A "remarkable" Grade II listed farmhouse is set to be auctioned to the public.

Howbarrow Farm, in Southern Lakeland, has been presented to the market by the Staveley branch of H&H Land & Estates.

Located in an untouched area overlooking the Cartmel Valley and Morecombe Bay, the property includes a five-bedroom family home, an apartment and separate cottage available for holiday let, stone-built stabling, a barn, and other outbuildings, all spread out on 8.72 acres of land.

It also has an allotment garden and orchard with a variety of fruits and vegetables.

H&H highlighted that the property benefits from investment in renewable energy generation.

An entertainment-area complete with a cinema room, bar, hot tub, and swimming pool is tucked away within the old stone barn structure.

Equestrian enthusiasts would enjoy the dressage arena and small cross-country course.

H&H's director, Mark Barrow, said: "Howbarrow Farm offers an extraordinary combination of accommodation and outbuildings, land and facilities in a secluded but easily accessible Lakeland location.

"It lends itself perfectly to a future as a small-holding, hobby farm, tourism business, or an idyllic family rural retreat, and it has fantastic potential for the new owner to take the property to a new level in any of these directions.

"Howbarrow Farm will without any doubt attract enormous interest from a wide range of buyers, and as always with a property of this quality, we recommend viewing at the earliest opportunity.”

Located just over a kilometre from the village of Cartmel at the end of a single-track road, the property boasts privacy and quiet.

Careful restoration by the current owners has retained key historic features like fireplaces, exposed beams, and stone-flagged floors.

The house and attached holiday let apartment are heated via a 36Kw condensing wood pellet boiler.

H&H will conduct the public auction at Cartmel Village hall on Friday, April 26 at 2.30pm.

The guide price is set at £750,000.

H&H predicts wide-ranging interest in the property, recommending an early viewing for interested parties.
