East and West Scale, Grisedale


 

Grisedale is a private and secluded dale running north from the A684 Hawes to Sedbergh road. The road ends in the dale, so has no passing traffic and the surrounding area is a mixture of heather moorland, woodland and open country.

Distances
Hawes 8.5 miles (14km)
Sedbergh 10 miles (16km)
M6 J37 18 miles (29km)
A1 Leeming Bar 36 miles (58km)

Situation
East and West Scale provide an unusual opportunity to create two distinctive and unique homes in the heart of the dales.  The buildings consist of two ruined farmhouses surrounded by their own land of about 80 acres and 0.86 miles (1.4km) beyond the end of the tarmac road.
Consent has been obtained to convert both properties, one into a house and the other into a studio. It is believed that the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority would consider amendments to the consents to reflect alternative uses. Subject to this, the two houses, which are some 70 yards apart, could operate as a single unit, main house and guest house, or could form two holiday homes.

Viewing
Viewing may be carried out at any time with a copy of the particulars available from our Leyburn offices.

Minerals
Insofar as they are owned, all minerals are included in the sale.

Sporting
The sporting rights are not believed to be owned and are not included in the sale.

Council Tax
The properties have not been assed for Council Tax purposes.

Further information
Copies of the planning consent, together with the relevant drawings are available from our Leyburn offices.

Services
A certain amount of work has been done to bring services to the site and the present position is as follows:

  • Water - a borehole is proposed

  • Electricity - proposed underground mains supply

  • Telephone: proposed underground connection for two lines

The Land
Surrounding the houses is approximately 80 acres of grazing and grassland. It has formerly been divided by traditional dry stone walls and these could be restored or it could be left as a single unit.
