There is not much else in Wilberfoss for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
