Strategically located commercial scale farm in the North East England comes to market at over £4 million
Flinton Hill Farm, an extensive versatile farm strategically located near Sunderland and the A19, has come to market with a guide price of £4,330,000.
The farm, at Chester Road, Penshaw, covers approximately 437.34 acres in total (176.99 hectares) and is for sale as a whole or in eight lots and features productive arable land, useful grazing, useful modern buildings, significant alternative enterprise opportunities and two pairs of farm cottages generating additional income.
John Coleman, Head of Farm Agency, GSC Grays said: “This is a very unusual, commercial scale farm, strategically well placed near the A19, offering opportunities for both farmers and rural business operators. With more than 380 acres of productive arable land, useful grazing, a sizeable yard and excellent buildings, it is an attractive proposition.
“There is no farmhouse, but the two pairs of cottages offer scope to create one while retaining useful income from the others.


“We are offering the farm as a whole or in eight lots, so we think it will appeal strongly to local buyers while also attracting wider national interest.”
Flinton Hill Farm is located approximately three miles west of Sunderland city centre on the A19, with good access to the A1(M) and the A690, which provides a direct link between Durham and Sunderland. The farm is also within easy reach of important livestock and agricultural trading centres, including Darlington, Hexham and Thirsk.
The farm naturally divides into four land parcels, with the farm buildings included within Lot 1, while the semi-detached cottages, which each have a generous area of gardens and grounds with various storage sheds and outbuildings, are available separately.
The farm comprises approximately 382.46 acres of Grade 2 and 3 arable land, around 45.17 acres of pastureland and 9.72 acres of scrub, tracks and yard.
A well configured array of secure agricultural buildings is arranged around extensive areas of hardstanding, providing excellent vehicle circulation, loading space and external storage areas.
There is a previous consent for an equestrian indoor arena, considered suitable for a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
