The “diverse and desirable” modern dairy farm, Greenbank Farm, has been brought to the market by GSC Grays with a guide price of £1,950,000.
The farm, which is situated in Aire Valley and is two miles from Skipton, extends to about 110.06ac.
The site includes:
- A stone-built four-bedroom farmhouse with a self-contained annex;
- A detached traditional barn with residential planning consent;
- A range of modern farm buildings, including a fully equipped dairy unit with livestock housing and machinery storage facilities.
The farm buildings are centred around modern cubicle housing with automatic feeding and cleaning facilities.
There is a DeLaval 20:20 herringbone parlour and milking facilities, two bulk tanks (6,300L capacity), 305,000 gallons of slurry storage, two uncovered silage clamps, open straw barns, machinery stores, loose livestock housing and young stock holding pens.
The buildings also have scope for a range of alternate uses, including commercial storage or farm business diversification, subject to attaining the necessary consents, GSC Grays said.
The land is predominantly Grade 3 farmland comprising a mixture of productive meadows and pasture with the main ring-fenced holding of a sum 96.38ac and a block of 13.68ac located a further one mile south.
Head of farm sales at GSC Grays, John Coleman, said: “Greenbank Farm is an attractive combination of up to date dairy facilities, a comfortable and modern farmhouse, and the potential for additional residential development which makes it a highly desirable investment for anyone looking to own a first class dairy farm.”
Greenbank Farm
Greenbank Farm enjoys extensive frontage onto the Leeds & Liverpool Canal (approximately 370m), which provides scope for waterside redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and British Waterways consents, GSC Grays said.
The farmhouse has a private borehole water supply, oil central fired central heating, fibre optic broadband and domestic drainage to a septic tank while the farmyard has the benefit of three-phase electricity and a private borehole water supply.
The majority of the land is either supplied by natural water or troughs fed by the borehole supply.
The late eighteenth-century Crag End Barn has panoramic views over the valley and planning consent was attained for conversion to a single four-bedroom dwelling on September 2020.
Initial development works have commenced and have been signed off by the Local Planning Authority (LPA).
