Great Habton, Malton

A TRADITIONAL FARMSTEAD WITH PLANNING CONSENT FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT & CONSISTING OF A SUBSTANTIAL, GRADE II LISTED FARMHOUSE (CURRENTLY TWO LARGE DWELLINGS), PLUS FORMER SERVANT’S QUARTERS, FARMYARD WITH PLANNING CONSENT TO CONTRUCT SIX DWELLINGS, DUTCH BARN WITH PLANNING CONSENT FOR CONVERSION & LAND EXTENDING TO APPROXIMATELY 14.5 ACRES IN TOTAL.

OFFERED FOR SALE AS A WHOLE OR IN SIX LOTS.

Set in almost 14.5 acres, Manor Farm consists of a substantial, Grade II Listed farmhouse (currently two large dwellings), former servant’s quarters, a farmstead with outline planning consent for the construction of 6 dwellings, a Dutch barn with planning consent for conversion and a range of grass paddocks. The property enjoys a pleasant position within the village, affording a good level of privacy.

The three-storey Georgian farmhouse is constructed of brick beneath a slate roof and retains a good number of period features. At present the property is divided into two separate dwellings, but with the potential reconfigure as one large residence. A further two-storey wing on the eastern side, which formerly served as servant’s quarters, has been stripped out and offers excellent potential to create a useful annexe/holiday let or even a further dwelling (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). The house requires some modernisation and upgrading but has huge scope.

In November 2025, outline planning consent has been obtained to demolish the bulk of the existing portal frame buildings and construct six new dwellings. Indicative drawings show that these will take the form of two blocks of three, to be built in the style of converted farm buildings and will not be subject to any local occupancy condition.

A Dutch barn positioned at the eastern edge of the farmstead has the benefit of a separate planning consent (July 2025), to convert to a substantial single dwelling. This will enjoy a good outlook across open countryside.

Grassland adjoining the farmstead amounts to approximately 11.5 acres and includes a separate access onto Ryton Rigg Road.

The owners of Manor Farm also hold Lord of the Manor / manorial rights, together with some further land which is located outside of the village, which is offered as a further lot.
