Spanning approximately 211.89 acres, this property includes a diverse landscape with 159.79 acres of productive pastureland and permanent grassland, alongside 9.28 acres of woodland and rough grazing, as well as 42.82 acres designated for allotment purposes. The centerpiece is a traditional Cumbrian Long House that, while in need of refurbishment, presents an exciting opportunity to craft a charming family home with unique character.
The farmhouse features classic stone-rendered elevations beneath a slate roof and is accessed via a private drive leading from Mosser village. Inside, the layout consists of an entrance hallway, kitchen, utility room, sitting room, dining room, and bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer potential for comfortable living spaces. Additionally, there is a stone-built shed attached to the side of the farmhouse with a loft above that could be repurposed for various uses.
Complementing the residential aspect are several traditional agricultural buildings situated to the west of the farmhouse. These include a range of stone constructions with slate roofs suitable for conversion projects or further agricultural use. Notably, planning permission was granted in June 2021 for transforming these existing structures into tourist accommodation—a key aspect for investors looking to tap into the growing tourism market in this UNESCO World Heritage area.
The property’s terrain is hilly and classified as Grade 4/5 by DEFRA, featuring slowly permeable fine loam over clay ideal for grassland production and livestock grazing. The land rises from Mosser village to moorland at its southern boundary, offering breathtaking views over the Solway Firth to the north and the Cumbrian mountains to the south.
Nestled at the end of its own private drive within its ring-fenced land, this property provides tranquility amidst the beautiful countryside near Mosser village and close proximity to Lake District National Park. The nearby town of Cockermouth offers essential amenities while larger urban centers like Keswick, Carlisle, and Penrith are easily accessible by car. The local area’s status as one of the major UK tourist destinations creates significant investment potential for those looking to develop tourism-related enterprises at Fellside Farm. With extensive plans available through the vendor’s agent and additional development possibilities at hand, this estate presents a unique opportunity for renovation and growth in an idyllic setting.
