2 Biggerside is a superb example of a traditional Yorkshire Dales Farm which has been thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated in recent years by the seller, whilst retaining the unique charm and undoubted appeal of the original period. Complementing the farmstead, is the traditional management of the farmland, subject to a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme. The creation of a wildlife pond, planting of trees under Woodland Management and restoration of the building whilst encouraging wildlife, embraces the passion and policy of the seller. An attraction, apart from the attributes of the magical setting with superb southerly views across the valley towards Dent village with Combe Scar on the horizon, is that the farm provides a wonderful opportunity for a change of lifestyle particularly those with either equestrian interests or hobby farmers.
