A North Yorkshire family home featuring three investment properties and an historic working water mill has come to market with offers invited over £1,300,000.
Set in nearly four acres near Bedale, Crakehall Watermill is a remarkable and versatile property offering a range of income streams alongside a fantastic family home. The site has a rich history, with a mill recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086. The current mill dates from the 17th century and was once owned by the famed Neville family of Middleham Castle, before becoming Crown Property in the 15th century and later sold by James I in 1624.
Still in operation today, the working mill produces specialist flour using traditional methods and materials which is sold locally across retail outlets in North Yorkshire.
Lizzie Tate, Associate Director at GSC Grays, said: “Crakehall Watermill is a truly unique property, nestled in a highly sought after village location, offering a versatile and flexible business opportunity with a variety of income streams, as well as a fantastic family home.”
The Grade II listed Watermill House is set over three floors with five bedrooms and a wealth of period features including a traditional spindle staircase, sash windows and various attractive fireplaces It offers the potential to reinstate the previous Bed and Breakfast business if desired.
The property is approached by a tree-lined drive with the mill pond running adjacent, leading to a substantial parking area, which is shared with the cottages which sleep 2, 4 and 6 people.
Besides the main house and watermill, there are the three cottages – two are currently being run as successful holiday lets and are the perfect base to explore the Yorkshire Dales – while there is also an additional two-bedroom cottage with a long-term tenant.
There are also two paddocks and additional outbuildings comprising storage, workshop and a log shed. One paddock could be used for equestrian pursuits while the other could be reinstated as a five pitch caravan site.
The village of Crakehall is close to the market town of Bedale, with the A684 providing access to the Yorkshire Dales National Park as well as connections to both the A1(M) and A19. There is a mainline railway station at Northallerton, which sits on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh, offering excellent transport links. Ripon, Harrogate, York and Leeds are also all within easy reach.
Crakehall Watermill is currently on the market with GSC Grays Richmond office with a guide price of £1,300,000. Tel 01748 897630.
