Situation & Amenities Oxbank Farm lies in a convenient location just half a mile east of the main A19 York-Teesside trunk road and approximately equidistant between the villages of Knayton and Osmotherly thereby making for quick and easy access to the A1 Great North Road, the wider motorway network and the commercial centres of Teesside and the West riding. Teesside International Airport lies about 17 miles to the north. There are main line railway stations at York, Northallerton and Thirsk providing services to London (Kings Cross), Newcastle and Edinburgh as well as the transpennine route. There is a full range of facilities in the popular market towns of Northallerton and Thirsk. Accommodation Believed to date from the Victorian era, Oxbank Farm is constructed of attractive brick elevations under a slate roof and recently has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of restoration and upgrading. It now offers extremely well appointed and flexible modern living accommodation of quite some quality and style. The interior of the property has been finished to an exacting standard and boasts recessed ceiling lighting, contemporary bathroom suites and high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout.

Of particular note is the Oak-framed gable end Entrance Hall leading to a superb fitted Kitchen with stone slate floor, an extensive range of Oak worksurfaces with base cupboards beneath, Rangemaster stove with 5 ring Induction hob and double oven, integrated Whirlpool dishwasher, single bowl stainless steel sink unit with adjoining vegetable sink, larder cupboard and Island Unit with matching Oak surface and Breakfast Bar.

At present the property is for the most part given over to equestrian use and indeed, the stabling and other facilities are quite superb.
