Howbarrow Farm offers a fantastic opportunity to own a small rural estate with a farmhouse, self-contained apartment, cottage, equestrian and leisure facilities, all set in almost 11.5 acres.

This interesting package is located in an elevated position near the desirable village of Cartmel, overlooking picturesque Cartmel Valley and with views of Cartmel Sands and Morecambe Bay.

Howbarrow Farm consists of a large and characterful farmhouse which is Grade II-listed and retains a wealth of original details.

Its converted attic, which has visible cruck frame beams, is operated as a successful holiday let with its own external access.

The main steading is surrounded by a ring-fenced block of good-quality grazing and meadow land while the grounds feature vegetable allotments, polytunnels, an orchard, ,a recently renovated one-bedroom cottage and range of traditional outbuildings.

These currently house leisure facilities including a hot tub and swimming pool although planning permission is in place for further residential conversion.

The current owners are keen on riding and have created a small cross-country course with connecting jumps in the grounds.

The drained ménage is 20m x 40m and was resurfaced three years ago with a sand/carpet mix. It is stoned and drained underneath.

Howbarrow Farm, Cartmel, Grange-over-Sands, is for sale at £1.195m from H&H Land and Property, tel. 01539 721375.
