An exceptionally spacious & endlessly versatile village property set in over 4 acres, comprising two principal houses & two further letting cottages, together with beautiful grounds, ample parking, outbuildings & paddock land. Perfect multi-generational opportunity with first rate holiday letting enterprise.

Westfield Farm is a first-rate residential complex comprising a Grade II Listed former farmhouse, together with three further self-contained properties set in over four acres. It currently serves as an exceptional multi-generational home for two families in addition to a highly successful holiday letting enterprise from the remaining two properties.

Each of the four elements have their own distinct character, with unparalleled workmanship carried out to exacting standards and attention to detail evident throughout.

Three of the properties – Westfield Farm, The Long House and Ash Garth Cottage all have interlinked doorways, which would enable them to be occupied as one large residence, if required. The latter two are currently run as high-quality holiday lets, as demonstrated by their 5-Star Gold ratings, impressive reviews and repeat bookings. The most recent addition, Chestnut Cottage, has been converted within the last three years with outstanding results. From its enviable position, the property enjoys incredible views across uninterrupted countryside. Please note that this particular element is subject to a local needs occupancy condition (further details on request).

The gardens and grounds, which have been expertly landscaped and maintained, more than live up to the standard of the properties themselves. Each has their own private areas and overall, they feature well-manicured lawns, shrub borders, two natural ponds, a productive fruit orchard, patios and terraces. There is ample room to park and a useful range of outbuildings, including agricultural barn, open-fronted double car port, fuel store and hobby room. Beyond the gardens there is a newly established spinney and grass paddock, making Westfield Farm an ideal proposition for anyone with equestrian or smallholding interests.

Little Barugh is a peaceful, rural village set amidst beautiful, unspoilt countryside within the Vale of Pickering. Despite its rural setting, the village enjoys easy access to all four Ryedale market towns and the neighbouring village of Kirby Misperton benefits from a recently opened gastro-pub. The nearby market town of Malton offers a wide range of amenities and in recent years has gained a reputation as ‘Yorkshire’s Food Capital’, with its regular farmers markets, high profile food festivals and independent retailers. The railway station offers regular services to the mainline station of York, from where London can be reached in less than two hours. From a tourism perspective, the North York Moors are close at hand, as is the Heritage coast and the renowned stately home, Castle Howard, is only 4 miles away.

Westfield Farm

Built on the footprint of an earlier stone barn, Westfield Farm is one of two principal private residences on site.
