Implemented full planning permission for a 5-bedroom dwelling (ref C/54/113)
Set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this historic stone farmhouse with adjoining barns offers a rare conversion opportunity with full, implemented planning permission for a five-bedroom dwelling (ref C/54/113, granted 13 Oct 2023). The site occupies a very large plot (circa 0.34 acres) with panoramic countryside views including sights towards Malham Cove; additional land is available by separate negotiation.
The building is currently derelict and requires full renovation: no services are connected and the barn/house is unsafe to enter. The substantial footprint (total internal area approximately 2,570 sq ft) and multiple outbuildings present scope for creating several reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast area, boot room and up to five bedrooms, two with en suite, as envisaged in the approved plans.
This will suit a buyer experienced in rural restoration or a developer targeting a high-value rural home in an affluent, low-crime area. Practical considerations include very slow broadband, average mobile signal and the need to arrange all utility connections and building works. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries of the local planning authority and note safety warnings about entering the structure during viewings.
Offered freehold at £400,000, the property is a project with strong location value: exceptional Dales views, national-park setting and proximity to village amenities and transport links (Settle/Skipton). The combination of implemented planning consent and a handsome stone shell gives clear potential, balanced by significant renovation costs and service-connection work.
