Description
TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION AT STONECROSS MANOR, KENDAL, LA9 5HP ON THURSDAY 10TH JULY 2025 AT 3.00PM
A unique opportunity to acquire a rural smallholding in an envious setting within the Lake District National Park and with views over the Howgill Fells.
This development opportunity includes a traditional farmhouse in need of full refurbishment, range of agricultural buildings and surrounding land extending to circa 26.93 acres [10.90 hectares]. Includes fell rights on Birbeck Common [CL0009]
Particulars
The traditional farmhouse presents an exciting opportunity for someone to make Whitebrow their home or a developer looking for a project within the Lake District National Park.
The house has not been occupied for some time and the vendors have commenced a full refurbishment but put hold to this due to ill-health. Please note there are no internal floors or walls and prospective buyers are recommended to book an internal viewing prior to the auction date.
Attached to the dwelling is a range of traditional buildings that offer future potential. The adjoining building retains its original cruck beams, and both the house and all associated building roofs have been fully restored. In addition, a modern steel portal framed shed has been erected under planning approval 07/0261.
The sellers have agreed to leave behind for the benefit of the successful buyer the yellow steel container and some Yorkshire board cladding which was intended for this building. There will be no warranty for the quantity or quality of this timber.
The smallholding is found in a ring-fenced block extending to circa 26.93 acres [10.90 hectares] of pasture and meadow land with an idyllic stream running across the periphery of the holding.
