Description

[FULL] Swarthghyll Farm is a unique and versatile property located in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, offering a diverse range of opportunities for lifestyle, business, and leisure pursuits. The property, which has been significantly improved by the current owners, is situated approximately half way between Hawes and Settle, and is accessible via a private track, offering a secluded and private setting. The main farmhouse itself is a traditional stone-built property with a stone-flagged roof, offering spacious and characterful accommodation. While it currently has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is potential to expand into an adjoining apartment, creating a larger family home with 4/5 bedrooms. The reception rooms are generous in size, with a large dining room, drawing room, sitting room, and a family kitchen. The property retains its original character features, including exposed beams and stone mullion windows. The traditional stone buildings to the east of the courtyard have been converted into three self-contained flats, providing a valuable income stream or accommodation for extended family or staff. These flats are well-appointed and could be further developed to enhance the business potential. Adjacent to the flats, a partially converted barn offers additional space with potential for various uses, including guest accommodation. This barn also features a first-floor apartment that has been recently refurbished to a high standard. The highlight of the property is the substantial bunk house to the north side of the courtyard, which can accommodate up to 40 people across various dormitories. This impressive space includes a large communal kitchen, a substantial common room with feature beams, and a games/party room, making it an ideal venue for events such as weddings. The property's location on the Dales Way footpath presents excellent opportunities for further developing the business, particularly in the tourism and leisure sectors. The site includes a part-developed barn with planning permission for a swimming pool, spa, and additional annexe and staff flat, which could significantly enhance the offering. The courtyard is unique and has been used for filming and TV productions, adding to its charm and appeal. It provides a versatile space that can be adapted for various uses, including hospitality, events, or as a private retreat. Swarthghyll Farm also benefits from potential for farming
