A rare freehold parcel of 22.91 acres on the fringe of Scarborough, offered as open agricultural land currently used for pony grazing. The site includes paddocks, pasture and the remains of a former manor house that add historic character and potential for alternative uses subject to consents. The land benefits from a Countryside Stewardship agreement in place until December 2028 and an existing Natural England agreement protecting wildlife and newt ponds.
This holding suits buyers seeking a large countryside asset: farmers, equestrian users, or investors exploring agricultural income and longer-term development opportunity. Practical advantages include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for rural connectivity, and straightforward access from Stockshill Road and Main Street.
Buyers should note material constraints: the site contains protected-species habitat (newt ponds) with an active agreement, which will restrict works and require liaison with Natural England. The stewardship payments end in 2028. There is above-average local crime and the ruined manor remains on-site, so any redevelopment would need planning permission, surveys and possible restoration or clearance work. Viewing and proposals should take statutory environmental and heritage considerations into account.
