Ellers Farmhouse is a beautifully presented detached residence located near the hamlet of Keld, in Upper Swaledale, nestled within the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. This rare off-grid property offers the opportunity to enjoy sustainable rural living surrounded by some of the region’s most dramatic and unspoilt landscapes.

Swaledale is renowned for its rugged hillsides, cascading waterfalls, and the meandering River Swale. Nearby are the picturesque villages of Thwaite, Muker, Gunnerside, and Reeth, all offering traditional pubs, local shops, and historic churches. The bustling market towns, Hawes and Kirkby Stephen are just 11 miles and 7 miles away and easily accessible. Both towns offers a good range of shops, pubs, doctors surgeries and schools.

The farmhouse has been renovated to an exceptionally high standard and provides spacious and well-appointed accommodation across two floors, combining traditional charm with modern comforts. Upon entering, a generous stone-flagged porch with a built-in stone bench offers a practical space for removing boots and outdoor gear. The welcoming sitting room enjoys an abundance of natural light through south-facing windows and features an impressive inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, creating a warm and inviting space. A large kitchen and dining area with a multi-fuel Rayburn is ideal for entertaining and everyday family living.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, and another currently used as a home office. A modern family bathroom completes the first floor.

Set in an elevated position, Ellers Farmhouse enjoys spectacular far-reaching views across Birkdale Beck to Great Shunner Fell. The outdoor space includes a south-facing enclosed garden with a greenhouse, a detached stone outbuilding for storage, and an adjoining barn that offers potential for conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The property is fully off-grid, powered by solar panels and wind turbines, with a private borehole providing water. This self-sufficient system ensures minimal running costs and a reduced environmental impact. Full technical specification information is available on request.

Ellers Farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful and sustainable home in one of the most sought-after areas of the Yorkshire Dales. Whether as a permanent residence, a peaceful retreat, or a potential holiday let, this exceptional property is perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of rural living.
