A LAKE District hill farm has been placed on the market - and could be yours for £1.2m.
Cragg House Farm is a 187-acre, ring-fenced operation between Kendal and Windermere.
Located between Crook and Windermere, the business is a traditional Cumbrian Lake District farm with woodland, meadow, pasture and grazing land.
There is a traditional four-bedroom farmhouse, a separate modern house subject to agricultural occupancy, and an extensive range of traditional and modern farm buildings.
Cragg House is being offered for sale by public auction at Kendal Town Hall on Friday September 22, with a guide price of £1-£1.2m. Included in the auction are several parcels of Lake District land and a traditional field barn.
The lot comprises
- A three-acre paddock of productive grazing land, with sheep handling facilities, at Crosthwaite, with a guide price of £15-£20k
- A two-acre field conveniently located one mile from Windermere, with a guide of £20-£25k
- About five acres of agricultural meadow and grazing land next to Cartmel Racecourse to be offered in two lots with a guide of between £50k and £70k for the whole.
Agent Colin Tomlinson said: “A farm with this acreage, within the Lake District National Park, is a rarity.
"Cragg House Farm is an attractive farming unit, in a very desirable location, with stunning views. We therefore expect a strong demand.
"So far this year the land that we have taken to auction has sold very well. We have seen demand from all types of buyers, from neighbouring farmers to investors, as well as those looking for amenity and lifestyle properties."
