Description

An interesting opportunity to acquire a former reservoir offering considerable potential for alternative uses, subject to necessary consents. Extending to around 5.6 acres and located in a secluded position on the edge of the highly desirable town of Settle in the heart of Ribblesdale.

The sale of this former reservoir offers an exciting opportunity to acquire a site in the heart of this popular Ribble Valley community. There is clear scope for a variety of alternative uses subject to the grant of necessary consents. The site is now in private ownership (having been a Yorkshire Water commodity) and comprises a large reservoir approximately 75 metres long by 45 metres wide and 5 metres deep, dug into a steep hillslope surrounded by tree planting. The site currently contains a large workshop with offices and store rooms (1809 Sq Feet) and log store (255 Sq. Feet). The total area of the site extends to around 5.6 acres. Access to the site is gained by the way of a steep single lane track that terminates at the second site entrance. This track is also a public footpath that continues into the adjacent fields.

The market town of Settle is approximately 3/4 mile away and offers a varied range of amenities including a bustling market square with a 'Tuesday' market, railway station on the famous Settle to Carlisle line and schooling. There are many popular independent shops as well as a Booths supermarket. Settle also has a swimming pool, library, golf club, health centre and a wide range of recreational facilities. The larger market town of Skipton is approximately 16 miles away and Lancaster around 28 miles away.

Planning
The timber lodge was originally granted as temporary accommodation in 2014 and extended in 2019 for a further 3 years. The temporary permission has now expired and the lodge is in the process of being removed. Interested parties should make their own enquiries to the local planning authority.

Inspection of the site is necessary to understand what is on offer. Offers are invited for the site as a whole and offers subject to planning consent will not be entertained.
