A South Cumbrian smallholding is up for sale with a price tag of £1.95 million.
Highfield Farm, eight miles south of Kendal, includes a four-bed farmhouse and almost 37 acres of meadowland.
It is for sale with the Staveley office of H&H Land & Estates as a whole or in two lots with a guide price of £1,950,000.
Mark Barrow, H&H Land & Estates director, said: “It is huge pleasure to be able to bring this wonderful and unparalleled property to the market. The setting is perfect and in the farmhouse the owners have combined the best of new build quality encapsulating the breath-taking views the elevated position provides.
“The land surrounding the house is in excellent heart, the buildings are discreetly separated from the farmhouse and offer huge potential, and Highfield Farm also manages to combine rural seclusion and privacy, with the convenience of local and national accessibility.”
Lot 1: Farmhouse, agricultural buildings and 21.91 acres of land with a guide price of £1,750,000
A turnkey construction completed in 2008, Highfield Farm farmhouse is clad in natural local stone. The house provides accommodation over two wings with a central spine of entertaining space.
The agricultural buildings are positioned around a hardcore yard, a convenient distance from the house, and can be accessed by a separate drive from the road.
They include two four-bay steel portal buildings, both clad in Yorkshire boarding, one under a double pitched roof and the other under a single pitched roof, both currently used principally for lambing.
A three-bay steel portal framed building with single pitch lean-to occupies the north side of the yard, and a three-bay block-built shed partially clad with stone under a slate roof includes one bay laid out as a workshop with an in-built vehicle inspection pit.
The land offered comprises seven parcels of good quality meadow surrounding the house and extending to a total of 21.03 acres in a ring-fenced block.
Lot 2: Three parcels of productive meadow land totalling 14.06 acres with a guide price of £200,000
