A Most Interesting Country Property Which Must Be Viewed to be Appreciated

Nestling in an idyllic setting, betwixed Loftus and Grinkle, South Loftus Farm is a splendid individual detached house of merit which was constructed, we believe, in around 1990 and offers well designed and tastefully presented accommodation over three levels and designed in such a manner as to take full advantage of the panoramic views which are afforded over the town of Loftus to the coast beyond. The house stands in lovely private gardens beyond which lie approximately 7 acres of grazing land, apportioned as five gated fields, together with a most useful range of stone stables and buildings, which combine with the grazing land to make this AN EMINENTLY SUITABLE SMALL EQUESTRIAN PROPERTY. The buildings, subject to the necessary planning consent, offer further potential for the creation of more stabling or, indeed, conversion into residential units, making this potentially a property suitable for use as a livery establishment or, of course, making it of interest to the small property developer looking to realise further potential. The nearby town of Loftus offers a range of shopping facilities and amenities and for a wider range of amenities the historic market town of Guisborough and the picturesque fishing harbour of Whitby are both within comfortable driving distance. The North Yorkshire Moors National Park, encompassing some of the most beautiful countryside in the whole of the north of England, lies literally on the doorstep and the Coast and the industrial centres of Teesside are both within comfortable driving distance. This really is A MOST INTERESTING COUNTRY PROPERTY OF PARTICULAR APPEAL TO THOSE WITH EQUESTRIAN INTERESTS OR THOSE JUST SEEKING PRIVACY AND ANONYMITY IN A BEAUTIFUL RURAL SETTING - highly recommended.
