Summary - HIGH HOUSE, GAWTHROP LA10 5TA
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Extensive pasture with conversion potential and sweeping Dales views.
Grade II listed 3‑bed farmhouse, constructed 1687
High House is a rare upland hill farm within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, centred on a Grade II listed three‑bedroom farmhouse dating to 1687. The farmhouse and adjoining traditional stone outbuildings sit within a practical ring‑fence of productive meadow, pasture and allotment land extending to circa 128.91 acres (52.17 hectares), with natural springs and a small block of deciduous woodland. The setting is remote and scenic, accessed via a private hardcore track and surrounded by open fell and valley views.
The farmhouse is in an uninhabitable condition and requires full renovation and modernisation. Listing status means any works will need listed‑building consents and specialist repair methods; mains services are limited, drainage is private (septic tank likely non‑compliant with current rules) and the current water supply is from a neighbouring property under a written agreement (annual payment of £10). There is oil boiler heating recorded historically but no reliable central heating system now.
This holding suits buyers seeking a restorative project, a smallholding for livestock grazing, or an investment with potential to diversify (development of outbuildings would require permissions). Practical considerations include limited mobile signal, a medium flood risk, and responsibility for boundary enquiries. The sale offers vacant possession and the potential to participate in environmental or agri‑schemes, subject to the necessary consents and checks.
