Lot 1

30.54 acres Barn and Agricultural Building


Guide Price: £650,000


DESCRIPTION

This lot comprises 30.54 acres of productive meadowland, Flatts Barn with consent to convert and Agricultural Building measuring 90’ x 50’. This would make a highly desirable small holding, or if the barn was used as a holiday let, the perfect diversification for an established business.

Flatts Barn has approval under application No. C/51/11A for conversion to create a three bedroom dwelling with a total floor area of c. 169.32m2 (1822.55ft2). The planning consent is subject to a Section 106 agreement restricting the use of the properties to local occupancy or holiday let. Full details of the planning consent and associated documents can be found on our website.


The recently constructed steel portal framed agricultural building has a surfaced yard to the fore and is fully enclosed with concrete panel walls and sheeted steel doors. With concrete floor throughout, the facility offers a perfect environment to house livestock or store machinery and feed stuffs.


The 30.54 acres is all productive meadowland within a single block split into parcels by drystone walls. There is natural spring water serving the land and buildings.


ACCESS

This block has direct frontage onto the public highway. Access to the barn is via a ford for vehicles with a pedestrian bridge adjacent.


STEWARDSHIP

The land is subject to a Higher Tier Country Side Stewardship. The option codes are shown on the schedule on page two. The annual payment for this lot is £1,717.35.


SERVICES

The land benefits from natural water and the buildings benefit from a private spring supply. As part of the planning permission a package treatment plant is consented for foul drainage. Electricity runs past the site in the public highway. A new connection will be required to serve the dwelling.



DESCRIPTION

Offered for sale as a whole or in lots, the package offers the ability to create a beautiful 76.30 acre farm with spacious barn conversion and modern agricultural building. Enjoying a harmonious position on the valley floor, looking north gives spectacular views onto Potts Moor and looking south the valley opens up with Scoska Moor in the

foreground and Great Clowder beyond.


Planning permission was granted on 23 August 2023 to convert Flatts Barn into a three bedroom dwelling subject to a local occupancy condition. This permits the barn to be used as a permanent residence or holiday let.


The newly built agricultural building provides a perfect facility for livestock handling, housing and storage. Situated sufficiently close to Flatts Barn to work as a farm, but orientated such that it would not detract from the operation of Flatts Barn as a holiday let the building represent a real asset.


The land sits in three blocks, with the barn and agricultural building set in 30.54 acres. All the land is easily accessed via the public highway, which is a quiet single track road, walled on both sides and therefore a natural corridor for moving livestock. The land is all perfectly flat valley bottom meadow and pasture which is free draining and productive. Whilst the primary focus of farming practices has been livestock production, this has not been at the exclusion of nature and the land offers valuable habitat.


The meadows have obvious potential for restoration to species rich hay meadows, and parts of the pastureland have obvious potential for natural flood management. There are areas of deciduous woodland within and adjoining the land which further enhance the natural capital.


Small scale tree planting and riparian fencing has created opportunity for areas to be taken out of agricultural production and these offer a head start for conservation.


The land does naturally subdivide without detriment to the core property being the 30.54 acres barn conversion and building. The remaining lots represent attractive parcels of land in their own right.


The land is all classified as severely disadvantaged and sits at 238m above sea level.

Lot 2

6.50 acres


Guide Price: £65,000


DESCRIPTION

These meadows are free draining flat fertile fields. With hay meadow species still present in the sward, there is obvious potential to either improve the productivity or restore them further.

Lot 3

25.80 acres


Guide Price: £205,000


DESCRIPTION

With direct frontage onto the main road, this must be some the best meadow and pasture land in Littondale. Perfectly level on the valley floor, this land has fertile soil and potential to be highly productive. Bounded by the river Skirfare along the western boundary the land is sheltered by a belt of mature trees following the rivers edge. The land is split into a number of parcels predominantly enclosed by drystone walls which add to the sheltered feel. The Skirfare descends underground north of Litton, and re-emerges within this land providing constant natural water and adding to the habitat diversity.


STEWARDSHIP

The land is currently free from any Environmental Schemes. It would be suitable for entry into a scheme and could generate revenue therefrom.


Lot 4

13.50 acres


Guide Price: £105,000


DESCRIPTION

Naturally this lot is most easily farmed in conjunction with lot 3. It is made up of fertile pasture and a small strip of conservation woodland. Of all the lots, this parcel offers the greatest opportunity for conservation and habitat creation.


ACCESS

The land has frontage onto the public highway. A number of streams cross the lot which would require a bridge or ford if farmed separately to Lot 3.


STEWARDSHIP

The land is currently free from any Environmental Schemes. It would be suitable for entry into a scheme and could generate revenue therefrom.


VIEWING

The land can be viewed during daylight hours upon production of these particulars.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
