This property presents a rare chance to transform a disused barn into a two-bedroom camping barn, complemented by approximately 4.94 acres of adjoining agricultural land in the scenic Eden Valley. The existing layout offers living space on the ground floor and bedrooms above, with planning consent already granted under reference 07/0300 by Eden District Council. Notably, works have commenced, ensuring this planning permission remains valid and provides a solid foundation for development.
Nestled in Mallerstang within the upper Eden Valley, this site is steeped in history and surrounded by striking landscapes, including the remnants of Pendragon Castle. The area is particularly appealing to outdoor enthusiasts, making it an ideal setting for those interested in cycling or hiking against a backdrop of stunning countryside vistas. Accessibility is another advantage; located just 8 miles south of Kirkby Stephen and directly off the B6259, the property can be conveniently reached from various directions.
The potential for creating recreational accommodation is significant, offering promising prospects for holiday letting investment. Importantly, while the planning does not allow for primary residential use, it opens doors to opportunities tailored for short-term rentals or retreat-style getaways.
In addition to the barn conversion opportunity, the accompanying land holds considerable value. Currently encompassing productive agricultural grassland suitable for livestock or farming activities, there are also options for alternative uses such as parking or additional structures—pending necessary planning approvals. Furthermore, this land may attract interest from those exploring carbon credit initiatives or biodiversity enhancements.
Utility access is advantageous as well; mains electricity and spring water are available nearby, along with B4RN broadband service in the area. This property’s unique blend of features and location makes it an intriguing prospect for renovators and investors alike—offering both immediate potential and long-term value in a remarkable setting.
