Summary - SYKE SIDE FARM, KIRKBY STEPHEN, SOULBY CA17 4PJ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Diversified smallholding with holiday‑let income and development scope.
- Includes farmhouse, three‑bed holiday cottage and circa 6.64 acres
Syke Side Farm Lot 1 is a substantial rural holding in the Eden Valley, offered with a three‑bed farmhouse, a popular three‑bed holiday cottage (Rainbow Cottage) and approximately 6.64 acres of paddock and woodland. The holiday let currently produces circa £19,000 pa and there is an additional small Renewable Heat Incentive payment (circa £1,200–£1,400 pa) linked to the heating installations. The farm benefits from a private borehole, geothermal/ground‑source underfloor heating, recent sympathetic renovations and period character throughout.
The land includes about 3.73 acres of paddock, 2.19 acres of woodland and a stretch of Blind Beck, providing grazing, amenity and wildlife value (red squirrels recorded). The attached agricultural barn and a separate former byre (currently a gym) offer clear scope for diversification or further development subject to planning consent. Recent consent for a farmhouse sunroom adds immediate value and improved views.
Notable constraints are material: a high flooding risk for parts of the holding; occupancy and ancillary‑use restrictions on the farmhouse and cottage; a covenant limiting uses on a hatched area to agriculture; and a public footpath crossing the land. Services include mains electricity, private borehole water and septic drainage. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are average to slow, access is via a shared farm track, and some areas have planning and access rights to be confirmed by purchasers.
This lot will suit a purchaser seeking an operational diversified smallholding and holiday‑let income, plus purchasers with an interest in further development or an equestrian/small‑holder lifestyle. Buyers should review the occupancy conditions, flooding information and any conversion development consents before proceeding.
