High Bethecar is a rare Lakeland farmstead combining a Grade II listed four-bedroom farmhouse with c.124.12 acres of productive meadow and upland pasture. Set in an elevated position, the house and steading enjoy panoramic fell and Morecambe Bay views and sit within well-maintained stone boundaries and traditional outbuildings. The holding is offered as a whole or in three lots, providing flexibility for different buyers.
The stone-built barns and yard present genuine scope for extension or conversion subject to local planning consents; this creates clear potential for holiday-let diversification or additional living space. There is a 30ft wind turbine on Lot 1 producing an estimated annual Feed‑in‑Tariff income (historically c.£6,000–£7,000) although the current FIT term with the supplier is due to end on 28 October 2025. The land is largely good-quality mowing and grazing, ring-fenced with natural water supplies and stock-proof stone walls.
Buyers should note material constraints: the farmhouse is Grade II listed (which can restrict alterations), windows are single glazed, drainage is to a septic tank and broadband speeds are very slow. The access is via a shared track and the property will be sold by public auction, with full legal packs available beforehand. This is a significant opportunity for purchasers seeking an active livestock farm, a long-term diversification project, or an investor targeting rural holiday accommodation, but it suits those prepared to manage listed-building requirements and rural utilities.
