Description

South Farm is a substantial smallholding located just east of York, offering great potential for renovation and enhancement. This property features a four-bedroom farmhouse along with various traditional and modern agricultural buildings, set within approximately 9.61 acres (3.89 hectares) of land which includes grassed paddocks and amenity woodland. The farmhouse, constructed from brick under a pitched pantile roof, comprises a functional internal layout with multiple living spaces on the ground floor and four bedrooms upstairs. Although the house presents an EPC rating of 'F', it stands as a blank canvas for renovation enthusiasts or investors looking to restore and modernize while taking advantage of its picturesque rural setting. The surrounding land is characterized by Grade 2 arable fields suitable for grazing, enhancing its agricultural appeal. With the main amenities connected including mains electricity, water, and oil-fired central heating plus scope for further developments or diversification into agricultural or leisure activities, this property represents a unique investment opportunity in Yorkshire’s scenic countryside. Additionally, the proximity to York's network ensures easy access to urban conveniences alongside the tranquility of rural life.
