A RURAL opportunity to convert a stone and slate-built barn into a family home and a holiday let has arisen in the Yorkshire Dales.

Craggs Barn is a substantial, detached Grade II-listed shippon and barn, located just over two miles from Sedbergh and the cobbled village of Dent.

With breathtaking views up and down the valley to the fell beyond, the property has direct road access and full planning permission for converting into a three-bedroom local occupancy dwelling, with a three-bedroom holiday let on the side to generate income.

Plans for unit 1, a home for locals, feature a double-height sitting room, dining kitchen, utility room, snug, cloakroom, gallery landing and three double en-suite bedrooms.

Meanwhile, unit 2, the holiday let, is planned to offer a sitting room, dining kitchen and three double en-suite bedrooms. The plans for both properties show small back gardens and two private parking spaces each.

As the agents, Davis & Bowring, explain, in many ways the project has been started as Craggs Barn was converted in 1994 into a workshop and office. Mains electricity has already been installed, together with metered water, and drainage to a septic tank capable of serving both properties. There is also B4RN hyperfast broadband to the boundary, available for connection.

Although Craggs Barn has a scenic rural location in the Dales, the shops, schools, tea rooms, pubs and services of Sedbergh and Dent are just two-and-a-half miles away. Junction 37 of the M6 motorway is 7.5 miles, Dent railway station 6.7 miles, and Oxenholme railway station 12.8 miles.
