Description: This grade II listed Westmorland farmhouse has the brilliant potential to be transformed into a beautiful property, perfect for a family looking to create a new home. Situated in an elevated position overlooking the tranquil Lyth Valley area, the farmhouse comes with the added benefit of 3 excellent sized barns, 1 piggery and an ample amount of land surrounding the property with planning permission for residential development. 

Location: Pleasantly located and just a few miles from the A590, it has easy access to Windermere, Kendal and other surrounding towns.

From Windermere proceed on New Road/Lake Road (A592) into Bowness, straight over the roundabout, bearing next left on to Kendal Road sign posted Lyth Valley. Continue on this road for approximately 8.5 miles, past the sign posted Crosthwaite and Mireside Farm is the second farm on the left hand side.  

Property Overview: An excellent traditional farm building with great potential for refurbishment and development for any keen developer!

There are an additional two barns to the west and east of the farmhouse, plus a detached Orchard on the opposite side of the access drive to a neighbouring property. Furthermore, there is land behind and to the north west of the farmhouse and buildings extending to approximately 4.85 acres. As it stands, the previous owner installed uPVC double glazing, which is contrary to the rules and regulations of a Grade II listed property therefore, will need re-glazing throughout.

The current owners approached the Lake District Planning Authority with regard to potential change of use of the buildings to residential. A favourable response was received, dated 17th August 2023 for alterations to farmhouse, conversion of the traditional barns into two houses subject to local occupancy conditions. Conversion of the piggery to home office and to knock down the brick built barn and create a 3 bay garage. Planning permission details can be found on the Lake District National Park Authorities website under 7/2023/5307.
