A North Yorkshire farm that stretches for 100 acres, includes a four-bedroom main house and planning consent for three houses, has come on the market for a hefty price tag.

The impressive and successful farm, which is located towards the historic village of Patrick Brompton, is currently on the market for £1.65m – and is perfect for someone who wants to take on such a challenge.

Formerly a dairy farm, housing group GSC Grays, who are selling the property, says that Old Park House Farm is an attractive, small mixed farm in an accessible location close to the market town of Bedale and a short distance from the A1.

Planning and Listed Building consent has been given - offering the opportunity to convert the good range of modern and traditional stone buildings into three dwellings.

The Grade 3 arable land and productive pastures extend to about 99 acres and includes an amenity woodland and beck running through the farm.

The farm buildings are centred around a former range of traditional stone buildings with a granary, byres and open courts.

Many of the buildings have more modern additions to extend accommodation for dairy cows and are now used for general livestock housing and handling along with storage.

There is a large area of concrete yard and hard standing for vehicles and baled silage with excellent livestock handling and loading facilities.

John Coleman who heads up GSC Grays Specialist Farms and Country House agency, said “Old Park House Farm appeals to both farmers and non-farmers and offers considerable scope for development with existing planning permission in place for three dwellings.

“The farm has a long approach road that is very private with no Public Bridleways and Footpaths. This is a very rare scenario in such a popular residential and agricultural area.”

The property is located 14 miles from the market town of Northallerton where there is a rail station on the east coast main line, providing services to and from Edinburgh, Middlesborough, Manchester Airport, York, Leeds, Liverpool and London.
