DESCRIPTIONWestfield Farm is an attractive and highly versatile residential farm situated in a delightful rural setting on the edge of Normanby, within the Vale of Pickering and conveniently located between the market towns of Kirkbymoorside and Malton. Historically the farm was the main base for a much larger farming operation housing a large dairy herd and in recent years the farm has, until recently, been operated as a productive grassland-based suckler enterprise carrying approximately 70 suckler cows together with their followers and the conversion outbuildings to two cottages has provided a useful additional income stream. The property comprises a traditional brick-built 4 bedroom farmhouse, two established 1 bedroom holiday cottages, an extensive range of traditional and modern farm buildings and in all, approximately 66.17 acres (26.78 hectares) of productive grassland. The principal farmhouse provides spacious and well-appointed family accommodation extending to approximately 2,553 sq ft (237.18 sq m), whilst the two holiday cottages are currently operated as part of a successful holiday letting business, providing a valuable and well-established supplementary income stream. The adjoining traditional buildings offer significant scope for further expansion and diversification and one building still has planning consent in situ to convert to a further 1 bedroom holiday cottage. The farm has an extensive range of agricultural buildings, extending to approximately 29,972 sq ft (2,784.53 sq m), provides excellent accommodation for livestock, machinery and fodder storage, making the property well suited to continued agricultural use. The land comprises predominantly productive grassland suitable for grazing and mowing and is well laid out in a number of useful field enclosures surrounding and adjoining the main farmstead. There is also the benefit of river frontage and fishing rights onto the river Seven. Westfield Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly adaptable rural property combining an attractive family home, established holiday letting business, extensive agricultural infrastructure and productive grassland in a particularly accessible and desirable part of North Yorkshire.LOCATION The property is set on the edge of village of Normanby which benefits from a good public house and is set within 4.5-miles of Sinnington which offers a modest range of services and amenities including public houses, village hall and church.  The market town of Kirkbymoorside is just over 4 miles away and offers a range of services and amenities, including schools, supermarkets, shops, and sporting and recreational activities.  The popular market town of Malton is approximately 9 miles south and offers a further range of services and amenities, including convenience stores, supermarkets, educational and health care institutes, including doctors, dental surgery and a hospital.
