Large productive farm with substantial buildings and panoramic fell views.
Approximately 49.84 ha (123.15 acres) Grade 3/4 productive land
Offered as Lot 2, Swaledale View is a substantial farmstead extending to approximately 49.84 hectares (123.15 acres) with a detached bungalow (approx. 2,234 sq ft) and a wide range of modern and traditional agricultural buildings. The land is predominantly Grade 3/4, well fenced and laid to grazing, cropping and mowing, with direct access from the public highway and some hard-access tracks. The site includes an ample silage pit, cubicle housing and large machinery/workshop space—suitable for continuing mixed farming or equestrian use.
The bungalow provides generous single‑storey accommodation: multiple reception rooms, five bedrooms and utility/ancillary stores, plus well‑established gardens and parking. Key services include mains water and electricity, private sewerage and oil/LPG-fired central heating. The property has strong visual appeal with open fell views and a peaceful, remote setting—attractive to buyers seeking a working farm with immediate productive acreage.
Buyers should note several material points: some agricultural roofs contain asbestos cement; the private sewage system has not been tested and may not comply with current General Binding Rules; broadband speeds are very slow; and the bungalow is subject to an agricultural occupancy restriction. The farm is entered into a Mid‑Tier environmental scheme until 31 December 2027 and an SFI agreement which may not be transferable; Basic Payment entitlements have been retained by the seller. Growing crops and silage on the date of completion must be purchased by the buyer.
Overall, this lot suits an owner‑operator or investor seeking a well‑presented block of productive land with substantial buildings and immediate holding‑scale capability. Due diligence is advised on asbestos remediation where required, sewage compliance, and the practicalities of transferring or replacing stewardship agreements.
