A rare chance to acquire a substantial stone barn with circa 4.04 acres in the Newlands Valley, positioned on the edge of Catbells within the Lake District National Park. The setting delivers exceptional fell and lake views across Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, with long-distance outlooks on clear days. The barn is a traditional stone and slate structure with evident age and moss growth; it requires renovation and any conversion would be subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
This freehold lot suits buyers who value seclusion, outdoor access and rural character — whether as an investment, a conversion project or an auxiliary agricultural holding. The land lies mainly to the south of the barn and provides pasture and paddock potential; sporting rights and mineral rights are included only to the extent owned. Note there is a septic tank serving the nearby farmhouse and a water supply that passes through the land, and rights will be reserved if other parts of Skelgill Farm are sold separately.
Practical points to check: the property currently needs renovation and prospective purchasers should investigate planning history and services. Mobile signal is recorded as none; broadband is reported fast. Access is from a minor public road and the location is minutes from Keswick’s amenities while offering immediate access to fell walking, driving routes and outdoor recreation.
