A rare development opportunity in Hillam: roughly one acre of brownfield land with 5–6 existing barn buildings totaling about 600 sqm of footprint. The site offers flexibility — available either unconditionally or by option agreement, with potential for a care facility (C2) or 4–8 residential dwellings (C3), subject to buyer feasibility and planning strategy.
The plot sits in an aspirational village setting within established farming communities, offering strong privacy and countryside outlooks. Flood risk is low, broadband speeds are fast, and the location benefits from very low crime and nearby good schools, making it attractive to both specialist operators and residential developers.
Buyers should note there are currently no services on site; purchasers must verify and fund all new utility connections. The land has not been used agriculturally for nearly 20 years, and the existing buildings will require inspection and likely refurbishment or demolition depending on your proposals. Option fees and term lengths are negotiable and will depend on agreed value and planning approach.
This parcel suits purchasers with planning experience and capital to manage infrastructure works and building works. For those able to navigate the option-agreement route and secure permissions, the scale and location provide scope for a private, potentially gated development or a bespoke care/residential scheme in a desirable North Yorkshire village.
