Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings-themed venue for sale

North Shire, located at Golden Hill Farm in Liverton, on the northern edge of the North York Moors National Park, was previously known as ‘Bunnyland’ (when a rabbit and guinea pig pet shop) and has also been used as boarding kennels, a cattery, and a caravan and camping site.

It is a licensed wedding venue, and is being advertised for suggested use as such, though “alternative leisure uses, given the varying historic uses of the site,” could also be explored, per Christie & Co.

The property occupies a site of approximately 4.89 acres; weddings are hosted in a “sizeable, clear-span” wedding barn, which accommodates up to 450 guests.

North Shire is accessible via the A171, the main road linking Whitby to Teesside.

Other “demand drivers” within one hour’s drive include Saltburn-by-the-Sea (8 miles), Guisborough (9 miles), and Whitby (13 miles).

Helmsley is 26 miles away, Malton is 32 miles away, and Darlington is 34 miles away.

The accommodation is themed after Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, including such areas as Hagrid’s Hut, the Gryffindor Dormitory, a chateau, a hobbit hut, seven shepherds’ huts, five pitches for static caravans, and a three-bedroom owner’s cottage.

The property benefits from various planning permissions “which would allow the expansion of the accommodation offering”; and, “given the size of the site, there is scope to accommodate further development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents,” according to Christie & Co.

“There is a lack of comparable wedding venues in the locality in terms of acreage,” also according to Christie & Co, “and the opportunity allows an incoming buyer a blank canvas in order to develop a similar leisure-based business.”

The property’s freehold is held under the title CE51193.
