A former pub in North Yorkshire has been listed for sale at £585,000, offering potential buyers an opportunity to develop the site into a holiday park. The Haynes Arms, located near Kirkby Sigston in Northallerton, is being marketed by estate agents Christie & Co.
The 3.9-acre site includes planning permission for the installation of 20 static caravans and four timber pods, transforming the property into a destination for tourism and outdoor hospitality.
The pub building itself, which is currently vacant, occupies approximately 0.5 acres, with the adjacent field extending to 3.4 acres. Christie & Co. describes the property as a “stone-built public house” that once had a strong reputation as a food-led business.
The estate agents note that the pub has been unoccupied for some time, presenting a buyer with an opportunity to refurbish the building’s interior. Aside from that, the site also features parking for about 30 vehicles and a terraced patio.
Situated off the A19 northbound carriageway, the property is approximately four miles east of the market town of Northallerton and eight miles north of Thirsk.
Its location provides convenient access to the North York Moors National Park, the tourist town of Helmsley, and the nearby Thimbleby Shooting Ground, a popular destination for visitors.
While the planning permission granted on December 8, 2023, supports the development of a holiday park, Christie & Co. suggests that alternative uses are also possible. These could include refurbishing the property as a pub or restaurant or converting it for another purpose, subject to the necessary permissions.
According to a report by the Northern Echo, the plans for the site include landscaping and access improvements, integrating the development with the surrounding area.
Christie & Co. describes the property as offering substantial potential in a desirable North Yorkshire location, emphasizing its appeal to those seeking a versatile investment opportunity.
