Summary - Blakeley Hall Farm, Witton le Wear DL14 0BH
3 bed 1 bath Land
Large productive farm with conversion potential and expansive Weardale views.
Approximately 118.28 acres of ring‑fenced, south‑facing grassland
Blakeley Hall Farm is a substantial, ring-fenced grassland farm of approximately 118.28 acres with a detached two‑storey stone farmhouse and a large range of traditional and modern agricultural buildings. The farmhouse offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms, a south-facing lawn with far-reaching Weardale views, and onsite parking with an attached garage. Productive, freely draining Grade 3 pasture and piped water to troughs make the holding practical for livestock or mixed farming.
The steading includes several traditional stone barns, a modern steel portal frame building and an allotment field barn with roadside access — buildings that previously benefitted from planning consent for conversion into multiple dwellings. Those consents and the adaptable buildings represent clear development potential, subject to fresh planning and the stated overage provisions.
Buyers should note material considerations: mains water and electricity are present but drainage is to a septic tank, heating is oil-fired, broadband speeds are very slow and mineral rights are excluded. The sale is subject to a 30% overage on future non-agricultural uplift for 60 years, there are public footpaths across the farm, and a low-voltage line and a gas pipe run over parts of the land.
This property suits purchasers seeking a productive small farm with scope for diversification, sympathetic conversion or long‑term enhancement. It will appeal to farming families wanting immediate agricultural use and to investors willing to pursue planning for additional residential or alternative uses, mindful of the overage and statutory constraints.
