A 103-acre farm that includes a farmhouse, granary and a ‘hidden’ regenerated woodland has entered the market for over £1m – giving someone a unique opportunity to help the sustainability of farming across North Yorkshire.
Amid a competition for large farms, it was announced that Cindra How Farm, on the edge of Grewelthorpe Moor in North Yorkshire, had come on the market with a guide price of £1.1m
According to property agents, GSC Grays, who are marketing the farm, the land is located “in an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers environmental, wildlife and conservation opportunities”.

The farm, which includes the opportunity to renovate and extend the two-bedroom farmhouse into the adjoining granary, used to be a dairy farm, but is currently managed to combine livestock grazing with environmental benefits.
It has modern cattle housing, barns, former dairy buildings, and a lofted stone barn.
Cindra How Farm, which enjoys outstanding views of the Grewelthorpe Moor and Nidderdale, has around 103 acres and several sustainability opportunities with the top of the farm, adjoining the moor, featuring an area of about eight acres of naturally regenerated woodland.
At the southern end is a small beck banked by native trees including ash, alder and oak and stone walls with built-in stiles which follow the land contours in the traditional style.
There are also wet areas for ponds, upland pastures for wildflower meadows and many ground-nesting birds including curlew, lapwing, and golden plover.
The farm has good transport links and is 12 miles from the A1 while the East Coast mainline stations of Northallerton and Thirsk offer services to York, Leeds, London, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
The nearest airports are Leeds Bradford Airport (27 miles) and Teesside International (35 miles).
According to GSC Grays, Cindra How Farm won’t be on the market for long – with this demand being due to a restricted supply of good quality large farms when they do become available, while smaller residential farms are also attracting considerable interest and cash-funded offers.
John Coleman, who heads up GSC Grays Specialist Farms and Country House agency, said: “Cindra How Farm enjoys a wonderful location and has come onto the market at a time of strong demand, and we expect this unprecedented interest to continue throughout 2022.
“We are also seeing significant interest from corporate and private non-farming investors in the developing market for carbon investment, offsetting opportunities and rewilding.”
