Baylis Gap Farm is a substantial Nidderdale smallholding set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, extending to about 238.32 acres in total with Lot 1 comprising roughly 51.39 acres around the farmhouse and steading. The traditional stone double-fronted farmhouse and attached range of stone barns offer significant scope to create a single large dwelling of up to c.4,500 sqft (subject to consents) or to retain an agricultural steading with modern livestock buildings. Productive pasture lies immediately around the yard with extensive conservation woodland on higher ground and excellent rural views across the dale.
The farmhouse and barns require complete renovation and modernisation; the site will suit a buyer comfortable with a large-scale project, conversion planning and managing consents. The modern yard buildings formerly housed dairy cattle and present adaptable space for continuing livestock use, storage or alternative commercial/agricultural purposes. Several buildings need repair (including a partly collapsed straw shed) and the farmhouse conversion potential depends on planning permission and listed/building consent considerations.
This holding is attractive to farming purchasers, rural investors or owners seeking a major renovation/conversion in a very affluent, low-crime area. Practical benefits include good vehicular access via farm tracks, concrete yard hardstanding, garage parking and strong connectivity (excellent mobile signal; fast broadband). Viewings are scheduled during the advertised open viewing date for Lot 1 — interested parties should check requirements for inspection and note the sale can proceed as whole or in lots.
