Bainleyside Farm, Great Fryupdale, Lealholm

PARTICULARS OF SALE

Bainleyside Farm is an attractive traditional farm holding, which would now be considered small in commercial terms, located on the east side of Fryupdale. The property lies approximately 200 yards downhill from the former Methodist Chapel which has now been converted to a house.

The nearest amenities lie in the village of Lealholm, which is around 2½ miles away to the north. The property has good access via a tarmac driveway leading from the dale road.

Bainleyside Farm is a small stock farm including a traditional stone built house and range of outbuildings, plus a slightly more modern Dutch barn and lean-to.

The Farmhouse
The house has a total of 4 bedrooms on the first floor, plus 2 spacious attic rooms which could be converted to provide additional accommodation.

To the ground floor there is a large reception room, dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and a pantry plus an entrance vestibule. The house has had some limited modernisation, but would require substantial renovation for most modern residential tastes. The farmhouse is built of local stone under a tiled roof which has 2 differing coloured tiles.

The Land
The land at Bainleyside Farm extends to approximately 36.94 acres (14.95 hectares) plus the farmstead. All of the land is down to permanent pasture and lies mainly to the north of a block which surrounds the farm yard, within a ring fence.

The fields stretch from the dalesides road to the stream in the bottom and are all bounded by either post and wire fences or dry-stone walls which need attention in places. The land is typical dalesides land of the area with some fields being capable of being mown however many fields are ripe for re-seeding.
