DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND

School House Farm is a mixed grassland and arable farm with planning for a 4

bedroom Agricultural Workers Dwelling and represents a rare opportunity to create

a bespoke farm in an attractive edge of village rural position, between Scarborough &

Filey.

The property benefits from a number farm buildings ranging from a recently erected

timber framed stock house, steel portal framed storage and stock sheds, silage clamp

and a range of self-contained stables. The farm has the benefit of planning permission

for the erection of a detached four bedroom farmhouse and there are currently two,

two bed static caravans with full planning permission are sited central to the farm and

provide existing accommodation.

Amounting to roughly 138 acres (58ha), the land varies from some very productive

free draining sandy loams soils to the south and then gently falls to some lower lying

flat peat land, with deep soils and appears in reasonable heart with a good sward of

grass capable of mowing or grazing. In recent years the land has produced good crops

of potatoes, wheat and barley.

The land is suitable for arable production, livestock or horse grazing and benefits from

stock proof fencing throughout.

LOCATION

The property is situated in an attractive rural location situated to the eastern edge of

the small village of Flixton situated between Staxton and Filey.

The property is accessed off the Filey Road on the immediate eastern edge of the

village. Flixton is a rural village situated 8 miles to the South of Scarborough and

5.5miles to the west of Filey. There is excellent road access onto the A1039 which

soon leads to the A64 (York road) and A165 (Hull road).

Travelling east from Malton on the A64, at Staxton round-a-about continue forward

towards Filey/Flixton, upon entering Flixton continue through the village, past the Fox

and Hounds Public House towards Folkton and after a short distance the land is on the

left hand side and can be identified by Cundalls For Sale board.

Scarborough, the nearest major town, is a Victorian seaside spa town and has a large range

of amenities and services with shops, restaurants, public houses, theatres, golf

courses, sports and leisure facilities along with a railway station with connections to

York, allowing access to the East Coast Mainline.
