Greystone Lodge Farm is a first class highly

productive mixed arable and grass farm.

There is a first class range of general purpose

and livestock buildings extending to over

27,000 sq ft.

The property represents an increasingly rare

opportunity to purchase a desirable mixed

farm situated between Northallerton and

Thirsk. It is situated in a very pleasant rural

position with views over open countryside.
