Set on the edge of Buckden within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this traditional stone barn has full planning permission (C/13/63C) to convert and extend into a two-bedroom home. The approved scheme creates an open-plan ground floor, two double bedrooms upstairs and a single-storey utility/ WC extension, taking advantage of a westerly aspect across the valley.
The plot is very large and includes a walled croft, private access and off-street parking as part of the sale. The setting is peaceful and scenic, suitable for someone seeking a low-traffic rural home with extensive outdoor space and classic stone character.
Important practical points: there are currently no services connected to the barn, and the purchaser is responsible for creating the new access, completing a section of dry stone wall and relocating the drainage field as shown in the approved plans (to be completed within six months of completion). The conversion is restricted by a S106 Agreement dated 23 January 2024 limiting occupation to local occupancy and short-term holiday let use.
This opportunity suits buyers who value character, views and space and who are prepared to manage construction and utilities connections. It is not a ready-to-move-in property and requires active project management to implement the approved conversion and site works.
