Sedbury Park Farm, Gilling West

Nestled in the heart of the North Yorkshire countryside, on the edge of the charming village of Gilling West near Richmond, this remarkable Grade II listed 18th-century farmhouse, established holiday-let business and farm buildings presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial rural estate with outstanding income and development potential.

Set within approximately 21.19 acres of productive pasture and meadow land, the property combines period character with significant commercial prospects. The home stead retains a wealth of original features and character throughout, including a striking high overmantel fireplace, exposed beams, and generously proportioned rooms. The main farmhouse accommodation is arranged over several floors, comprising a welcoming reception hall, a delightful sitting room perfect for family gatherings, a formal dining room with picturesque southerly views, a cosy snug or study, and a country-style kitchen/breakfast room with fitted cabinetry. Utility area includes a cloakroom/boiler room and a practical utility room.

The main landing gives access to four spacious bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. A separate staircase leads to an additional fifth bedroom and a second bathroom, while a further flight ascends to the unheated second storey, currently arranged as three rooms offering fantastic potential for expansion and further accommodation if desired.

To the exterior, the farmhouse enjoys mature gardens on the south and west elevations, with a delightful sense of privacy. Ample parking is provided for multiple vehicles, accessed via a sweeping driveway and private yard.

A key advantage of this estate is its successful and fully operational holiday let enterprise, comprising three high quality self catering cottages:

• The Stable – charming beamed annexe with en suite bedroom, kitchen and sitting room

• The Byre – modern conversion with two en suite bedrooms and open plan living

• The Cartshed - modern conversion with two en suite bedrooms and open plan living

And

• The Blacksmiths Shop – a separate, contemporary pod with en suite bedroom

For developers and investors, the farmstead includes a range of traditional and modern agricultural buildings, such as cattle housing, general purpose sheds, grain stores and workshops. Importantly, recent planning permission is in place for the conversion of additional barns into three residential dwellings, creating a substantial development opportunity to expand the business, diversify income, or add saleable assets.

The land itself is of particularly good quality, suitable for a range of agricultural or equestrian uses with an opportunity to create an equestrian business if desired. Enjoying access to Gilling West, with easy road links to the vibrant market town of Richmond. The location is ideal for exploring the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park, the historic Richmond Castle, and an array of excellent country pubs and restaurants. The A66 and Scotch Corner are within easy reach, making this a superb base for both relaxation and business. The main line train station is located at Darlington approximately 12 miles away bringing major cities of Newcastle, York and London within reach.

Properties of this calibre, blending period charm, business potential, and development opportunity, seldom come to market. Arrange a viewing today to fully appreciate all that this outstanding country residence and estate has to offer.

Planning

Full planning permission was obtained in May of 2015 (planning reference 14/0092/FULL) to develop the farm buildings with conversions, rebuild and extension to existing buildings, part built and part buildings to form 5 additional dwellings (3 of which were for holiday accommodation, and two for permanent residents).

Buildings have been developed to a high standard to provide holiday accommodation being The Cartshed, The Stable, The Byre and Blacksmiths Cottage.

There is potential to build three more dwellings under the current consent, which began with the completion of the first two units.
