Description:
Westow Grange Farm is an attractive residential and equestrian farm situated within the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Wolds between Malton and York. The property comprises a substantial, south facing, Grade II listed farmhouse with spacious gardens and grounds, an extensive complex of traditional stone buildings set around a courtyard and approximately 27.57 acres of arable and grassland offering agricultural and equestrian opportunities.
The property is situated in a slightly elevated position and benefits from attractive views towards the North York Moors to the north, the Yorkshire Wolds to the south and east and the Howardian Hills to the west. Since acquiring the property the current owners have carried out significant improvements whilst respecting the character and integrity of this lovely period property. The house offers six bedroom accommodation arranged over three floors together with two/three reception rooms, farmhouse kitchen and large utility. One of the first things to notice about Westow Grange Farm is the convenient, yet attractive setting and the far reaching views it enjoys in every direction. It occupies an elevated position, with the majority of the land sloping gently to the south and west.

LAND
Situated in a compact ring fence to the south and west of the property is 27.57 acres (11.15 hectares) of attractive and high quality arable and grassland.
The land was previously all farmed as arable land, but the current owners have
split the land into one reasonable sized arable field to the south and a temporary grass field to the west, which is split into two main paddocks.
The grassland has been designed to form two good sized paddocks suitable for agricultural use or for those with equestrian interests. The land is bordered by woodland and Howl Beck to the west. The land is well fenced and there is a purpose built livestock handling facility, to the east, adjoining the farmyard.
The arable land is productive being gently sloping and south and west facing and produces reasonably high yielding crops of cereals
The land is classified as Grade III on the Ministry of Agriculture Land Classification Plans.
The soil type is a mixture of Rivington 1 and Denchworth on the Soil Survey of England and Wales and such soils can be described as well drained coarse loamy soils over sandstone and slowly permeable seasonally waterlogged clayey soils with fine loam over clay.
