Lot 1 - Hestholme Farm, Aysgarth DL8

Freehold

Hestholme Farmhouse, farm buildings, land and fishing rights in all extending to approx. 9.96 acres.

Lot 1 – Hestholme Farmhouse, buildings and Paddock

Hestholme Farmhouse comprises a detached property of rendered solid wall construction under a stone flag roof.

The farmhouse which is approached over a tree-lined driveway, provides approximately 2,416 ft² of spacious living accommodation but also offers scope to extend into the adjoining traditional granary building (subject to planning) to create, what would be, the most special family home.

The accommodation comprises a breakfast kitchen, laundry/utility room, bathroom, dining room and sitting room to the ground floor with five bedrooms to the first floor.

Adjoining the farmhouse is a traditional granary barn which is open to the eaves to the front with first floor storage to the rear.

The granary offers a prime opportunity to extend the existing living accommodation to create versatile and flexible family living accommodation subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Situated to the west of the farmhouse is a detached former cart shed building of stone construction under a stone flag roof with open storage to the ground floor whilst the first floor is accessed via an external staircase and provides general storage.

Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, this building would suit alternative use to provide either additional living accommodation to support dependants of the family or would make an ideal holiday let taking advantage of the properties location and providing a diversified income stream.

Adjoining the former cart shed are a range of general purpose buildings of timber frame construction with corrugated profile clad walls and roofs. Dependant upon the requirements of the purchaser, the buildings could be retained to provide dry storage and livestock accommodation or removed with the area being landscaped to create further amenity space to benefit the residence.

Lot 1 benefits from a grassland paddock known as ‘The Stripe’ which extends to approximately 4.07 acres (1.65 hectares).

Lot 1 extends in all to approximately 9.96 acres including the farmhouse, buildings, land and fishing.
