Description

A fantastic development opportunity ideal for those purchasers looking to create a fabulous home in a highly sought-after setting within the Yorkshire Dales.

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Yorkshire Dales National Park this traditional Dales farmhouse, barn and adjoining land provides the potential to be completely refurbished to provide an excellent rural lifestyle home. The property itself has not been lived in for a number of years and offers a redevelopment opportunity in a stunning sought-after position.

A particular feature of the property is the inclusion of a traditional agricultural barn, offering a wealth of possibilities. Subject to the necessary consents, the barn could provide ancillary accommodation, workshops, garaging, stabling, storage or potential conversion, making it an attractive proposition for a wide range of purchasers.

Set back from the A684 the property is situated a short distance away from the quaint town of Sedbergh. Being famous for its charming streets, bookshops and cafes the town offers excellent amenities including an excellent local primary school and the highly regarded Sedbergh school. The property is also conveniently located for easy access to the market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale to the south and Kirkby Stephen to the north, Kendal and the Lake District beyond.

Potgill is a complete blank canvas, ideal for those purchasers looking to create a fabulous home in a highly sought-after setting. Being a stone character farmhouse there are plenty of original features and rustic charm to work with.

Accommodation currently comprises three bedrooms overs two floors and does have the opportunity to be extended, subject to the necessary planning consents. From the front the property opens into a former kitchen/living area with separate living room, utility and pantry to the rear, and a rear access area.

The first floor provides three bedrooms with an additional storage area and former bathroom. The internal accommodation would however benefit from being reconfigured in order to meet modern day tastes and living requirements, and as such there is superb scope to make this your own.

Externally the farmhouse sits centrally within its plot, with a former cottage-style garden situated at the front, a further lawned garden at the side and additional grounds extending beyond the beck at the eastern elevation, offering a quiet and peaceful setting. Beyond the house boundaries the land wraps around the adjoining barn giving the total site an area of 0.3 acres or thereabouts.

Potgill Holme represents an exceptional opportunity for purchasers with vision to create a superb rural home, enhanced by the valuable addition of a traditional barn and adjoining land, offering flexibility for equestrian, agricultural and lifestyle purchasers.
