A period former farmhouse which provides extensive accommodation but is in need of complete refurbishment and modernisation while, it is envisaged, being capable of retaining the pleasing architectural character of the mid 19th century property. In addition there is an adjoining barn built on 2 storeys which could provide (subject to gaining planning consents) an additional dwelling or a ‘granny’ annexe. Built in vernacular style with a wealth of period fittings including Yorkshire stone flagged floors and original fireplaces, the property stands in a generous plot, in all ¼ acre.

From the ring road to A64 roundabout, take the exit signed Seacroft (Tesco) and proceed to the next roundabout. Turn left onto (York Road) and proceed for approximately ½ mile where an open expanse of grass park is found, at the bottom adjacent to the Church, turn right onto ‘The Green’. Proceed down ‘The Green’ for about 200 metres and past the White Cottages (on the left) where a gap in the wooden railings provides for a track which extends currently as a footpath and Mayfield Farm is found on the left hand side, identified as number 69. There is no ‘for sale’ board.

The Green at Seacroft has special status as an area with a number of historic buildings worthy of preservation and a settled residential area of some attraction. While the farm house and barn are not listed, the local Planning Authority are anxious to seek the preservation of this characterful and historic property and would be sympathetic to careful restoration and adaptation to provide for additional accommodation on site. Further background on the planning potential can be obtained initially from the Agents.
