Summary - OLD FARM COTTAGE RAISBECK PENRITH CA10 3SG
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Character farmhouse with paddocks, barn and countryside views.
Five-bedroom farmhouse plus independent two-bedroom cottage
Set in the peaceful hamlet of Raisbeck within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Newlands Farm & Cottage offers a rare combination of period character and practical rural space. The main five‑bedroom farmhouse has three reception rooms and an impressive dining kitchen; a separate two‑bed cottage provides immediate ancillary accommodation or holiday let potential. The site includes two paddocks, an orchard and a detached stone barn, all extending to around 1.22 acres in total.
This is a property for those seeking a country lifestyle: hobby farmers, equestrian owners and families who value outdoor space and wide southerly and easterly views towards the Howgills. Practical features include double glazing fitted since 2002, fibre broadband, mains water and a modern oil boiler with radiators. The cottage and farmhouse are both rated Energy D and council tax sits at a moderate level.
There are important practical points to note. The detached barn is subject to a restrictive covenant preventing conversion, so it cannot be turned into additional living space. Drainage is via a private Septic/TriCell treatment plant in the orchard, and heating is oil‑fired, which will carry ongoing fuel costs. The property’s stone walls are original and assumed uninsulated, so buyers should expect some traditional maintenance and potential upgrading to improve thermal performance.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful rural retreat with flexible accommodation and useful outbuildings, well placed for Lake District access and M6 links. It will suit buyers prepared for countryside stewardship and routine farmhouse maintenance, and those who value immediate income potential from the cottage or the lifestyle offered by paddocks and stables.
