Land size: 0.06 acres

Description

FOR SALE BY ONLINE AUCTION - Lot 28 - Land with Potential
ONLINE AUCTION from 6th October-8th October 2026

A freehold parcel of land extending to approximately 225 sq m (2,420 sq ft / 0.056 acres), as shown edged red on the accompanying plan. The site is broadly rectangular, measuring approximately 24m in length and tapering from around 8m to 11m in width.

The land is presently laid out as a surfaced parking area and forms part of the setting and curtilage of the Grade II listed former George & Dragon Inn in Aysgarth. The inn has ceased trading and has been sold separately.

The seller has prepared an illustrative CGI showing the potential appearance of a traditional detached stone-built dwelling on the site. The CGI is provided for illustration only and does not constitute planning permission, listed building consent or confirmation that this, or any other form of development, will be permitted.

Important Property Information

The land is subject to historic planning conditions connected with the former George & Dragon Inn, including a condition requiring the land to remain available for use as the inn's car park. Any alternative use, development or alteration will require the appropriate planning permissions and may require listed building consent.

The relevant planning decision, council correspondence and further information are included within the legal pack. Purchasers must satisfy themselves regarding the planning position, listed-building considerations, access, the effect of all restrictions and the prospects of any future consent before bidding.

Location

Aysgarth is a sought-after village within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, known for its countryside setting, waterfalls, walking and cycling routes, and access to Leyburn and the wider Dales.

Potential

A compact freehold holding in an attractive Yorkshire Dales setting. The CGI illustrates one possible long-term residential concept, with any development, alternative use or alteration remaining subject to the necessary planning, heritage and other consents.
