Property Description
Dowber House - Owners’ Accommodation.
Dowber House is a recently converted dales barn. Upon entrance into this superb home you are greeted with a wonderful, contemporary open plan dining, kitchen and living space, completed with stunning decorative features. Moving through on the ground floor you have a modern coat & boot room with a cloakroom adjacent. From here there is an owners private access through to the campsite facilities.
The property goes from strength to strength when moving to the upstairs via the stunning modern contemporary oak staircase. Here you will find two charming double bedrooms accompanied by an attractive multipiece bathroom.
Externally the property is delightful, with far reaching views from the superb large outdoor decking area within the private walled garden, which boasts raised flower beds and a wildlife pond. To the front of the property is a large lawn and to the North East side there is a small wildflower meadow with immature fruit trees and a raised bed vegetable garden.
The Land - 3.35 Acres
The land is suitable for sheep grazing and has a sited hen hut and storage sheds. Or could be used as an overflow for camping on the 60 day rule.
The Lifestyle
The owners of the estate have chosen to run the business on a lifestyle choice. Only operating 5 camping pitches instead of 10, only accommodating a select number of campers and only operating for 6 months of the year due to choosing to take the other 6 months as annual leave. It is felt that there is a greater business potential for Wharfe Camp being licenced for year round leisure facilities should the new owners so wish. There is also the opportunity to expand the camping & glamping, and to extend the house subject to relevant planning.
The house, business and land offer an excellent opportunity for the new owners to enjoy a lifestyle business, with a stunning location in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Full financial statements are available following a viewing.
The business has currently traded under the VAT threshold on a semi retired basis.
Dowber House is subject to a 106 Agreement
