Summary - Hesket Farm, Dacre CA11 0LU
1 bed 1 bath Land
Productive Lake District farm with planning for holiday cottages and substantial development potential.
Approximately 155.78 acres productive grassland (Grade 3–4)
Hesket Farm is a substantial productive grassland farm in the Lake District National Park, offered as a whole or in four Lots. The sale includes a recently improved three‑bed farmhouse, an extensive steading of modern and traditional buildings, and approximately 155.78 acres (63.04 ha) of mainly Grade 3–4 productive pasture. Planning permission (ref 7/2023/3124) has been granted to convert the traditional buildings into three holiday cottages, giving immediate diversification potential.
The farm is well equipped for livestock with large steel‑framed and traditional livestock buildings, slurry tower, two silage pits, and a former dairy/office block. The land is largely mowable and has supported around 350 ewes and 20 cattle; internal access is good and boundaries/hedging have recently been improved. The property’s size, layout and multiple access points make it suitable for farming consolidation, equine use, or further development (subject to consents).
Notable constraints are factual and important: the farmhouse EPC is rated G and council tax band F; heating is oil‑fired with an oil Aga; drainage is to a septic tank and some steading water relies on a borehole; mobile signal is absent and broadband is very slow. A public byway crosses the property and the land is subject to a Mid‑Tier Countryside Stewardship agreement until 31/12/2025.
Overall, Hesket Farm will suit an investor, farmer or developer seeking a large, well‑served livestock unit with immediate diversification routes via permitted holiday lets and additional lotting options to match different budgets and strategies.
