A substantial Grade II Westmorland farmhouse set in about 6.2 acres with wide views across the Lyth Valley. The house offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a pantry and generous room proportions that retain rustic features such as exposed beams and stonework.
Three large detached stone barns, a piggery and extensive land give genuine development and lifestyle potential. A favourable pre-application/planning response (Lake District National Park Authority, 17 Aug 2023, app 7/2023/5307) supports conversion of the traditional barns into dwellings, piggery conversion to an office and demolition to create a three-bay garage, subject to local occupancy rules.
The property requires comprehensive refurbishment: existing uPVC double glazing is contrary to listed‑building guidance and will need replacement, and the house will need updating throughout. Services include mains water and electricity, oil central heating and private drainage (septic tank). Listed status will impose additional consent requirements and restoration costs.
This is well suited to a family or developer seeking a characterful rural project within the Lake District National Park. Its combination of size, views and permitted development interest make it a rare opportunity, but buyers should budget for specialist listed‑building works, compliance with occupancy conditions for conversions, and general renovation costs.
