Penhill Farm is uniquely situated just beneath the top of Penhill, which is a renowned local landmark in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. It stands superbly with panoramic views over the Vale of York together with the Gallops to the front and Wensleydale to the north. It is very well placed in relation to the thriving market town of Leyburn and within easy reach of the renowned racing hub of Middleham. Description Penhill Farm comprises a very attractive and productive grass farm which has equestrian potential. It is attractively situated in a compact ring fence. The property has a traditional stone built farmhouse with an attached two storey stone barn with conversion potential. It is further complemented by a range of stone-built stables together with tack room situated immediately to the rear of the steading area. This provides immediate equestrian potential.
The traditional three bedroomed farmhouse does require some updating and modernisation but offers great scope to include the attached substantial two storey barn into the main living accommodation. The farmhouse is superbly positioned in an east facing position overlooking the Gallops and the Vale of York beyond. Farmhouse The property briefly comprises a traditional double fronted layout with living room, dining room and kitchen together with study and cloak room. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms together with large family bathroom. Stabling & Farm Buildings The attached stone built two storey barn extends to 40ft x 15ft approx. This has potential for additional living accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. To the rear of this barn are the range of stone built stables 10 in total together with a large tack room. Please note that these have been used for storage only due to the historic presence of lead in the internal walls. A buyer will need to be aware of this and take necessary precautions. These are attractively situated around a secure and sheltered courtyard. Beyond the main farm steading area is a large general purpose livestock/fodder storage building (75ft x 75ft) with a timber frame central portion with earthed floor and livestock yards either side with concrete floors. Furthermore, there is an attached general purpose building which has recently been constructed extending to 75ft x 45ft. It is of steel framed construction with a concrete floor. There is also a further old farm building in poor condition which is presently let out but will be vacated upon completion. The Land The land is well situated, principally to the west and south west of the steading area. It comprises sound pasture and meadowland which is enclosed by good stone walls and fences. A large proportion of the land has equestrian potential. Part of the land is within the ELS Scheme which expires in September 2019. The land has a spring water supply laid onto most fields and this same spring water supply also serves the house and steading area. In summary, this uniquely positioned residentially attractive farm will be of interest to those wishing to have a change of lifestyle, those with an equestrian interest and those wishing to run a small farm in an attractive and popular rural location.
