Lot 1 at Wreaks End is a ringfenced block of sound pasture and meadow extending to about 15.39 acres (6.23 ha), set within the Lake District National Park. The land is well enclosed by mature hedgerows, post-and-wire fences and some dry-stone walling; all boundaries are described as stockproof and the parcel includes a mains-fed water trough and natural water supply.
Practical features include a permanent right of way through the adjacent converted farmstead, existing sheep-handling facilities in the southwest corner, and clear grazing potential for sheep or cattle. The vendor will retain access to an adjacent open-fronted building (excluded from sale), and purchasers should note the shared mains supply arrangement if Lots 1 and 2 sell separately — sub‑meter installation costs would be split between buyers.
Buyers must take on the existing Environmental Stewardship (ELS) agreement and comply with its terms or join a successor SFI scheme; transfer forms and possible small administrative fees will apply. The land has direct visibility from the A595 nearby and offers northerly views toward the Southern Fells, making it of interest to local farmers, landowners, investors or those seeking environmental land holdings.
Important considerations: the area is within a national park (planning constraints), broadband is very slow, and the site is noted as having a high flooding risk — these factors affect development potential and some agricultural operations. The property is offered freehold, available by private treaty as Lot 1, Lot 2, or the whole holding.
