SUBJECT TO A LOCAL OCCUPANCY AND/OR HOLIDAY LET AGREEMENT

Mearbeck Barn is a magnificent Yorkshire Dales barn located halfway between the village of Long Preston and the popular market town of Settle. The Barn offers a fantastic opportunity to create a superb family home or holiday accommodation within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. 

Long Preston is an idyllic and highly sought after village on the edge of the spectacular scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The village offers quiet Dales living with a public house and post office. The popular market town of Settle is approximately 2 miles away offering a range of amenities including a supermarket, primary and secondary schools, public houses and restaurants. 

PLANNING 

Planning permission has been granted by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority under Application No. C/62/650, subject to a Section 106 Agreement which prescribes for local occupancy and/or short term holiday lets.

The approved scheme provides generous living accommodation on the ground floor including a light entrance hall to make full use of the barn’s original opening, along with a study/office, open plan living/dining area and utility room. On the first floor there is provision for two en-suite double bedrooms, two further large double bedrooms and a house bathroom.

Full details and plans are available on the website.

THE PLOT

The Barn is set in 0.24 acres (0.1 ha) shown edged red on the plan. This exceeds the area included with the planning permission (shown with a green line). The Buyer will be responsible for erecting and thereafter maintaining a stock proof boundary. Buyers must not assume that land outside the green line be used as residential curtilage.

ACCESS

There will be a right of way granted to the buyer over the farm track heading from the A65 shown coloured brown on the plan . This will be subject to a contribution to maintenance of 20%. 

SERVICES 

It is anticipated that water will be provided via a new borehole and sewage to be to a private   sewage treatment tank. There is no electricity supplied to the property, but there are nearby overhead lines and wayleaves will be granted to allow the buyers to get a new supply at their own expense. The Vendors have received a quote from ENWL of £11,821.66 inc VAT. A copy of the quote is available on our website.   

TENURE 

Freehold with vacant possession upon completion.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
