A substantial rural holding on c.4.9 acres with a cluster of stone and steel agricultural buildings, useful yards and a wildlife pond. The site benefits from mains water and three‑phase electricity, making it immediately practical for agricultural or storage uses while you consider long‑term options.
Pre‑planning advice from Cumberland Council (July 2025) indicates the existing buildings are likely to be acceptable for conversion to residential under Part 3, Class Q of the General Permitted Development Order, but formal consent is required. Vehicular access is over a bridge from the village road; the plot is level to gently undulating and enclosed by hedges and fencing.
Important practical points: the plot is freehold, not in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, and sporting/mineral rights are retained insofar as owned. Constraints include medium flood risk for parts of the site, no mobile signal on site and average broadband speeds. Buildings are a mix of older stone ranges and modern sheds — useful but of mixed condition and likely needing adaptation or repair for conversion.
This property will suit buyers seeking land with development potential, rural smallholding uses or secure storage and yard facilities. Investors or redevelopers should factor in costs and timescales for obtaining planning consents, any building works, and flood‑risk mitigation where necessary.
