A substantial Yorkshire Dales farm estate offering about 218.76 acres (88.53 ha) of productive meadow, permanent pasture and amenity woodland with superb elevated views over Wensleydale. The stone-built three-bedroom cottage has character but needs modernisation; services include LPG-fired boiler and radiators. The holding is ring-fenced and currently laid out for livestock, making it suitable to continue as a working farm, equestrian base or rural enterprise.
The steading includes a mix of traditional stone barns and more modern livestock buildings. Several buildings and yard areas offer scope for alternative uses or conversion subject to planning and listed-building/heritage consents — there is clear redevelopment potential but also repair and consent risk. Access is rural, the setting is secluded and the site sits within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which increases scenic value but may restrict development options.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal; many outbuildings require refurbishment; the cottage requires significant updating; council tax is above average. The property can be purchased as a whole or in two lots (Lot 1: Castle Gate Farm with cottage, steading and about 63.75 acres; Lot 2: circa 155.01 acres), giving flexibility for buyers with different budgets or development plans.
