Summary - Hesket Farm, Dacre CA11 0LU
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large traditional farm with holiday-let consent and huge diversification potential in the Lake District.
Circa 36.98 acres: approx. 31.69 acres grassland and amenity woodland
Hesket Farm is a substantial traditional stone farmhouse with an extensive steading and circa 36.98 acres, set within the Lake District National Park. The farmhouse is recently improved with refurbished kitchen, new bathroom and shower room, double glazing and oil-fired boiler; it occupies an elevated position with open views and formal front and rear lawns. The property includes mains water and electric, septic drainage, a borehole serving part of the steading and ample off-street parking.
The steading comprises a large mix of modern and traditional agricultural buildings, former dairy infrastructure (slurry tower, silage pits, former dairy/office) and considerable livestock housing. Recent planning permission (ref 7/2023/3124) permits conversion of the traditional buildings to three holiday lets; there is also an existing precedent for 10 glamping pods (would require revised permission). These consents make the site well suited to a holiday-let or mixed farming/diversification business.
Positive income and lifestyle potential sit alongside clear practical constraints. The farmhouse has an EPC rating of G and is Council Tax band F. Broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal on site—important for commercial guests or home working. A public byway crosses the property and some buildings will require investment to realise development plans. The land is on a Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship scheme until 31/12/2025 (transfer possible, subject to conditions).
This offering will suit a lifestyle buyer, equestrian user or small-scale rural entrepreneur seeking extensive land, strong development potential and immediate access to Lake District visitors, provided they accept the location’s infrastructure limitations and regulatory obligations.
