Dob Park, Otley, North Yorkshire, LS21

An almost unique development opportunity in a fabulous location with splendid panoramic views over the Washburn Valley with pastureland stretching to 2.1 acres, handily placed for Otley, Ilkley, Harrogate and Skipton.

A rare opportunity to buy a robustly built and recently re-roofed stone barn with permission granted and commenced for conversion to a family residence.

On 17/01/2005 Harrogate Borough Council granted permission for the conversion of two barns to form two dwellings both with an associated double garage.

A neighbouring property, The Mistal, has already been converted to a residence with attached double garage (application number 6.139.5.C.FUL)

The barn lies in a courtyard setting with two other residences and as can be seen from the photographs has truly magnificent views over the surrounding countryside including the Washburn Valley area of Special Scientific Interest.

There is an opportunity to purchase an additional piece of land – Please ask agent for further information.

To the barn's north is an enclosed area of pastureland stretching to 2.173 acres (0.8792 hectares). The property is approached along a private drive serving this and the other two houses which have the benefit from mains water and electricity. The purchaser will be responsible for the connection to these services and for the installation of a compliant private water treatment facility.

Despite its rural setting Otley is only some three miles distant with Ilkley roughly six miles, Harrogate thirteen miles and Skipton seventeen miles. An exceptional rural location combining all the advantages of its setting - outstanding countryside walks with ease of access to the extensive shopping, recreational and schooling facilities in the above towns. Leeds/Bradford International Airport in Yeadon is located approximately six miles away and Yorkshire’s key commercial centres including Leeds, Bradford and York are within comfortable daily travelling distance by road. There is the national motorway network near to Wetherby making areas further afield accessible.
