East Scrafton is a small rural hamlet within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. As the name suggests, the property is positioned on the side of a quiet country lane which links Caldburgh and the larger village of West Scrafton. Across the valley and a short drive is Carlton which benefits from a traditional village pub, village hall and has a great sense of community. The location is handy in relation to the nearby market towns of Leyburn, Hawes and Bedale and is still within reasonable commuting distance of the larger centres of Harrogate, Teesside & York.

DESCRIPTION The property comprises a desirable smallholding in a rural yet accessible location. Lane Farm House is an attractive detached stone built long house and is entered via a pleasant entrance hall

from which the rooms lead off. The hall leads to a fantastic kitchen diner with stone flagged floor, vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. There is a range of quality fitted units together with Range cooker and integrated appliances as well as a multi fuel stove. This is an excellent room for entertaining and a stable door leads out to the garden which is ideal in the summer months.

Also on the ground floor is a cosy lounge with multi fuel stove and dining room/study which offers flexibility and could be used as a home office or playroom. There is also a utility room, pantry with original stone shelves and a separate WC.

To the first floor are four bedrooms. The master is complemented by an ensuite shower room while the further bedrooms share use of a generous family three piece bathroom with freestanding bath.

Externally the property is complemented by pretty south facing gardens which feature a range of flower beds, trees and shrubs which also provides ample space for entertaining on the patio.

The property is further complemented by a large stone barn/ workshop with lean to and stables. This provides a very useful space and offers a variety of possible uses. To the rear of the building is a productive, well fenced grass paddock. There is a further detached stone barn which offers great storage and could offer scope for conversion subject to gaining the necessary planning consents. A further small garth and woodland area complete the smallholding.

Lane Farm House offers a rare opportunity and viewing is strongly advised.
