Our Summary

• Swindon Bank Farm - 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 for the likes of leisure facilities, garaging, or as separate dwelling (s), one can soon appreciate why this is such a unique opportunity
• 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
• In terms of new build, the combined expertise of specialist London based architects Ben Pentreath coupled with specialist designers Rural Solutions has secured detail planning permission for the construction of a new dwelling in classic English country house style, the likes of which are unlikely to be seen in the North of England let alone the greater Harrogate district
• 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)
