Foldgate Farmhouse (Lot 1) is a traditional stone farmhouse set within the Lake District National Park, currently run as a successful holiday-let and offering immediate income potential. The property occupies a very large plot with far-reaching fell and coastal views, a mix that appeals to holiday-living guests and buyers seeking a life/work rural base. Interior character includes exposed beams, stonework and a brick fireplace; the EPC is Band C.
For investors this presents a turnkey holiday-let with healthy income history and flexible future uses including multigenerational living or continuing the holiday business. The building was constructed/converted in the early 2000s using granite walls with internal insulation and benefits from double glazing and oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note material constraints: the farmhouse’s internal floor area is small (approximately 566 sq ft for five bedrooms), broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal on site. Services include borehole water and a private septic tank — compliance and any required upgrades are the buyer’s responsibility. Access can be affected by local road closures; prospective purchasers should verify travel routes and service conditions.
This lot suits a purchaser wanting immediate holiday-let income and strong scenery appeal, or someone prepared to manage rural-service limitations and capitalise on the property’s plot, location and character.
