Residential development opportunity within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Description
Pair of cottages with potential for conversion to a single dwelling together with outbuildings and paddock.
Situation
The property is well situated lying to the south side of the B6270 Richmond to Reeth Road, approximately 8 miles from Richmond, 3 miles from Reeth and 7 miles from Leyburn.
Description
A pair of cottages together with adjoining outbuildings and stores until recently occupied as 2 dwellings but now offered with vacant possession for continued occupation as 2 dwellings, or with potential to create a single-family home set in 2.28 acres within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The cottages which in total extend to approximately 2,755 square feet, are in need of modernisation and improvement but have enormous potential depending on a purchaser’s requirements. The cottages which are 2-storey with rendered exterior walls under a stone slate roof occupy a south-facing position with views over open countryside.
A particular feature are the large single-storey agricultural buildings to the north side, which in total provide an additional 3,379 square feet suitable for a variety of storage uses and maybe even development if planning consent for change of use is granted. The property which sits in a total land area of 2.28 acres provides opportunities for buyers seeking to keep ponies, livestock or to exercise dogs. Opportunities such as this are extremely rare within the National Park.
Acreage:
2.28 Acres
