North Yorkshire farm brought to market for £1.5m

A mainly arable farm extending to 97 acres (39.23 ha) has been brought to the market near Copt Hewick, between Ripon and Thirsk, with a guide price of £1.5m.

Marrow Flatts Farm is being marketed by rural property consultancy Lister Haigh and is being offered for sale as a whole by private treaty. It has been in the same family ownership since the late 1800’s.

The holding includes a three-bedroom brick-built farmhouse, a range of traditional farm buildings and modern agricultural buildings, together with productive Grade 2 farmland.

Much of the land is ring-fenced arable amounting to approximately 86.49 acres (35.00 ha) and approximately 7.47 acres (3.02 ha) of permanent pasture, currently grazed with sheep. There is also woodland including a useful hard standing of 1.73 acres (0.70 ha).

The farmhouse extends to approximately 1,172 sq ft over two floors. The ground floor includes a breakfast kitchen, sitting room, dining room, wet room and pantry, with three bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor. The property requires some upgrading.

The farmstead includes a substantial range of traditional brick and cobble buildings arranged around a central fold yard, alongside a Dutch barn and modern steel portal-framed buildings. The modern buildings include two grain stores and a machinery store, with the main steel-framed building being in good condition.

The farmhouse, buildings and grassland will be available with vacant possession on completion, whilst the arable land is subject to a Farm Business Tenancy running until 31 August 2027.

Catherine Johnston, from Lister Haigh, said: “Marrow Flatts Farm is a useful agricultural holding in a well-connected part of North Yorkshire, combining a significant area of Grade 2 farmland with a farmhouse and a broad range of agricultural buildings.

“The property provides an established agricultural unit, whilst the farmhouse and traditional buildings offer additional interest for prospective purchasers, so they may have potential for alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning and other consents.”

Marrow Flatts Farm is located near the A1(M), east of Sharow, with Ripon and Thirsk both within easy reach. Further information, click here or call 01423 860 322.
