THE PROPERTY
An unparalleled opportunity to acquire a characterful farmhouse set in 8.73 Acres with a range of brick built barns and agricultural building included
Model Farm lies in arguably one of the finest parts of the YO8 postcode in an outstanding position, which lies betwixt Selby and York and has far reaching and unrestricted views over open countryside. The farmhouse, which is approached along an extensive private driveway sits comfortably within a rural landscape with the available land predominantly to the south and east.
The farmhouse requires a comprehensive programme of renovation works yet is sure to be of interest to those looking for a similar opportunity and developers alike. The scope and potential is undoubtedly there, either by way of extending into the adjoining barns and reconfiguring the internal arrangement, or re-developing the barns into a separate dwelling, subject to planning permission and building regulations approval. The property is served by a septic tank for wastewater disposal and does not have a central heating system.
The house itself delivers over 1,800 sq. ft. of living accommodation, which has been extended over time by the present owners. More recently, a ground floor bathroom has been created by converting part of the adjoining barn. The ground floor is largely made up of a kitchen living area and a family room. To the first floor, there are three well proportioned double bedrooms and an incomplete house bathroom.
THE LAND
The land is split into 4 lots, each with their own access. The land is classified as Grade 2 and falls within the Wigton Moor Soil series and is characterised as permeable fine and loamy soils variably affected by ground water, suitable for growing cereals and roots.
The land within lots 1,2 and 3 surround the farm but all have separate access routes. Lot 4 is separate from the farm.
FARM BUILDINGS
To the rear of the farmhouse there is a timber framed foldyard, under an asbestos cement roof with concrete floor. Leading to a single-story range of traditional buildings, built with a mix of concrete block and brick, under a slate and asbestos cement roof. Connected to both farmhouse and traditional buildings is a 2-storey brick barn under a slate roof.
To the north side is a brick building 2 story under a fibre cement roof. This is then attached to the office which has been converted from a former dairy.
To the south side of the yard there is a 18.3m x 18.3m former grain store, which is currently used to house machinery. Being steel portal framed with concrete block to 2 meters under an asbestos cement roof and with concrete floor and 2 sliding doors. The building benefits from both electric and water.
Drainage Rates
The property is liable for drainage rates, payable to the Selby Board.
