Kidburngill Farm is a substantial traditional farmstead set in around 32.6 acres of permanent pasture with a large farmhouse, attached house and a wide range of modern and traditional agricultural buildings. The location is rural and well connected to the A66 and nearby Cockermouth, with attractive fell views and mains water to the land. The built complex offers immediate livestock-keeping capability with multiple cubicle sheds, silage pits and handling facilities.
The farmhouse and attached house are spacious and characterful, with high ceilings and large rooms across three storeys and attic spaces. Energy ratings are low (EPCs F-26 and E-51) and some heating is LPG or electric storage, so planned upgrades could improve comfort and running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow locally, though mobile signal is excellent.
There are clear commercial opportunities: productive Grade 3 pasture, existing Basic Payment Scheme entitlements to transfer, and a range of buildings suited to continuing stock rearing or alternative agricultural uses. A previously granted planning permission existed for conversion of a stone range to residential use, but the sale is subject to a 20-year clawback of 50% of any uplift in value if non-agricultural planning approval is obtained.
Buyers should note material maintenance and compliance issues: several roofs contain asbestos or fibre cement sheets, some buildings have earth floors, and walls are traditional stone with assumed no cavity insulation. The septic tank is shared with an adjoining property. The property is offered freehold, sold as a whole or in lots, and vacant possession will be provided on completion.
