Yorkshire Dales countryside

Description

Birch Tree Farm is an immaculately presented, stone-built modern home, situated within approximately four acres of private grounds, in an idyllic rural location in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, well positioned for access to Ripon and the A1(M). This beautifully maintained property offers a blend of contemporary design with the charm and character of its traditional stone construction, set amidst a tranquil and picturesque landscape.

The property boasts generous and well-proportioned living spaces throughout, combining comfort and modern living. The ground floor features a spacious entrance hall leading to a light-filled sitting room with large windows and adjacent garden room, both offering stunning views over the surrounding countryside. The beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room is a particular highlight, offering ample space for family meals and entertaining, with integrated appliances and modern finishes.

The first floor houses three bedrooms including the luxurious principal bedroom suite which features his and hers en suite bathrooms and dressing rooms. A house bathroom serves rooms two and three.

The property also benefits from an adjoining two bedroom self-contained annexe which would ideally lend itself to guest accommodation, dependent family members, or staff accommodation.

The property is approached by a sweeping gravelled driveway leading to a generous drive to the rear of the property. In addition, there is a sizeable barn which currently houses looseboxes, ideal for equestrian enthusiasts or those looking for extensive garaging.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn, flanked by mature hedges and smart estate fencing. A paved patio runs the length of the front of the property, making the most of the southerly aspects and providing the perfect place for al-fresco dining. The property is encompassed by fenced paddocks of approximately four acres.

Location

Birch Tree Farm is located around 12 miles from the historic city of Ripon, offering a wide range of amenities including shops, schools, and leisure facilities. The property is well connected to major road networks, with easy access to the A1(M), providing convenient travel links to nearby towns and cities.

Thornton Watlass (just over one and a half miles away) is a particularly pretty village, just north of Masham and south of Bedale on the eastern slopes of the Ure Valley at the entrance to Wensleydale and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The surrounding countryside is some of the finest in the region and the nearby facilities. The village has a small primary school and public house, The Buck Inn, as well as a cricket ground which forms the central green, one of Yorkshire smallest cricket grounds but equally charming.

Masham (just over three miles) is famous for its family-run breweries, steam engines and the annual sheep fair. A thriving community of artists, authors and craftsmen highlights the town's creative side and established links to JW Turner and Lewis Carroll.
