Yahoo18 hours ago
An 18th century North Yorkshire farmhouse with almost 64 acres of land has been put on the market for £850,000.
Honeykiln Farm, located east of the Nether Silton village, features a four-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse and several outbuildings, according to DDM Agriculture, the estate agents handling the sale.
Despite its potential, the estate is in need of modernisation.
The farmhouse, built in 1798, offers "spacious family accommodation", with a ground floor comprising a large kitchen, separate dining room, living room, utility, and back kitchen.
Upstairs, there are four "generously proportioned" bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The fields, extending to approximately 63.92 acres, are of a good workable size for modern agricultural machinery.
It also includes a range of traditional and modern buildings, providing livestock housing and machinery storage.
These could also be converted for equestrian interests.

105 years ago: Greenock's 'oldest graving dock' being filled in (1920)

From the archive... THE old graving dock at Greenock West Harbour, one of the oldest in Scotland, is being filled in, and will soon have disappeared in the common level of Harland & Wolff's yard. The dock must be about 150 years old, having been constructed later than the one at Port-Glasgow, which dates from 1762, and is claimed to be the oldest graving dock in Scotland. During the war several concrete ships were built in the dock.

Arrol & Co. are carrying material from part of the yard which is being levelled and dumping it with other debris in the old basin. A narrow-gauge railway has been laid from the foot of the yard round to the graving dock, and the little train of bogies, with their toylike locomotive, are a source of great interest to the passersby.

'New garden shed tax' warning as householders urged to check if they're affected

People have been warned they could face a surprise charge if they have a shed in their garden. An expert said unexpected council tax demands could arise if a common change was made to the garden structure. While the so-called "new garden shed tax" won't apply to everyone, Sam Jenkinson from garden building retailer Tiger, said it was becoming increasingly common across the UK.

Sam said: "Government guidance states that a property is considered a separate dwelling and can therefore be assigned its own council tax band if it includes an independent entrance, a kitchen, and a bathroom." While this means most standard garden sheds and log cabins would be exempt, those who've added permanent residential amenities might could face additional costs. Sam continued: "This won't apply to most people but if your shed has been changed to include full-time living facilities, it could be taxed." Local authorities were reportedly examining planning applications, reviewing property sales, and conducting inspections to spot buildings that might qualify as separate homes. "When planning applications are submitted, councils may review them to determine whether a shed could be classified as a separate dwelling," Sam added. "Similarly, when a property changes ownership, councils can review its classification." If a shed was found to meet the requirements, it could be assigned its own council tax band by the Valuation Office Agency. However property owners do have the right to challenge the decision. Sam said: "If your shed is reclassified as a separate dwelling and you believe this is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. "You can provide evidence such as photographs or floor plans to demonstrate that the shed does not have the necessary facilities to qualify as a separate home." Some sheds used by a dependent relative may also be exempt, however Sam recommends checking with your local council to confirm if this applies in your case. He added: "Garden rooms are great for hobbies, working from home, or entertaining, but they can't be used as permanent self-contained accommodation without planning permission. "Adding a bedroom, kitchen or bathroom could mean you need both planning permission and building regulations approval."
