A rare rural holding on the edge of Carnforth, Thwaite Gate House occupies about 1.86 acres and offers extensive outbuildings, garaging and open yard space. The traditional stone farmhouse retains Georgian proportions and high ceilings, with multiple reception rooms, conservatory and first-floor bedrooms that enjoy uninterrupted views across Morecambe Bay and the Lake District.
The range of barns, former milking parlour, workshops and open stores suit a car collector, equine owner or small-scale agricultural/commercial user. Several large buildings are noted as having potential for conversion, subject to necessary planning approvals. There is also a separate negotiation option to acquire approximately 22 acres of adjoining agricultural land, expanding the holding considerably.
Practical issues are stated plainly: services have not been checked and the location of the septic tank is unknown, so buyers should commission surveys. The property has oil-fired heating, double glazing installed post-2002, and traditional stone walls likely without modern insulation. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area, which may affect home-working or streaming needs.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful farmhouse with strong storage and development potential for the right purchaser. The planning potential is unconfirmed and conversions would require formal approval; sensible buyers will budget for service upgrades and possible structural or energy-efficiency works.
