The village of West Heslerton, near Malton in North Yorkshire, is home to an exciting opportunity on a previously underutilised estate.
Tucked away behind the village pub, a one-acre walled garden offers a wonderful opportunity for a market gardener. The plot is ready for a new grower to take on its management, having been cleared back to grass while retaining several mature apple trees. Access is via a secure farmyard, and the site includes several storage sheds and a glasshouse that could be brought back into use with some rejuvenation.
Well-located just off the A64, the site is around 45 minutes from York and less than 20 minutes from the thriving market town of Malton. Widely recognised as Yorkshire’s food capital, Malton is home to a vibrant community of independent food businesses, creating excellent opportunities for a future grower to develop local sales and relationships.
The walled garden was historically part of an 18th-century hall, which is currently unused and forms part of wider proposals for development within the village. The landowner has a vision to develop the area around the nearby farmyard, becoming home to a small cluster of businesses, alongside a village shop and sports facilities. The neighbouring pub is already a great asset to the village, and the local primary school enjoys a strong relationship with the landowner, regularly using nearby woodland for nature-based learning.
Alongside the commercial potential for a new landseeker, the landowner is keen to see the garden become a valuable community asset. They are enthusiastic about opportunities for educational activities with the local school and other forms of community involvement. To help the right enterprise succeed, the landowner is willing to invest in improved access and infrastructure, as well as provide practical support through access to buildings, improved infrastructure and local contacts.
This is a unique opportunity for a regenerative grower to establish their new enterprise on this historic site, with the backing of a supportive landowner.
