Fawcett Mill - Lot 3, Bunk Barn and Land, Gaisgill, Penrith, Cumbria

A unique opportunity to purchase an enclosed block of land in all circa 3.25 acres, with established vehicle access, having a former agricultural building converted to a bunkhouse in 2012, requiring a certificate of lawful existing use or development, set in an idyllic valley with adjacent stream.

A former agricultural building, found in a charming location in this quiet section of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, converted to a bunkhouse in 2012 and regularly used by the vendors family since with a kitchen, shower room and bedroom with three fitted double bunk beds and two single bunk beds.

Whilst we understand that the bunk barn was converted without planning approval, we believe that it may now be eligible for a Certificate of Lawful Existing Use or Development (CLEUD).

Whilst the vendors do not intend to make this application, they will provide a statutory declaration and what evidence they have to the successful purchaser.

The property is currently connected to mains electricity and water via Fawcett Mill House.

It is anticipated that these connections will cease if the lots are sold independently and any successful purchaser of Lot 3 might have to consider off grid electricity options, or connect to the nearby pole and transformer, which is within the boundaries of lot 3, and borehole water supply unless they can connect to the mains water supply or agree with the buyer of Lot 1 and install relevant sub meters.

Surrounding the Bunk Barn is circa 1.32 hectares (3.25 acres) of productive pasture land, woodland and a stretch of the Idyllic Rais Beck, which has been enhanced by our client with a recently created water body for local biodiversity, and broadleaf tree planting.

Lot 3 is available to be purchased separately to Lots 1 & 2 although no sale will complete until there has been a successful sale and completion of Lot 1.
