Description

Marrow Flatts Farm is a mainly arable holding between Ripon and Thirsk, comprising approximately 96.93 acres in a largely ring-fenced block. The land includes around 95.69 acres of Grade 2 farmland, mostly arable, with permanent pasture and a small area of woodland. The arable land is subject to a Farm Business Tenancy ending on 31 August 2027; vacant possession of the house, buildings and grassland is available on completion. The property is offered as a whole. The farmhouse is a three-bedroom brick property of approximately 1,172 sq ft, with a pantile roof. Its ground floor includes an entrance vestibule, breakfast kitchen, sitting room, dining room, wet room and dairy. There are three bedrooms upstairs, one with a shower room, and an adjoining outbuilding or store. The house requires some upgrading. The farmstead includes traditional brick and cobble buildings arranged around a fold yard, garaging, a Dutch barn and modern steel-framed buildings including grain and machinery stores. The agent describes the main steel-framed building as being in good condition, while some other buildings need repair and the traditional range has limited agricultural use. Alternative uses for buildings may be considered, subject to the necessary consents. A 25-year overage clause applies if non-agricultural or non-equestrian development consent is obtained for the buildings or land, with the vendor entitled to 50% of the increase in value.

37out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Marrow Flatts Farm has a distinctive mix of a modest farmhouse, traditional and modern farm buildings, and nearly 97 acres of predominantly Grade 2 farmland. The farmhouse needs upgrading, while some traditional building roofs are visibly worn and the listing says some buildings need repair; the modern general-purpose and grain store is described as being in good condition. The traditional range may offer scope for alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents.

As a renovation-led purchase, the asking price is the major challenge: £1.5 million is about £1,280 per sq ft for the 1,172 sq ft farmhouse, compared with a local average of £297 per sq ft. That comparison is for the farmhouse floor area, while the sale also includes substantial farmland and farm buildings, but the overall WHOTS result remains a low-opportunity score. Interior condition and the precise repair scope are not shown, so those would need careful inspection.

Key opportunities

  • Upgrade the brick farmhouse and shape its interior around a buyer’s preferred finish.
  • Explore the traditional buildings’ potential for alternative uses, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
  • The holding combines productive arable land and pasture with modern farm buildings, including a main store described as being in good condition.

Key risks

  • Some traditional farm-building roofs appear worn and patchy, and the listing says some buildings need repair; inspect their condition and repair scope.
  • The farmhouse interior is not shown, so its upgrading requirements cannot be assessed from the available views.
