Description

Cowber Farm is a three-bedroom detached stone farmhouse offered with an adjoining three-bay agricultural barn and approximately 15 acres of grazing land. The property is reached by a private lane on the outskirts of Long Preston, with Settle and Skipton among the nearby market towns. The sale is freehold with vacant possession on completion. The farmhouse is described as habitable and in good order, with original features and a recently installed LPG central heating system. The ground floor includes a living room with a solid-fuel stove, a fitted kitchen and an adjoining dining area. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside, there are mature side and rear gardens, dry-stone wall boundaries and parking. The barn remains in agricultural use and is described as being in good repair. Its possible conversion or use to extend the house is subject to local authority planning approval. The land is predominantly grazing pasture, with mains water and stockproof boundary fencing stated in the particulars. Services to the farmhouse include mains water and electricity, LPG gas and private sewer treatment. The property is marketed by Richard Turner & Son, Bentham.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Cowber Farm is a distinctive smallholding project: a habitable stone farmhouse with traditional character, an adjoining three-bay barn and 15 acres of surrounding pasture. The photographed interiors offer a light refresh opportunity, with dated finishes and flooring across several rooms; the established grounds, private setting and recently installed central heating add appeal. The barn could offer scope for an extension or separate dwelling, subject to planning approval.

At £650,000, value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. That data gap, along with the unconfirmed barn potential, limits the overall opportunity score, though the setting and land make this an unusual proposition.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated decoration and flooring across the photographed rooms while retaining the farmhouse’s traditional stone character and fireplace.
  • Make the most of the established grounds, private lane setting and surrounding 15 acres of pasture.
  • Explore the adjoining stone barn as a possible extension or separate dwelling, subject to planning approval.
