Property description & features

SOLD, by BoultonCooper July 2021. If you are thinking of selling your property, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A rare opportunity to purchase an attractive, residential grassland farm, in a delightful setting with outstanding panoramic views across North Yorkshire. Buskhill Farm is conveniently located 6 miles south of Malton and 15 miles north east of the city of York.

The homestead stands in a prominent situation on the southern edge of the property and includes a period five-bedroom farmhouse that extends internally to over 2300 sq.ft. Adjacent to the farmhouse lie the ancillary domestic and farm buildings, which are a mixture of traditional stone structures and more modern farm buildings.
The whole farmstead would benefit from a programme of renovation and possible re-development subject to the necessary consents. The grassland is in a ring fence and runs away to the north of the homestead.

Buskhill Farm will appeal to a wide range of prospective purchasers, including those with agricultural, equestrian, or residential interests.
The property is offered for sale as a whole or in 3 lots, but any other preferred combination would be considered.

In all 106.70 acres or thereabouts.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
