Lot 1 - Mire House Barn, Dentdale, Dent, Sedbergh, Cumbria, LA10 5SX
- Unconditional Online Auction Sale
- Guide Price* : £65,000+
- Bedrooms: 3
Description
An incredibly rare opportunity to purchase a detached stone barn in the Yorkshire Dales, with planning permission to convert to a stunning 3/4 bed house. The planning permission is rare as it does not contain a local occupancy clause, thereby ensuring its appeal to a wide range of buyers.
The property comprises a substantial detached typical Yorkshire Dales barn of stone construction, beneath a pitched and stone/slate covered roof. The barn is sold with an area of land to provide car parking and a garden area to the east of the barn.
Planning permission exists for conversion of the existing barn into a 3-4 bedroomed dwelling, and since works to the property have already commenced, we understand that the planning permission is available in perpetuity – see legal pack for further details.
Accommodation
In accordance with the planning permission, the proposed accommodation comprises a ground floor living/dining area with adjoining kitchen, inner hall, bathroom and bedroom. On the upper floor, there will be a further two bedrooms and bathroom, with on site car parking to the north of the existing barn.
Plans of the proposed development are available on request, and the total internal area extends to approximately 101 sq m (1087 sq ft).
Tenure
Freehold with vacant possession

Planning
The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority granted planning permission for conversion of the property reference S/01/14C on 14 February 2001. The property is Grade II listed and listed building consent was granted on 16 November 2001 under reference S/01/14B/LB.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority have issued a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development (under reference S/01/140/LDC) dated 20 November 2023 confirming that the original planning consent has been implemented, and is therefore available in perpetuity.
South Lakeland District Council gave conditional approval of building plans on 13 October 2003 and various preliminary works to the property were completed at, or around that time.
Location
The property, which is shown for identification purposes on the enclosed ordnance survey sheet, enjoys stunning views across the local countryside, and is situated approximately mid-way between Sedbergh to the northwest and Dent to the southeast, above the river Dee.
There are various shops, cafes and public houses in Dent together with other services such as doctors surgery, small supermarket, retail and schools in nearby Sedbergh.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
