A rare countryside holding in the Forest of Bowland AONB comprising a traditional two‑storey stone barn and approximately 17.36 acres of pasture. The site offers open upland views, roadside access, and a substantial plot that will appeal to buyers seeking land, agricultural use or conversion potential (subject to planning permission).
The barn is structurally traditional with stone walls and a slate roof but is derelict and requires significant repair and conversion work; internal accommodation is small. There is no mobile signal on site, though broadband speeds are listed as fast. The property is freehold, vacant on completion and will be sold at auction with a guide price of offers in the region of £200,000.
This holding is best suited to purchasers looking for land value, an agricultural extension, or a conversion project in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The remote hamlet location offers tranquillity and very low local crime, but services and everyday amenities are some distance away and the building will need full renovation and planning consents for change of use.
Practical points: access from Station Road via roadside frontage, nearby primary schooling at Lowgill and Tatham Fells, and reasonably direct road links to Lancaster and Kendal. Buyers should budget for remedial works, statutory planning costs, and factor in the site’s isolation when considering utilities and renovation logistics.
