An exceptionally rare property, on the market for that first time in over forty years. Highfield Farm comprises an extremely well-located equestrian and residential smallholding of 15.8 acres, most recently operated as a commercial livery yard and within easy walking distance to the centre of Scalby village. Part of the original Wrea Head estate, which was sold off in 1966, Highfield comprises a period property which is now ready for a modern touch and restoration, together with a sizeable range of buildings and stables situated in lovely, wooded grounds and paddocks.  The house amounts to over 2,200 sq. ft which in brief comprises. Entrance vestibule leading to a large central hall with a well-proportioned, double aspect sitting room to the side, front facing study or snug, breakfast room, kitchen and utility room with cloakroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms and the house bathroom. Mature grounds encircle the house and there is a sizable double garage with adjoining ancillary storage. Highfield Farm is set within 15.8 acres of pastureland made up in part of the original parkland to Wrea Head. The land is gently undulating and affords direct views of the sea with Scarborough castle in the foreground. The property has recently operated as a successful livery business, with excellent riding from the doorstep. A substantial range of buildings provides over 15,000 sq. ft of stabling, storage space, feed and tack rooms with direct access onto the land. The buildings are in need of improvement throughout, but provide a sizable footprint, perfect for American barn style stabling or other uses, subject to any necessary planning permissions.   LOCATION  Scalby is a well-served and sought-after village some three miles to the north of the sea-side town of Scarborough and lies just outside the eastern boundary of the North York Moors National Park.
