Farm for sale

Carr House Farm comprises a fully equipped arable and grass farm let on an Agricultural Holdings Act (AHA) 1986 tenancy, occupying a pleasant position with the farmhouse overlooking the majority of the land. Having been owned by the same family for five generations, this is believed to be the first occasion the property has been available to purchase for over 150 years.

Contained within a ring fence, the farm includes a substantial period farmhouse constructed of stone/brick under a pantile roof with timber and UPVC double glazed windows and divided into two dwellings. The farm buildings include traditional brick and stone ranges and an extensive range of more modern buildings constructed by the tenant. Operated as a dairy unit for many years, Carr House Farm has more recently been managed as a mixed arable and livestock unit, alongside a popular touring caravan site.

Located in the Vale of Pickering, Carr House Farm is situated between 10m and 20m above sea level within a renowned farming area, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Access is via ‘Tofts Road,’ an unclassified adopted highway, leading from ‘Malton Road’ near the ‘Beansheaf’ crossroads. The land can also be accessed from Kirby Misperton Road which adjoins the southern boundary.
