Woodhouse Farm is a substantial period farmhouse set within about 2.21 acres of immediate grounds, forming part of a larger productive holding in a desirable Milnthorpe location. The principal house provides eight bedrooms across three floors and generous flexible rooms ready for a comprehensive modernisation programme. The property retains traditional granite stone construction and strong rural character with distant estuary/coastal views and easy access to A6/M6 corridors.
The steading includes a range of traditional stone barns with planning consent (ref. 2024/1141/FPA) to convert into three independent dwellings — a 3-bed, a 4-bed and a 5-bed unit with gardens and garaging — offering clear development upside for a developer or investor. There is also a steel portal cubicle building, silage clamp and yard areas that provide further scope subject to consents. Overall plot size and surrounding pasture suit livestock, equestrian or amenity uses and support a premium rural valuation.
The house requires full modernisation: single bathroom for eight bedrooms, assumed uninsulated stone walls, oil-fired boiler and radiators, and likely electrical and thermal upgrades. Buyers should allow for substantial capital expenditure to bring the farmhouse and outbuildings up to contemporary standards despite the planning consent for the barns. Council tax is noted as expensive. This lot therefore suits purchasers seeking a hands-on renovation/development project with significant scale and rural appeal.
