GEORGE F. White is marketing Roof Farm at Gunnerside, North Yorkshire.

Roof Farm comprises 99.77 acres of in bye land, 11 field barns, modern agricultural buildings, a disused house and grazing rights for sheep and cattle on the surrounding commons.

The sale has been arranged in six lots with a guide price for the whole of £550,000.

Located in a magnificent setting, with stunning views of Swaledale, this substantial piece of land has been divided into lots of varying sizes.

With prices ranging from £20,000, there is something for all types of rural purchasers.

Some have up to 30 acres of land, which offers farmers the flexibility to increase the size of their existing holding, while another gives lifestyle purchasers the opportunity to pick up a dereclict house with a parcel of land.

The grazing rights on the renowned Gunnerside Pasture for ten cattle or 50 sheep are also expected to be much soughtafter.

Parcels of land for sale in the North Yorkshire Dales are not an everyday occurrence and this opportunity has arisen as a result of the present owner retiring.

It is all being sold in conjunction with Hawes Auction Mart by private treaty with an anticipated closing date later this month.

Many of the lots also come complete with their own Yorkshire stone field barns. In addition, several lots are expected to achieve income from the various new environmental schemes.

James Alderson, of George F. White, said: “We are expecting considerable interest given the current demand for agricultural land which is seen as a safe investment and we know that more and more farmers are looking to expand their acreage.”
