Summary - Ellershaw Farm, Halton Gill BD23 5QN
4 bed 2 bath Farm House
Large stone farmhouse with extensive grassland and immediate rental income potential.
Attached one‑bedroom holiday let generating circa £10,000 pa
Ellershaw Farm is a substantial stone-built farmhouse set in an idyllic pocket of the Yorkshire Dales, offered with about 44.48 acres of adjoining grassland. The main house provides comfortable, well-proportioned accommodation across two floors with a farmhouse kitchen, two sitting rooms (one with a gas stove, one with a multi-fuel stove), four bedrooms and two bathrooms. An attached one‑bedroom holiday let with independent access currently produces circa £10,000 per year, offering immediate income or flexible use as guest accommodation.
The holding suits a buyer seeking a genuine lifestyle change: hobby farming, small-scale livestock, equestrian use or rural tourism. Practical features include oil-fired central heating, full double glazing, an attached garage, stable, borehole and a tarmac yard with off‑street parking. The farmland is entered into a Higher Level Stewardship agreement until 2028 and includes a small stream and fishing rights on an adjacent parcel.
Important practical points are set out plainly. The property is subject to an agricultural occupancy condition, limiting occupation to those employed in agriculture locally. Mobile signal is absent and broadband speeds are very slow; the oil-fired boiler and traditional stone walls (likely uninsulated) should be budgeted for in running and improvement costs. The access track is shared and a neighbouring landowner has a right of way. The agricultural land is Grade 4/5 and suited to rough grazing rather than intensive cropping. Council tax is described as expensive. These factors make the farm best suited to buyers who prioritise rural lifestyle and can manage the practicalities of a remote holding.
