High Jobs Hill Farm is a substantial 26-acre smallholding near Crook, anchored by a two-bedroom farmhouse with sweeping southerly countryside views. The farmhouse offers two reception rooms, kitchen, utility, bathroom and an attached garage, comfortably suited as a main residence while you develop the wider holding.
A major value driver is planning consent (DM/23/00547/FPA) to convert a large two‑storey stone byre into a substantial second dwelling — ideal for rental income, an extended family annexe or holiday let subject to local requirements. The land is arranged as conveniently sized paddocks, currently set for equine use, with pony and horse stables, various outbuildings and a two-bay hayshed.
Practical points to note: drainage is by septic tank, broadband speeds are slow, and a public footpath crosses the land. There is also a registered right of access enjoyed by the owner of the nearby telecommunications mast. The farmhouse is EPC rated D and sold freehold with all mineral, timber and sporting rights as owned.
This is a clear opportunity for buyers seeking an equestrian smallholding with development potential. The site suits purchasers prepared to manage rural services and undertake conversion works to realise the byre dwelling, or those wanting an established grazing and mowing holding with scope to diversify.
