See Inside this Fabulous Yorkshire Farmhouse With its Own Lake

Rokeby Close Farm is a four-bedroom stone farmhouse which retains many charming features despite being recently modernised with bespoke fittings throughout. You enter into the welcoming reception hall with conservatory-style panoramic windows and wooden parquet flooring, and a squared arch leads to the dining room with painted timber beams. The fireplace with wood-burning stove invites relaxation.

Double doors open to the south-facing sunroom which fills the property with natural light, and entertaining is made easy in the open-plan sitting area and kitchen, complete with a grand fireplace and log burner. The elegant drawing room also has a log-burning stove and is the perfect place to enjoy the countryside views. Also on this floor is a home gym, with a sauna and shower facilities. The four ensuite double bedrooms upstairs include a spacious principal bedroom.

There’s ample parking at the front of the property and an integrated double garage. The front garden’s lawns are dotted with trees, leading around to the rear and down to the standout feature of this property – the tranquil spring-fed lake with an abundance of fish (common carp, mirror carp, crucian carp, tench, rudd, dace, roach and ide). It has recently been improved by the current owners, doubling the width of the pathways around it, and it’s a wildlife haven, howe to oyster catchers, mallard ducks, moorhens and geese. 

A south-facing patio area, summer house and hot tub are equally peaceful places in which to unwind in summer. This property also has a fully protected chicken coop and a nearby stone-built barn with a paddock with potential for development (subject to planning).

Within easy reach of Barnard Castle, Richmond and the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Rokeby Close Farm is the ideal home for keen walkers, cyclists and riders, and is also within easy access of local shops, restaurants and cafés.
