Description

Flinton Hill Farm is a substantial agricultural holding between Houghton-le-Spring and Sunderland, extending to approximately 437.34 acres of predominantly arable land, with additional permanent pasture and horse grazing. The land is described as generally well managed and provisionally classified as Grade 2 and 3. It is arranged in four main parcels and is offered as a whole or in eight lots, allowing for different purchase configurations. The farmyard includes modern agricultural sheds, hardstanding and vehicle circulation areas, with access from the A183. Four semi-detached cottages are arranged as two pairs. Each has three bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC, with sitting rooms and kitchen accommodation; utility rooms are also included. The cottages have double glazing and oil-fired central heating, and each has a garden and storage sheds or outbuildings. They are occupied under Assured Periodic Tenancies and are offered subject to those tenancies. Commercial horse-grazing licences also apply to parts of the holding for stated periods. The location provides road links via the A19 and A690, with Houghton-le-Spring nearby for everyday services. The scale of the land, farm buildings and separate cottage lots offers scope for an agricultural purchaser or other rural enterprise, subject to the relevant tenancy, licence, title and planning considerations.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is an unusually substantial rural project: around 437 acres of predominantly arable land, sizeable farm buildings and hardstanding, and four cottages with gardens and outbuildings. The listing offers the holding as a whole or in eight lots, giving buyers scope to consider different ways of acquiring and improving the property; alternative enterprise options are mentioned, though no specific conversion or approved use is established. The available exterior views look broadly serviceable, but the cottages are not shown internally, so their condition and any refurbishment scope cannot yet be assessed.

The WHOTS score is 51/100 (D, Weak Opportunity), with strong condition scoring from the visible views and a good location, but limited economics and incomplete price/value evidence. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet; the score does not establish that the asking price is cheap or dear.

Key opportunities

  • Extensive arable and pasture land, with the listing describing the land as generally in good heart and well managed.
  • Large agricultural sheds and hardstanding provide a substantial existing farmyard base.
  • Four cottages with gardens and outbuildings, with the option to consider the holding as a whole or through separate lots.
