This offering combines 29.08 acres of productive permanent pasture with a stone cottage opportunity on the edge of Over Silton, inside the North York Moors National Park. The grassland benefits from a spring-fed water supply, established boundaries of stone walling and hedgerow, and direct access onto Silton Forest and miles of footpaths and bridleways. The setting is high environmental value and quiet, ideal for grazing, mowing or amenity uses.
Lot 1 is a substantial block of pasture with good hard-stoned track access but no mains electricity connected; there is a spring water supply on the land. No planning consent is in place for Lot 1 — any development enquiries must be made to the local planning authority. Lot 2 is a stone-built cottage with full planning consent (NYM/2021/0918/LB) to convert to a two-bedroom dwelling; note a local occupancy condition applies to that consent.
The location offers countryside seclusion with convenient access to Thirsk (approx. 9 miles) and Northallerton (approx. 11 miles) and good road links via the A19. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal average, but the settlement is a remoter hamlet-style community within a national park, so services close by are limited.
This offer will suit buyers seeking agricultural land, equestrian or amenity acreage, and investors or owner-occupiers planning a sympathetic cottage conversion subject to the occupancy restriction. Buyers should factor in infrastructure costs for electricity connection to Lot 1, the absence of immediate planning for land development, and the planning condition attached to the cottage conversion.
