Extensive land, barns and far-reaching countryside views ideal for smallholding buyers.
Detached farmhouse with traditional stone features and exposed beams
Mill Bank is a substantial detached farmhouse set in an elevated, private position with sweeping rural views across 14.83 acres. The house retains traditional features — exposed stone walls, deep bay windows, coving and a log burner — and offers three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and generous reception rooms arranged over a one-and-a-half storey plan. A south-facing orchard, enclosed lawn garden and patio provide sheltered outdoor living spaces.
The site’s major strength is the extensive outbuildings and agricultural land. Three barns and a farmyard offer versatile space (over 11,500 sq ft of floor area) for storage, workshops, equestrian use or potential conversion subject to planning and other consents. The land has no stated agricultural restrictions and includes fenced fields, hedged boundaries and a spring-water-fed barn.
Practical points are straightforward: mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating and septic tank drainage. There is a public footpath crossing one field and broadband is very slow (standard 27 Mbps listed). Council Tax is band F and the property will require the usual checks under AML if an offer is accepted. Any buyer planning to alter or convert the outbuildings should budget for surveys, statutory consents and possible refurbishment work.
This home will suit buyers seeking a rural lifestyle: hobby farmers, smallholding or equestrian purchasers, investors looking for conversion potential, or a family wanting privacy close to Kirkby Lonsdale. The location is five minutes’ drive from the market town with good schools, easy access to the M6 and the Lake District within commuting distance.
