2 West Highfield Farm Carlton in Coverdale, Leyburn, North Yorkshire, DL8 4AY A Most Desirable and Residentially Attractive Grass Farm with 47 Acres in a Stunning Yorkshire Dales Setting For Sale as a Whole or in Lots Traditional Farmhouse Requiring Refurbishment Attached Stone Barn with Potential for Further Accommodation Productive Grassland Sporting Rights A Yorkshire Dales Gem Guide Price - 500,000 INTRODUCTION West Highfield Farm represents a fairly rare opportunity to purchase a grassland farm in Coverdale. The farm comes onto the market after being in the same family for approaching five generations. Interestingly, due to its unspoilt and basically original character, it was featured as a film location in All Creatures Great & Small in the 1980 s. The steading area represents a blank canvass upon which the new owner can put their own stamp, subject to obtaining any necessary consents. SITUATION Carlton Village ¾ miles, West Witton 4½ miles, Leyburn 6 miles, Middleham 6 miles, Masham 13 miles, Hawes 16 miles, A1 Motorway Interchange at Leeming Bar 20 miles (all distances are approximate). The farm is beautifully situated just west of the popular village of Carlton in this very picturesque part of Coverdale in the North Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is well placed in relation to the thriving market town of Leyburn and within reasonable reach of Middleham and Masham (refer to location plan). DESCRIPTION West Highfield Farm comprises a productive grass farm attractively situated in a compact ring fence. It includes a typical Yorkshire Dales stone built farmhouse with an attached stone barn. It is double glazed and has oil fired central heating. The three bedroom traditional farmhouse requires modernising. The details of the accommodation are depicted on the attached floor layout plan. The attached stone barn has potential. Informal enquiries have been made to the Yorkshire Dales National Park by Andrew Long Architects. The potential for conversion of the existing traditional stone farm buildings to provide additional living accommodation is likely to be supported by the Yorkshire Dales National Park, subject to final details being submitted in the relevant planning application. There may also be potential to create an extra dwelling to be occupied by persons with a local connection or short term holiday lets. These would be controlled by a legal agreement. Please note that details of this Opinion can be obtained from Andrew Long Architects.
