A rare barn conversion opportunity in the Yorkshire Dales National Park with planning permission already approved (Application No. C/62/645A) and pre-commencement conditions met. The substantial stone barn is set in a very large plot (about 1,400 sq m) and has been architecturally designed for light-filled living, open-plan spaces and commanding panoramic countryside views.
The approved scheme delivers approximately 195 sq m (2,099 sq ft) with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, utility and versatile study/snug space. Architects have prepared three layout options—including an upside-down living arrangement, a traditional family layout, or a split into two smaller dwellings—so purchasers can choose family use or income potential. Ample off-street parking, generous garden area and a stock-proof boundary are already in place.
Important practical points: the site is served by private water and sewage (a borehole and private treatment tank are required and noted), and electricity connection arrangements will need updating (previous ENWL quote has expired). The property is sold subject to a Section 106 agreement restricting occupancy to local occupancy or holiday letting, which materially limits full market resale and occupation options.
This is an attractive proposition for a buyer who wants to complete a high-quality conversion in a protected and scenic setting. The combination of approved planning, strong design work, large plot and exceptional views offers clear upside, but the buyer should budget for connection and installation of private services, final conversion works and be aware of the S106 restriction on use.
