A substantial ring‑fenced livestock farm set on about 63.75 acres with a stone‑built three‑bed cottage and extensive traditional and modern farm buildings. The cottage retains character but requires full modernisation; heating is by LPG boiler to radiators and the property sits within the Yorkshire Dales National Park with wide elevated views over Wensleydale.
The buildings include a mix of stone barns and modern agricultural sheds arranged around a central yard. Several barns offer realistic scope for alternative uses or conversion subject to planning and listed/park restrictions. The holding includes productive meadowland, permanent pasture and amenity woodland, making it suitable for mixed livestock, equestrian enterprises or as an investment countryside estate.
Practical considerations: the cottage is in need of renovation, broadband speeds are slow, access is across an unmade farm track and there will be parish/park and planning constraints for any change of use. Council tax is above average and certain improvements may require statutory consents. For a buyer seeking privacy, landscape amenity and a large working holding, this offers substantial upside but will require capital, time and permissions to realise alternative development value.
An additional 155.01 acres is available by separate negotiation, allowing expansion for greater agricultural scale or longer‑term diversified projects. The property is best suited to an experienced rural operator, investor or purchaser with appetite for restoration and farm management within a protected national park setting.
