Description

Offered at auction, this detached three-bedroom Dales farmhouse is set within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is accompanied by a substantial stone barn and approximately 4.90 acres of agricultural land. The house has two reception rooms, a kitchen-dining area, a bathroom, a box room and storage. Its traditional character and existing accommodation provide scope for a buyer to update the interiors to their own requirements. The adjoining barn has extant planning consent, with a material start made, for conversion to a three-bedroom dwelling with two garages and associated drainage. The consent allows for a single dwelling subject to a local occupancy condition, or a short-term holiday let. Buyers should check the current status and conditions of the permission and establish the practical and financial requirements for completing the conversion. The land is accessed from the yard and is described as agricultural. The property is approached from the A683. The farmhouse, barn, land and conversion consent are offered together, making this a property with both refurbishment and development elements to investigate.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £375,000, the farmhouse is priced at about £206 per sq ft against a local average of £305, making the asking price a standout acquisition opportunity. The traditional stone house looks usable but dated, with scope for a light refresh of décor and flooring; the renovation range is £6,000–£14,000. Its fireplaces, stonework and maintained yard give the project plenty of character, while the 4.9 acres add genuine smallholding appeal.

The detached barn is a further value-add possibility, with extant planning consent for a three-bedroom conversion, subject to conditions including local occupancy for residential use. That is a separate project to investigate and cost, but together with the land it makes this a distinctive Yorkshire Dales opportunity. The overall numbers are strong, though the location score is more average than exceptional.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire the farmhouse at a notably low price per sq ft relative to the local average.
  • Refresh dated finishes and flooring while retaining the traditional stone character and fireplaces.
  • Explore the consented barn conversion alongside the 4.9 acres for a smallholding or potential additional accommodation.
