Newlands Farmhouse, offered as Lot 1, is a substantial three-bedroom stone farmhouse with approximately 2,193 sq ft of accommodation and about 11.34 acres (4.59 ha) of adjoining agricultural land. The farmhouse retains traditional character – stone/render walls, slate roof, wood-burning stove and exposed beams – and sits with far-reaching Lake District views. It benefits from mains water and electricity, a natural water supply to the land, and direct access from the public highway.
This lot will suit a purchaser seeking an operational smallholding or an addition to an existing agricultural holding. The land is predominantly Grade 3/4, suitable for grass and arable use, and is entered into a Mid-Tier environmental scheme that runs until 31 December 2027. There is useful outbuilding space, a greenhouse, office and utility room attached to the house, and well-maintained boundary fencing.
Buyers should note several material points: the farmhouse EPC is F, heating is by LPG boiler and radiators with some storage heaters present, and foul drainage is to a private system that has not been formally tested and may not meet current General Binding Rules. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — factors to consider for home-working or rural connectivity. Any standing crops or silage at completion must be purchased by the buyer; delinked Basic Payments will be retained by the seller and SFI agreements may be non-transferable.
The property is offered at a guide price of £650,000 and will be sold at auction. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on services, boundaries, and rights of way, and be prepared for potential modernisation work and energy-efficiency improvements.
