Rush House Farm is a substantial residential farmstead set in about 161 acres of productive Grade 3 arable land, stables, paddocks and a surfaced manège. The stone farmhouse (recently modernised) provides generous family accommodation across about 3,697 sq ft with five bedrooms, underfloor heating to much of the ground floor, double garage and south-facing lawned garden with open views. The holding includes a 4kW solar array, mains services, private sewage treatment plant and extensive modern farm buildings adaptable for agricultural or equestrian use.
The range of buildings comprises a large monopitch cattle shed, a general-purpose portal frame building, lean-to stables with six loose boxes and an outdoor Hymas arena with floodlights — features that suit equestrian, lifestyle or continuing farming enterprises. The arable land is entered into stewardship agreements (mid-tier and SFI) enhancing biodiversity; soils of the Dunkeswick series are capable of good yields. There is scope to purchase the farm as a whole or to buy in two lots, with Lot 1 offering the house, buildings and about 31 acres for those prioritising a lifestyle/equestrian base.
Known constraints are factual and should be considered: broadband speeds are slow; council tax is described as quite expensive; mines and mineral rights are reserved to previous owners; some grants/payments will be claimed by the seller and the SFI scheme will end on completion. Buyers should also note that certain historic planning consents exist (agricultural building, dwelling extensions, and an unimplemented racehorse training consent) which may inform future change-of-use or development ambitions.
This property will suit buyers seeking a productive small farm or an equestrian/lifestyle base within easy reach of Thirsk and the A19. It combines immediate usability with scope for purchasers to adapt buildings or farming strategy. Viewings are advised for those wanting to assess house specification, yard layout and the arable land quality in person.
