Prospect Barn is a detached Grade II listed stone barn set above Low Row with panoramic views across Swaledale. The two-storey building is currently used as workshop and storage and sits behind a gated vehicle entrance with a south-facing strip of land of approximately 0.25 acre. Mains electricity and mains water are connected.
This is a conversion opportunity rather than a ready home. The footprint is modest (around 763 sq ft) and the barn will require planning and listed-building approval for change of use or conversion; listing status is likely to limit alterations and will add cost and process time. Broadband speeds are slow, though mobile signal is excellent and the site benefits from very low crime and direct access to Yorkshire Dales walking routes.
For buyers seeking a character-led project, holiday let or small rural retreat, the location is a major asset: peaceful hamlet setting, national park scenery and easy access to Leyburn, Richmond and Hawes. The building currently provides practical workshop space with power and concrete floor, giving a useful base while any proposals are progressed. Buyers should budget for specialist conservation works, planning fees and possible restrictions tied to local occupancy conditions.
