Summary - Hayhills Farm North, Hayhills Lane, Silsden BD20 9JL
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Large rural plot with multiple conversion consents and strong development potential.
Consent in place for conversion to four dwellings
An exceptional development parcel on the edge of Silsden, Hayhills Farm North offers consented scope to create four substantial residences within an expansive rural plot. The site includes a traditional stone farmhouse, a large stone barn with extant consent, and two modern agricultural buildings with recent prior approvals for residential conversion. Permissions and variations were granted in 2002 and refreshed in 2025, reducing planning uncertainty for redevelopment.
The farmhouse is a handsome, pre-1900 stone building retaining mullion windows, beams and exposed timbers but requires complete refurbishment throughout; the EPC is F (26). Services are mixed: mains electricity is connected, water is from a private network, drainage is to a septic tank (note a neighbouring property’s septic tank sits within the site), and heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal — a practical consideration for modern buyers or occupiers.
Practical value drivers are clear: substantial combined internal floor areas, large grounds and private access, attractive countryside views, and recent planning decisions for conversion to four dwellings. Attention is required for remediation and upgrades (full refurbishment, likely thermal / insulation works to stone walls, septic system review, and modern utilities). An overage clause applies to two modern conversions (40% uplift on planning value), which will affect future upside and should be budgeted into any viability appraisal.
This opportunity suits purchasers seeking a redevelopment project or small-scale rural residential scheme — investors or developer-occupiers able to manage refurbishment, modernisation and services improvements. The site is secluded yet within reach of Silsden’s amenities and regional centres, presenting a rare blend of privacy and connectivity.
