Foldgate Farm offers a rare rural holding within the Lake District National Park: a five-bedroom traditional farmhouse, a six-bedroom barn conversion, stables, two agricultural buildings and approximately 6.62 acres of land. The farm has operated successfully as holiday accommodation, providing immediate income and scope for multigenerational or live/work use. The site sits between the west coast and Corney Fell with long mountain views reaching towards the Isle of Man.
The buildings are substantial and versatile: the barn was converted in 2005 and includes owners’ accommodation, while the farmhouse retains original features and separate access. Two modern agricultural buildings and a stone stable block extend practical use for storage, livestock or diversification. There is additional paddock and grazing land across the road with a natural water supply, orchard area and a meadow beside the beck.
Buyers should note material practicalities: water is from a borehole, drainage is to a private septic tank (buyer to ensure compliance and any upgrades), heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and mains electricity is present. Mobile signal is effectively none and broadband speeds are very slow — important for holiday operators or home-workers. The property is offered as a whole or in lots; Lot 7 (Lambground, c.0.59 acres with a farmhouse ruin) has been sold.
This is a strong proposition for investors or buyers seeking an income-producing rural estate with scope for improvement and diversification. While the location is spectacular and private, expect investment in communications, potential septic upgrades and ongoing maintenance of stone buildings and agricultural structures.
