Lot 3 at Hesket Farm is a substantial, well-proportioned block of productive farmland extending to approximately 17.13 acres (6.93 ha), of which about 14.35 acres are high-quality arable/pasture cut annually for silage or hay. The flat fields are easily worked and would readily plough for alternative cropping. A modern steel-framed agricultural building and mains water supply are included, providing immediate storage, livestock accommodation or infrastructure for a smallholding or equine use.
Set within the Lake District National Park and close to Dacre village, the parcel combines productive agricultural value with lifestyle appeal. Good road links to the A66 and J40 (M6) make Penrith and wider transport connections convenient, while nearby Ullswater and local amenities add recreational and diversification potential. The site’s amenity woodland contributes biodiversity and visual interest.
There are important practical and legal points to note. A public byway crosses the property and the land is currently enrolled in a Mid‑Tier Countryside Stewardship (MTCS) scheme running until 31/12/2025; the scheme can be transferred but obligations and potential apportionments apply. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are limited, and any conversion of the existing building to a dwelling would require planning consents — enquiries should be based on the buyer’s own research. The holding is sold freehold with vacant possession.
Overall, Lot 3 will suit farmers, smallholders or investors seeking a productive, accessible block with immediate utility and future conversion potential, provided they accept the byway, scheme commitments and the need to secure any statutory consents for change of use.
