Long Preston, Skipton, North Yorkshire, BD23

In the most fabulous location with commanding splendid panoramic views, an agriculture barn with planning permission for conversion to a Local occupancy dwelling or holiday let.

Lower Mearbeck Barn is a magnificent Yorkshire Dales barn located between the village of Long Preston and the market town of Settle. The Barn offers a rare opportunity to create a superb family home within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The Barn offers 3 layouts for potential buyers:

- an upside down house with open plan living, dining and kitchen under the roof, 4 bedrooms and study to maximise the potential and views.

- a traditional style dwelling with living, dining, kitchen, 3-4 bedrooms and study.

- 2 smaller dwellings with 2-3 bedrooms which could offer investment potential.

These have been planned by architects. Layouts are available on request.
