Barn & Associated Buildings

The property comprises the old farmstead of approx. 1 acre, including a substantial stone building which had been granted planning permission but has since lapsed (ref: 17/0644/ful - Pendle B.C.) for conversion into two generous sized family dwellings. In addition, there are other buildings on the site, which may provide potential for further change of use (subject to the necessary approvals).

The popular market town of Skipton is just a 15-minute drive away over the hill. The property is also conveniently placed for access into West Yorkshire.

Services
Mains water, electricity and gas are all within the site, but will need modification with the assistance of the providers. A new independent drainage system will be required to serve the development.

The buildings currently erected on site comprise:
Main building (73' x 64') stone with a blue slate roof and internally divided by load-bearing walls into three main areas. Annexed to this is a stone former dairy (20' x 16').

To the north of the main building there is a modern enclosed steel framed cattle shed (55' x 38') and an adjacent uncovered concrete silage clamp (55' x 30').

Across the cobbled yard to the north-east of the main building, there is a range of brick and stone construction buildings comprising farm workshop/tractor-shed, fold yard and hay shed (75' overall x 21' average). These are in need of repair, but offer scope for further accommodation and possible change of use (following repair), either using permitted development rights or subject to the grant of planning permission as necessary.

The purchaser will be required to provide a metered mains water connection to the vendors' retained farmland at a convenient location to be agreed.

The owner of Heyroyd Farmhouse will retain a right of way over the roadway for all purposes and will be liable to contribute 25% of the reasonable future costs of maintenance (and improvements if he has first agreed to the quantum). The vendor will also retain a right of way over the track for the benefit of the retained farmland, subject to paying 8% of the reasonable cost of repair, but will not have any liability to contribute to improvements.
