This expansive property spans approximately 211.89 acres, featuring a diverse landscape that includes 159.79 acres of productive pastureland and permanent grassland, alongside 9.28 acres of woodland or rough grazing land, and an additional 42.82 acres designated as allotment land. The diverse topography presents numerous opportunities for agricultural use or investment in recreational activities.
At the heart of the property lies a traditional Cumbrian Long House with stone-rendered elevations beneath a slate roof. Although it requires refurbishment, this residence has significant potential to be transformed into a charming family home, tailored to modern living while preserving its classic character. The house comprises an entrance hallway, kitchen, utility room, sitting room, dining room, and bathroom on the ground floor, with three bedrooms located upstairs. An adjacent stone-built shed with a loft provides further possibilities for conversion or expansion.
Complementing the main residence is a collection of traditional farm buildings positioned to the west of the farmhouse. These structures include various stone constructions under slate roofs—an adaptable range ripe for renovation, particularly since planning permission was granted in June 2021 for their conversion into tourist accommodation as part of farm diversification efforts (see Lake District National Park planning portal reference 7/2021/2193 for details). This approval opens up avenues for developing income-generating ventures in an area renowned for its natural beauty.
The topography of the land is hilly and is classified by DEFRA as Grade 4/5 status. According to the Soil Survey of England and Wales, it features Brickfield 2 Series soil—characterized as slowly permeable and seasonally waterlogged fine loam over clay—which is ideally suited for grassland production and livestock grazing. The undulating terrain rises from Mosser village at its northern boundary to meet moorland at the southern edge, offering breathtaking vistas over the Solway Firth to the north and the Cumbrian mountains to the south.
Situated at the end of a long private drive and bordered by its own land within a ring fence, this property enjoys an idyllic countryside setting near Mosser village, which sits on the fringes of the Lake District National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that attracts countless tourists each year. The nearby town of Cockermouth provides essential amenities while larger centers like Keswick, Carlisle, and Penrith are just a short drive away. With excellent connectivity through road networks and Carlisle's mainline train service—approximately 30 miles distant—this location not only offers
