Situated in the charming hamlet of Hackthorpe within Cumbria's Eden district, this Grade II listed property presents a unique opportunity for investors and renovators. The building, constructed from local stone and finished with a whitewashed render beneath a pitched slate roof, carries both historical value and the potential for modern adaptation. Currently operated as the Lowther Castle Inn since 2004, it has established a solid reputation for its high-quality food offerings and takeaway service.
The property's location along the A6 provides excellent connectivity to popular tourist attractions such as Lowther Castle and is near the stunning Lake District National Park. With planning permission already secured for converting the former dining room into a dwelling (Planning Application No. 21/0219), additional residential income streams can be realized.
The premises also house two self-contained apartments alongside a developed holiday let that can generate over £130 per night in peak seasons. There is considerable potential to extend dining hours and market private events, which could further boost profitability in an area seeing new housing developments and increased foot traffic.
Though currently operating under limited hours with historic sales around £265,000 annually, the strategic improvements could significantly enhance revenue opportunities while preserving the essence of this beloved establishment. Mains water and electricity are available, with heating provided via an oil-fired boiler. This property not only offers investment potential but also retains its charm as part of the community fabric.
