Summary - SKELGILL FARM NEWLANDS KESWICK CA12 5UE
1 bed 1 bath Land
Rustic barn with huge development or agricultural potential near Keswick.
Circa 4.04 acres of land and substantial stone barn
A rare opportunity in the Lake District National Park: a substantial traditional stone barn and circa 4.04 acres of land at Skelgill Farm, set on the edge of Catbells with wide fell and lake views. The barn’s rustic stone construction and slate roof retain genuine character and present clear potential for conversion or agricultural reuse, subject to planning consent. Broadband is reported fast, but there is no mobile signal on site.
The holding is approached from a minor public road and sits in a secluded, hamlet setting a few miles from Keswick with easy access to A66. Services are nearby; a septic tank serving Skelgill Farmhouse and a water supply cross the land. If sold separately, rights to those services would be reserved in favour of the farmhouse and other properties. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding service connections.
Planning history can be supplied on request; any renovation or conversion would require the necessary consents from the local authority. The barn needs renovation and is offered freehold; buyers should note potential constraints from the National Park and the need to confirm any development feasibility before purchase. The sale is subject to a closing date of 12 noon Wednesday 22nd October 2025.
