Castle Gate Farm Leyburn

Wensleydale Valley livestock farm in stunning location comes to market

Castle Gate Farm, set in the heart of the stunning Wensleydale Valley and featuring a three-bedroomed cottage and range of modern and traditional stone-built farm buildings, has come to market for offers over £1,800,000.

The farm, near Leyburn, includes about 219.55 acres (88.85 ha) with both productive meadowland, permanent pasture and rough grazing all within a ring fence in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

John Coleman, Head of Farm Agency at GSC Grays said : “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a commercial farm in Wensleydale where so many remain part of larger landed estates.  It does require investment but it includes all the essential ingredients for a sound livestock enterprise in a stunning location.”

The farmland comprises 53.62 acres of mowable grassland, 154.44 acres of permanent pasture and 5.21 acres of amenity woodland with the remaining land associated with the farm steading buildings and tracks. The fields are enclosed by a combination of dry-stone walls and post and wire fences which would benefit from upgrading while water for livestock is provided from natural sources.

The three-bedroom stone built cottage, converted from a traditional barn, is set over two floors and overlooks the River Ure. The property requires modernisation but benefits from a superb, elevated position with far reaching views.

The farm buildings comprise a range of modern steel portal frame buildings, including cubicle housing for 100 head of cattle, loose livestock housing, additional heifer cubicle housing and machinery/general purpose storage facilities. While in useable condition for basic agricultural purposes, they would benefit from upgrading and improvement.

There is also an extensive range of traditional stone buildings adjacent to the cottage which currently have limited agricultural use, but offer scope for alternate use, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

The farm is located close to Bolton Castle, Redmire and the market town of Leyburn. The A1(M) is easily accessible, while Northallerton provides direct rail services to London and Edinburgh. Teesside International Airport is also within easy reach, offering regular domestic and international flights.

Caste Gate Farm is being offered for sale with a guide price of offers over £1,800,000 through GSC Grays. For further information, please contact 01748 829203.
