Whinfell, Kendal, Cumbria

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom stone farmhouse in Whinfell is set within approximately 15.69 acres of pasture, meadow and woodland, with the option to purchase the property as a whole or in two lots. The house is described as requiring full renovation and retains traditional features. Its accommodation includes two reception rooms, a kitchen and pantry, three first-floor bedrooms, a family bathroom and a large attic room offering further potential, subject to any required consents. An adjoining bank barn contains workshops, stores and shippons, with an open upper floor and a further lean-to. The listing notes that the barn’s structural integrity is poor, and that access to its loft and under-housing is not permitted. Conversion or other changes would require the relevant consents and approvals. A static caravan is also included. The holding is described as suitable for a range of rural uses, including livestock, equestrian interests or hobby farming. The farmhouse and buildings with approximately 15.69 acres form Lot 1; a separate meadow of approximately 2.54 acres is offered as Lot 2. The property is in an elevated rural position near the edge of the Lake District National Park, with Kendal and Sedbergh providing nearby services.
