Highbury Farm, Duggleby, Malton

Handsome period farmhouse with outbuildings offering great scope and opportunity.

Highbury Farmhouse is a notably complete Yorkshire farmstead, arranged around a broad courtyard enclosed by a substantial collection of traditional brick buildings.

Together they offer exceptional flexibility, with the potential to provide an outstanding family home well suited to multi-generational living.

Find Out A Little More .... - Highbury Farm is a property of character that offers both scale and flexibility. Arranged around a traditional courtyard, the property comprises a four-bedroom farmhouse, an adjoining two-bedroom cottage and a comprehensive range of traditional brick-and-pantile outbuildings. The outbuildings include a variety of barns, former stables and stores, presenting opportunities for a wide range of uses. Whether retained for agricultural, equestrian or storage purposes, or adapted to alternative uses, subject to planning permission, the buildings represent one of the property's greatest assets.

The Birdsall Estate is offering the opportunity for a purchaser with equestrian interests to rent the adjoining 5.2 acre field on a 40 year lease. Please contact the agent for further details.

The farmhouse sits on an east-west axis and is arranged around a central hall and landing, enjoying attractive views over the courtyard and across gardens bordering open countryside. A spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a peninsula island and breakfast bar and a series of generously proportioned rooms across two floors are complemented by original features including large sash windows and traditional fireplaces.

The adjoining two-storey cottage – with an inter-connecting door on the first floor - provides valuable ancillary accommodation, equally suited to dependent relatives, guests or staff, whilst also offering income potential, subject to any necessary consents. It is currently run as an established holiday let business with a high occupancy rate.

Outside - A five-bar gate within a brick wall capped with stone opens on an extensive yard providing a generous turning area and parking for multiple vehicles. The lawned garden at the rear is part-walled with well-established shrubs and trees.
