RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A VERSATILE PARCEL OF COMMERCIAL LAND EXTENDING TO APPROXIMATELY 1.77 ACRES (0.72 HECTARES), SITUATED IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF SKIPTON-ON-
SWALE AND ENJOYING CONVENIENT ACCESS TO THE A61

Location And Description - The property occupies a strategic yet rural location and is approached via a privately owned concrete roadway, formerly serving the Royal Air Force base at Skipton-on-Swale.

The buildings are of timber frame construction with profiled steel sheet elevations and roofs, providing basic accommodation suitable for storage and ancillary uses.

Buildings - The buildings are of timber frame construction with profiled steel sheet elevations and roofs, providing basic accommodation suitable for storage and ancillary uses.

The two southern buildings were previously utilised for the manufacture of timber products; whilst the northern-most building was previously utilised by a fencing contractor.

In 2013, planning permission was granted for agricultural storage.

Approximate measurements of the structures, taken to Gross External Area, are noted as follows:

Building 1: 148.75 sqm / 1,601.08 sq ft
Building 2: 338.15 sqm / 3,639.79 sq ft
Building 3: 133.08 sqm / 1,432.41 sq ft

Whilst no mains water or electricity connections are currently understood to serve the property, services are believed to be readily available nearby, and prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding connection requirements.

The property offers considerable scope for a range of future uses, subject to erecting suitable boundary fencing, and obtaining the necessary statutory consents

Planning Permission - The northern-most building benefits from a Certificate of Lawfulness dated 2nd December 1994. Further documentation is also available to download from the North Yorkshire planning website or from the selling agent.
