DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND Hall Farm is an equipped livestock farm, amounting in all, to around 192 acres and is situated in a fantastic rural position within the between Gilling East and Oswaldkirk.

The farmhouse comprises a reasonably modern 4 bedroom house subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Clause situated in a lovely position with outstanding views over open countryside.

There is a range of farm buildings providing livestock housing, machinery and produce storage.

The farm has operated as a mixed livestock enterprise and the land in all amounts to 192 acres, with around 148 acres situated in a ring fence with the farmstead and a slightly separate block of around 44 acres situated.

The farm has the benefit of a telecoms mast let to EE limited generating £5,000 per annum for a term of 20 years expiring on the 28th June 2037.

Rarely do farms in the Howardian Hills become available on the open market and there is the potential to modernise and improve the holding to provide a superb equipped livestock holding or develop an attractive residential farm.

LOCATION The farm is located in a rural position in open countryside between the villages of Gilling East, Oswaldkirk and Ampleforth in the Ryedale District of North Yorkshire within the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The property is accessed off Station Road which links Gilling East to Oswaldkirk. The property has a private driveway which leads to the farmstead.

Gilling East is a most attractive village situated only 5 miles from the pretty market town of Helmsley. The village is characterised by a broad main street with character properties, and benefits from a well renowned public house/restaurant.

The Market Town of Helmsley is only 4.5 miles distant and is situated on the southern fringe of the National Park. With a weekly market, an eclectic range of smart shops, hostelries and restaurants and high class delicatessens the town is an especially popular tourist destination. The town has a wide range of amenities, including primary school, surgery, library, thriving arts centre and recreation ground.

Further amenities are available in the market town of Easingwold 9 miles distant and the historic City of York is situated approximately 20 miles away with mainline trains available to Kings Cross, London and Edinburgh in within 2 hours.

4There are livestock markets at Malton, Ruswarp (Whitby) and Thirsk.

HOUSE The residential accommodation at the farm is situated in a property which was constructed in around 1990 and has a super rural sitting, nicely located to the south of the farmstead.

The property is subject to an agricultural occupancy clause and provides spacious family accommodation over two floors.

The property is accessed off Station Road onto a private drive which leads to the private and elevated farmstead

The accommodation comprises an attractive Entrance Hall which leads through to a Sitting Room, separate Snug with access to a Conservatory. There is a large Kitchen which links round to a Dining Room area which provides access to a Utility Room, Pantry and W.C. There is also a ground floor Bedroom and Shower Room. To the first floor is Master Bedroom with Shower Room, Three further Bedrooms and Bathroom.

Externally to the rear of the house is a large parking area and to the front of the house is an open lawned garden with Ha-Ha, an vegetable patch area, mixed trees and a superb outlook over open countryside.

The property benefits from UPVc double glazed windows and central heating.

The property is spacious and has potential to further develop into the attached building to the north subject to consents. Alternatively, there is the potential that the property could be totally re-developed like two other nearby new build agricultural workers dwellings within the local area to create a large modern yet traditionally designed stone farmhouse subject to the necessary consents.

Please note the attached garage and storage areas, do not have building regulation approval and the planning status is ‘unknown’. The property has historically had consent under reference 01/01028/FUL for “erection of double garage with accommodation above, single storey extension and conservator". It also understood that the original planning application for the agricultural workers dwelling in 1989 included a double garage linked to the farmhouse, however it is not known if what has been constructed has been built on the footprint of either of the above applications. We would therefore recommend offers are received on the basis that the extension to the north does not have planning consent.

Please note a log cabin is situated to the west of the house, however we understand that this property does not have planning consent and we recommend offers are submitted on this basis.
