11.65 acres (4.71 ha) of good-quality grazing land
Mains water supply connected; annual water charge applies
Roadside access directly off the public highway
Stock-proof boundaries; partly suitable for mowing
Includes small traditional stone building on parcel
Grade 4 soils — limited arable and cropping potential
Located inside Yorkshire Dales National Park — planning restricted
United Utilities access right and existing easements apply
A substantial 11.65-acre freehold parcel on the edge of Kirkby Stephen, offered as good-quality grazing with roadside access and a mains water supply. The land is stock-proof fenced, partly suitable for mowing, and includes a small traditional stone building—useful for storage or conversion subject to permissions. Soils are freely draining, slightly acid loamy (Grade 4), making the parcel well suited to livestock grazing and low-intensity agricultural uses.
The site sits within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, providing attractive rural views and a peaceful setting but placing important planning and development constraints on future change of use. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average; the location suits agricultural users, rural enterprises, or investors seeking productive pasture rather than residential development. Sporting and mineral rights are included insofar as owned; a United Utilities access right is shown and some annual water charges may be reimbursed on completion.
This sale proceeds by informal tender (deadline stated), offered with vacant possession and freehold title. The parcel is not in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and is not enrolled in environmental schemes, giving the purchaser a clear baseline for future stewardship or tenancy. Practical positives—direct highway access, mains water and quality grazing—make this a straightforward acquisition for farmers, smallholders, or investors seeking acreage on the outskirts of Kirkby Stephen.
Notable drawbacks: the national park status restricts development potential; soils are Grade 4 (limited arable prospects); utilities and connectivity are minimal; purchasers must accept existing rights, easements and the United Utilities access route. Viewings are by inspection on foot at any daylight hour; gates should be closed.
