BUYERS looking for a country property that combines a spacious, practical and beautifully modernised family home with substantial gardens and grounds in a stunning rural location, yet with excellent connectivity, will find all that and much more besides at Primrose Hill Farm.
This handsome former farmhouse, with origins in the 17th century, was largely rebuilt in 2010 to create a substantial home bordering open countryside.
Set at the end of a sweeping driveway, it enjoys considerable privacy within its grounds, with the cherry on the top being panoramic views towards Roseberry Topping and Captain Cook’s Monument high on Easby Moor, part of the Cleveland Hills that form the north-western edge of the North York Moors National Park.

Inside it has been thoughtfully updated in recent years, with careful attention to building in character while introducing high-quality finishes throughout.
Its light-filled kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with granite-topped country-style units and is home to a range of integrated appliances including a Rangemaster cooker plus an exposed wood ceiling beam that adds character.
