Holme Field House, Burton Fleming, YO25

Council tax band: E.

This spacious former farmhouse needs general modernisation and improvement, but it offers enormous potential and stands on a large site that has recently had a favourable response to a pre-application submission for the construction of a pair of semi-detached bungalows. The property offers around 2,000 sq. ft of floor space over two floors, including three reception rooms along the front of the house, and a kitchen, pantry, and boot room across the rear. Upstairs, there are three front-facing double bedrooms, a large en-suite bathroom, a fourth bedroom with a shower, and a currently unused attic room on the first floor, which is only accessible via a ladder through a hatch in the kitchen ceiling and would originally have been the sleeping quarters for the farm labourers.

The property is situated on a large plot with extensive garden areas and ample parking space. A range of traditional outbuildings, which sit behind the house, offers scope to convert and link to the existing accommodation, subject to securing the necessary consents. The plot sits within the Burton Fleming development limits and adjoins the former farmyard, which has approved plans for the construction of five dwellings (now within separate ownership).
