Description

Situated on the outskirts of a village, this expansive farm offers considerable development potential across its 95 acres (38.45 hectares). Manor Farm, located at the northern edge of High Ackworth, features predominantly arable land extending northwest towards Purston Jaglin and Featherstone. Originally comprising two cottages that were combined into one in 1949, the farmhouse retains traditional charm while presenting opportunities for modernization. The homestead includes a sizable four-bedroom farmhouse alongside a variety of brick and stone buildings ripe for conversion or enhancement, subject to planning consents. This property is offered in its entirety or divided into five separate lots. Lot 1 contains the farmhouse with its ancillary brick structures and a modern yard spanning 3.65 acres. The remaining lots consist of arable land parcels, ideal for agricultural pursuits or potential residential development given their location and accessibility to major roadways such as the A1, M1, and M62. The property's various outbuildings include machinery sheds and stables—additional spaces that could be repurposed for alternative uses. The extensive grounds are classified as Grade 3 agricultural land, suitable for crops like cereals and potatoes, adding further value to this investment opportunity. With both mains water and electricity already connected to the farmhouse and a three-phase supply available on site, immediate renovations can begin upon acquisition.
