Nestled within the picturesque landscape of the Lake District National Park, this traditional three-bedroom farmhouse presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Set on approximately 50 acres of ring-fenced land, the property includes not only the charming stone-built farmhouse but also an adjoining barn, a detached stone barn, and several smaller outbuildings.
The farmhouse is rich in potential, offering a warm ambiance that invites creative improvement. The ground floor consists of a cozy sitting room featuring a multi-fuel stove, a dining area, and a traditional kitchen alongside a modern family bathroom. Upstairs, the three spacious double bedrooms boast impressive views of the surrounding Lakeland scenery. The side barn serves currently as storage but offers possibilities for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning).
Outdoors, the property is enhanced by a cottage-style garden at the rear and an expansive side garden equipped with an undercover outdoor kitchen and BBQ area, ideal for entertaining. Children will enjoy the built-in treehouse, while adults can unwind around the fire pit by the pond nestled among various paths that lead through the grounds. Ample gravel parking is available in the courtyard.
Across from the main residence lies an attractive stone barn primarily used for storage; however, it has potential for use as ancillary accommodation depending on local regulations. The other outbuildings may require some restoration but offer practical utility for managing agricultural operations or could be adapted to suit other pursuits on the extensive land.
This setting is exceptional for those interested in country living or smallholding ventures. With possibilities to engage in equestrian activities or to establish income-generating opportunities such as yurts or camping (subject to planning permission), this property truly allows you to explore various lifestyles.
The rural location on Nether Row's southern slopes provides breathtaking views of northern fells and easy access to popular trails like the Cumbrian Way. It is conveniently located within driving distance of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket villages while remaining close to Carlisle, Penrith, and Wigton.
The property benefits from private water supply with filtration and mains electricity; plans are underway for a new treatment plant installation for drainage needs. Recent upgrades include an oil central heating system with a new boiler installed in 2023.
Discovering Hilltop Farm means embracing both tranquility and potential in one of England's most stunning natural landscapes—a rare chance not only to own a piece of Lakeland charm but also to shape it according to your vision.
