The Property

For sale as a whole or in any combination of 3 individual lots.


The Property
Low Baronwood Farm is set in a beautiful location in the heart of the iconic Eden Valley and provides all the charm of rural life whilst being only a short distance from the excellent range of local amenities within the village of Armathwaite, 4 miles from Lazonby and 11 miles from the busy market town of Penrith. Nearby transport connections include the M6 and A6, and trains from Carlisle and Penrith direct to London Euston.

The houses are situated at the end of a long sweeping drive over the original railway bridge and ending in an extensive gravelled parking area. The property is surrounded by rolling fields and open countryside with magnificent unspoiled views and benefits from a high degree of privacy. There are no public rights of way across the property.
The main house occupies a commanding position leading down to the banks of the River Eden. It was converted from a range of traditional buildings in 2007 by the current sellers.

It is an uncommonly well-presented house with a flexible flow of accommodation which works well as a cosy and comfortable family home with a luxurious principal bedroom suite with more striking reception rooms making it equally well equipped for entertaining. There are various well organised and invaluable outbuildings which have historically been used for the storage of farming equipment.

The Old Farmhouse is across the courtyard. It is a detached red brick building with three bedrooms and two reception rooms. It needs repair and modernisation and could work well for those who would like an additional income stream. It is restricted in planning terms to holiday accommodation.

Lot 1 of Low Baronwood Farm forms the main part of a productive residential farm extending to about 89.72acres (36.30 Ha) and includes a good mix of arable, pasture and woodland parcels along the riverbank. The main access is by the private drive from the public highway although a right of access to Lot 1 for agricultural machinery will be reserved across Lot 2.

Lot 2 is a parcel of about 22.4 acres (9.06 Ha) of good grade 3 arable land ideal for arable cropping. There is easy access from the public highway. Water is by a natural supply.

Lot 3 is an appealing block of about 52.97 acres (21.43 Ha) of productive woodland. The woodlands at Baronwood are located on the bank of the River Eden which forms part of the River Eden Special Area of Conservation and also forms part of the River Eden and Tributaries SSSI. There is also another small area of SSSI (Eden Gorge) to the southeast of the woods. The trees are growing in gently to moderately steep ground with some areas of very steep ground. Most of the land has been worked by forestry machinery. The aspect is northerly. Soils are generally fertile and support a range of productive conifer as well as mixed broadleaf crops. The soft wood elements have been regularly thinned and there remains a good amount of timber to be harvested in the next five to ten years. The main section of commercial trees has a well-formed forest road with direct access from the public road and has been regularly used for timber extraction. There are currently no forest felling licences in place and no outstanding grant scheme obligations. The broadleaf elements are principally amenity although good quantities of biomass will be available in the future.
The neighbouring estate has a right of access, though the sellers are not aware of this being exercised. The boundaries against the railway are maintained by the railway. The boundary with the neighbouring woodland owner to the south-east is not fenced. Where the woodland meets with the public highway, the drystone wall has been maintained by the seller.

Directions
From Carlisle, head south on the A6 and turn left for Armathwaite at the south end of High Hesket village. Take a right turn after about two miles and the drive to Low Baronwood is on the left.
