This lot is a compact parcel of productive Lake District land offered as Lot 4 at Robin Hood Farm, extending to approximately 1.25 hectares (3.09 acres). The plot sits within open countryside with scenic views toward surrounding fells and Bassenthwaite Lake, making it suitable for grazing, small-scale agricultural use or as an investment holding within a larger estate. Mains water is available to the land.
Practical matters you should note: the land is predominantly Grade 4 (best suited to grass production), basic boundaries are a mix of stone walls, hedgerow and post-and-wire, and there are rights, easements and wayleaves affecting the property which the buyer must check. There are no current environmental stewardship schemes and delinked Basic Payment entitlements remain with the vendor.
Services and access: single-phase mains electricity and mains water serve the broader farm; foul drainage for the farm uses a septic tank (no formal tests carried out and may not meet current General Binding Rules). Purchasers of the agricultural land will be required to install sub-meters to the mains water supply and will be billed directly. Broadband to the area is very slow, though mobile signal is excellent.
This lot will be offered by auction/closing date procedure as part of a wider sale of Robin Hood Farm. It is a straightforward, low-risk agricultural holding (no flood risk recorded) for buyers seeking grazing land or a small parcel for diversification. Be aware of practical overheads and statutory checks — boundaries, rights of way, and drainage compliance — before purchase.
