Summary - LAMB PADDOCK, COWGILL LA10 5TQ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Circa 45.26 acres ring‑fenced upland grazing with roadside access to parcel 1
Lamb Paddock is a rare ring‑fenced smallholding of circa 45.26 acres set high in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, offering elevated fell views and genuine scope for redevelopment. At its heart is a traditional stone farmhouse (c.1682) and two adjoining stone barns — all require comprehensive structural repair and full modernisation, creating a blank‑canvas opportunity for a rural enterprise or residential conversion (subject to planning).
Practical positives include mains electricity, excellent mobile and fast broadband availability, private off‑road parking and natural water sources across the holding. The land is a mix of Grade 4 and 5 permanent grassland used for upland grazing, largely ring‑fenced around the steading, with some woodland and natural springs; field parcel 1 is roadside‑accessible and capable of being cut.
Buyers should note substantial liabilities: the farmhouse and outbuildings need complete refurbishment; the private water supply was deemed unsatisfactory with remedial works required by Westmorland and Furness Council; drainage is to a septic tank likely non‑compliant with current rules; there is no central heating; and energy rating is Band G. The site lies in a protected National Park, which both increases desirability and will limit development options and require planning consents.
This lot will be sold by public auction on 9th October 2025 (Sedbergh People’s Hall). The property suits purchasers experienced in renovation, diversification or smallholding management who can factor in substantial renovation costs, possible planning lead times and regulatory works to the water and drainage systems.
