Rare opportunity with stunning Yorkshire Dales farm available for tenancy
Low House Farm, on the Bolton Abbey Estate in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, is available to let on a farm business tenancy (term to be agreed).
The farm includes a traditional three-bedroom farmhouse, together with a three-bedroom holiday cottage and a range of farm buildings which offer development potential, subject to the relevant consents.
Set in beautiful Yorkshire Dales
Set in picturesque Yorkshire dales and extending to approximately 69.6 acres of dales rising to the surrounding moorland, the farmland is a mixture of meadow and pasture, as well as rough grazing with good roadside access.
The farm sits to the north east of Bolton Abbey and the farmhouse has good-sized rooms including a kitchen/diner with a warming log burner and large pantry store. There are also two good-sized reception rooms and a small cellar under the stairs. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.
Holiday cottage and mirror image barn
The holiday cottage is a traditional stone-build with an open-plan kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. A further room upstairs has a mezzanine floor overlooking the kitchen/diner.
The holiday cottage is attached to a large barn which is the mirror image of the cottage, providing development potential (subject tothe relevant consents).
Stone-built parlour and storage space
Behind the farmhouse are two portal framed buildings which offer a large amount of storage space – with a stone-built parlour alongside. Another four-bay shed provides further storage space.
The farm can be reached by a short private drive, with a shared turning area. It has mains electricity, spring-fed water supplies and private drainage. The farmhouse is served by a solid fuel back boiler and the holiday cottage has an oil-fired boiler.
The tenants of the holding will be required to live in the farmhouse, using the farm for agricultural purposes with permission to diversify to:
- Use the farm buildings for storage
- Use the holiday cottage as a guest house
- Develop the other side of the holiday cottage for further guest accommodation
Making more space for nature
While considering applications, the estate will give extra merit to those which include clear proposals to farm the land in a nature-friendly way.
This will include, but is not limited to, using stewardship options, creating wildlife corridors, recording ecological baselines and ongoing monitoring.
