- Adjoining stone barns with conversion potential, subject to consents
- Wind turbine included; FiT income ~£6–7k pa, FiT ends 28/10/2025

- Single-glazed windows; likely requiring refurbishment or replacement
- Shared access track; maintenance responsibilities unclear

Set high in the Lake District with panoramic valley and Morecambe Bay views, Lot 1 centres on a Grade II listed four-bedroom farmhouse and traditional stone outbuildings. The property sits within a large productive holding extending to circa 124.12 acres, mixing high-quality meadow, grazing pasture and woodland, plus public footpaths and natural water supply.
The farmhouse retains strong period character but has single-glazed windows and traditional services: oil central heating, private water (treatment plant) and septic drainage. The adjoining barns offer genuine scope for extension or conversion, subject to listed-building restrictions and obtaining planning and listed-building consents.
Practical considerations: the sale is by public auction with a set completion date and an available auction pack and special conditions. Broadband speeds are reported very slow; access is via a shared track and boundary maintenance responsibilities are not fully defined. A 30ft wind turbine in a field included in Lot 1 currently generates Feed-in Tariff income (circa £6–7k pa), but the FiT term is stated to end 28 October 2025 and the turbine does not supply the farmhouse.
This is a strong proposition for purchasers seeking an active rural lifestyle, small-scale farming or sympathetic redevelopment potential. Buyers should factor listed-status constraints, likely refurbishment work, utilities (private water and septic) and the auction process into their due diligence.
