Description

This historic 17th-century farmhouse, known as Bolton Head Farm, combines a family residence with a thriving boutique B&B. With ten spacious bedrooms and set on four acres of picturesque land, the estate offers tremendous potential for renovation and investment. The B&B component, recently featured on 'Four in a Bed,' demonstrates strong financial performance, boasting a turnover close to £250,000 in 2023. The property features contemporary guest accommodations with high-end finishes but still leaves room for updates or expansions to optimize business operations or personal use. Each guest room has unique characteristics, but the structure itself retains elements that could be further enhanced with thoughtful renovation. Notably, planning permission is already secured to convert the B&B into a five-bedroom home — offering flexibility for those looking to transition from hospitality operations to residential living. In addition to its lucrative B&B potential, the farmhouse exudes traditional Cumbrian charm with generous accommodations including four double bedrooms and various living spaces designed for family comfort. The exterior includes landscaped gardens and multiple outbuildings that provide opportunities for further development, such as converting an agricultural building for additional residential space or amenities. Moreover, there’s even planning permission in place to transform an unused slurry pit into a swimming pool — indicating possibilities for wellness or leisure facilities on site. Situated near the stunning Wasdale Valley and surrounded by natural beauty, this property not only represents an excellent investment opportunity but also allows room for creativity in its future development.
