Moatfield Farm is a substantial rural holding offering clear development and refurbishment potential. The sale includes a three-bedroom detached bungalow, a cluster of large agricultural buildings and approximately 1.48 acres of grass paddock, all with road frontage to Willitoft Road. The house and outbuildings will need significant work or possible demolition and rebuild, so this is best suited to a buyer prepared to manage renovation or a planning-led project.
The existing bungalow is structurally traditional but requires complete modernisation; roof repairs are needed and the property currently has an EPC rating of E. Several farm buildings have mixed roof construction, including asbestos sheeting on some units, and will require careful dismantling or remediation. Services include mains water and electricity; heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators.
For developers or investors, the site’s size, roadside access and rural setting present scope for alternative uses (equine, leisure, or residential redevelopment) subject to planning consent. Note there is an overage clause: vendors retain 25% of any uplift in value from additional residential planning consents for 30 years. Interested parties should factor in the cost and timescale of obtaining consents and of site remediation.
This offering suits a buyer seeking a blank‑canvas rural project close to Howden and within reach of York. The location delivers quiet, open countryside with low crime and affordable council tax, but also limited local services, average mobile signal and slow broadband speeds.
