Introduction


Southfield Farm is a very high quality and well equipped Wolds arable farm situated within a popular farming district situated just south of Burton Fleming, between Hunmanby, Wold Newton and Rudston in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds.

The farm has been occupied by the Wells family since 1929 and is a therefore a genuinely rare opportunity to purchase an equipped ring fenced Wolds arable farm of this nature. The sale of the farm is following the unfortunate death of Mr Keith Wells who was extremely well regarded within the Yorkshire farming community and operating as T E Wells & Sons Ltd the farm was an award winning holding for crops, soil and agronomy management.

The farm comprises a well proportioned and spacious 5 bedroom Georgian farmhouse in lovely walled private garden and grounds, an attractive range of traditional buildings, a superb range of good quality modern buildings providing drying facilities and storage for over 1,000 tonnes of grain, first class workshop and general storage. The farm amounts to just over 322 acres within a ring fence with complete internal road access and no requirements to travel ‘off farm’ to access any fields.

Southfield Farm is situated immediately to the southern edge of Burton Fleming village and is located in a very private and peaceful position in a rural yet accessible position.

The farm is an ideal proposition for those looking for a very high quality, high yielding Wolds arable farm which has been farmed to an excellent standard by the current owners and benefits from modern high quality buildings and grain storage, large easy working fields on free draining soils and all situated within a ring fence.

The farming business has most recently been operated as a purely arable unit, providing a mixed rotation of winter wheat, winter and spring malting barley and oilseed rape which is operated alongside catch crops. The farm would also be capable of producing root crops including seed potatoes.
