Summary - BANK END FARM, LYTHE LANE LA2 8RE
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Secluded smallholding with holiday‑let potential and significant renovation scope.
Circa 5.29 acres of garden, field and large agricultural building
Bank End Farm is a substantial, historic 1716 farmhouse at first‑fix stage, set within c.5.29 acres with sweeping Forest of Bowland views. The central farmhouse requires completion of kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and decoration but already has plumbing, electrical first fix and double glazing in place. Attached is a fully finished three‑en‑suite holiday barn, ready for letting, and a third barn with works started that requires completion.
Planning permission (Lancaster City Council ref: 03/01107/CU dated 19/11/03) exists for conversion of redundant agricultural buildings to provide two additional holiday units, offering clear scope for income generation. A large agricultural building, parking area, garden, field and existing micro‑grid with solar, wind turbine, battery storage and spring water support a largely off‑grid, self‑sufficient lifestyle.
Practical considerations are straightforward and factual: the property is off mains services (private spring water, septic drainage and a diesel backup generator), heating is oil‑fired (boiler, radiators and underfloor heating), and many original stone walls are likely uninsulated. The farmhouse and incomplete barn are renovation projects requiring time, budget and listed/consent checks; the planning consent is dated and prospective buyers should confirm current compliance with local planning policy.
For buyers seeking space, seclusion and rural enterprise potential, this is a rare opportunity to combine a family home with holiday letting or smallholding use. There is also a public footpath crossing the land and the property sits in an isolated hamlet — ideal for privacy but less convenient for immediate services.
