Nestled in a picturesque rural setting, this property is located in Lunds, surrounded by expansive farmland and offering scenic views towards Wild Boar Fell. Lunds is a quaint hamlet situated approximately half a mile from the Moorcock Inn and conveniently close to the B6259, making it easily accessible. The nearby market towns of Hawes and Kirkby Stephen are six and ten miles away, respectively, providing essential amenities while still retaining a tranquil country lifestyle.
Currently, the property consists of a two-story stone barn that has been divided into various sections, including a barn area, a cow byre with original stalls, two stables, and storage space. Though in need of extensive renovation, this structure presents an excellent opportunity for reimagining its use. In the past, planning permission was granted for transforming the building into two separate residential units tailored for local occupancy or as holiday lets; however, this permission has lapsed. Interested buyers can review previously approved plans that depict one three-bedroom home and one two-bedroom home.
Potential owners may choose to resubmit these plans to the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority or develop a new concept entirely—whether that be reinstating the initial design or creating a single spacious family residence. The outdoor space enhances the property’s appeal: plans include designated off-road parking at the front and an enclosed stone-flagged patio area at the back. Furthermore, a woodland area featuring a stream adds an element of natural beauty.
With approximately 0.33 acres of land included in the sale, this site allows for ample development possibilities. Utilities are already in place with mains electricity available, along with access to communal borehole water supply and high-speed broadband (B4RN). A private drainage system will need to be established.
This property represents an enticing self-build project within a stunning rural landscape, perfectly suited for those looking to invest in a renovation with considerable potential. Additionally, neighboring plot options exist—further enhancing development opportunities for aspiring homeowners or investors alike.
