Our Summary

• DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY - A substantial range of farm buildings including a 4-bedroom house to modernise/rebuild plus two stone barns with historic permission to convert, plus further buildings with potential, in an enviable 3 acre rural setting south of Harrogate with a lovely southerly outlook and views over Lower Wharfedale
• Introduction - At Swindon Bank Farm, there is the opportunity to retain the existing dwelling and modernise/extend to personal choice
• Alternatively there is a comprehensive planning approval for the construction of a new country house of exceptional design, stature and presence that would be best in class
• When coupled with the potential of the adjacent stone barns as separate dwelling, or ancillary accommodation, one can soon appreciate why this is such a unique opportunity with the existing buildings having an external footprint of some 9800 sq ft
• Development Potential - Swindon Bank Farm offers a number of development options, either as conversion/modernisation or new build
• The present stone farmhouse comprises 4 bedrooms and 2 reception rooms having attached outbuildings with potential to enhance the living accommodation either single or two storey
• The adjacent range of stone barns are L shaped and naturally lend themselves for conversion to two separate dwellings, albeit there is an extant consent as a single larger dwelling of around 3400 sq ft
• Planning - Planning Permission was granted on 22 August 2023
• There is also extant/historic planning permission to convert the two stone barns into one substantial dwelling, with potential to develop as two separate dwellings as an alternative (subject to appropriate consents)
• Further buildings with conversion potential
• Planning for impressive new country house of 7300 sq ft
• Two stone barns with extant planning for 3400 sq ft dwelling
