Summary - Greenthwaite Hall Cottage, Berrier CA11 0XA
7 bed 2 bath Character Property
Substantial rural restoration and development opportunity near the Lake District.
Grade II* historic farmhouse complex dating to the 16th century
Greenthwaite Hall and Greenthwaite Hall Cottage form a rare Grade II* listed farmhouse complex on the fringe of the Lake District National Park, offering authentic 16th-century stone character, expansive rural views and substantial development potential in traditional outbuildings. The pair sit in a quiet village setting with off‑street parking, mature gardens and straightforward mains services for water and electricity.
This offering suits a buyer seeking a renovation and redevelopment project. The cottages provide seven bedrooms in total across two linked properties, with original features and high ceilings typical of the period. The adjacent range of stone outbuildings and later steel-framed agricultural sections present opportunities for conversion subject to planning and listed-building consent.
Buyers should be clear about the constraints: both properties are listed (Grade II*), which will complicate works and require specialist consent; one property has an EPC G rating, the other E; and the septic tank must be replaced with a sewage treatment plant within 12 months of completion. Broadband speeds are very slow and heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, adding running and upgrading costs.
For the right purchaser—an investor, developer or family with a restoration brief—this is a compelling country project. The site combines heritage character, scale and scope for sympathetic modernisation, all within walking distance of Greystoke village and close to the Lake District’s amenities and scenery. Full due diligence on easements, wayleaves and conservation conditions is essential before proceeding.
