savills.co.uk Situation Spring House Farm is situated in the heart of the renowned farming area of the Vale of York. Surroundings are predominantly arable fields interspersed with attractive woodlands and shelterbelts. The East Coast mainline railway runs through the farm.

The farm has good transport connections, being only 18 miles from York railway station, from which services to London Kings Cross can take under 2 hours. The A19 trunk road (2.6 miles to the east) provides access to York, Thirsk, and onwards to the A1 and Leeds.

Racing can be enjoyed at York, Thirsk, Ripon or Wetherby all within 25 miles. Easingwold Golf Course is about 5 miles to the east.

Description Spring House Farm is a versatile equipped arable farm with four residential properties and over 460 acres of Grade 2 and 3 soils. The farm has been run by the outgoing tenants as a traditional arable unit with cereals, root crops and grass ley rotations.

The farmstead sits in the centre of the holding adjacent to the East Coast mainline, with land accessed via internal tracks or the public highway (Hag Lane) which follows the northern boundary of the farm.

Traditional buildings To the immediate west of Cottages 3 & 4 is an extensive range of traditional farm buildings, brick built with fibre cement, slate and steel profile roofs which have historically been used for stabling, grain, livestock and machinery storage. Many of the buildings are double height with mezzanines and include some wonderful historic features, such as brick archways, enclosed courtyards and foldyards. The buildings now provide occasional storage but have obvious potential for redevelopment into residential, commercial or leisure uses.

Planning application Following a positive pre-application, a full submission was made to redevelop the whole farmstead for residential purposes (Ref. No: 20/00116/FUL). The application has been withdrawn to allow a purchaser to proceed as they wish. The application submitted included demolition of modern grain store and Dutch barn, part demolition of the stable extension and the change of use of existing agricultural buildings to facilitate the development of up to 8 no. dwellings, associated car parking, gardens, drainage and the creation of a new access to the site. All application details can be found on the Hambleton District Council Planning website using the reference above.

Land The farmland lies in a ring fenced block surrounding the farmstead and divided by the railway, with some fields benefitting from direct access to Hag Lane. The land very gently undulates but for the most part is flat at around 15-20 metres above sea level. The land is classified as Grade 2 and 3 under the MAFF Provisional Agricultural Land Classification. The soils west of the railway line are from the Kexby series, common to the locality and described as a fine sandy soil.

Lot 2 Lot 2 To the east of the railway soils are from the Newport 1 series, a sandy and coarse loamy soil. Both soil types are described as suitable for cereals, potatoes and sugar beet. The farm has supported a typical cereal rotation in recent years with some of the land capable of growing potatoes, carrots, maize and beet.

Woodland The farm includes two mature woodlands which together total 21.7 acres. These have historically been used for shooting and add to the amenity of the property.
