An 100-acre hill farm in South Cumbria will go under the hammer next month.

Rawfold Farm is a traditional Lake District hill farm, with a classic stone and slate farmhouse, meadow and pasture land and planning consent to convert three traditional stone buildings into dwellings.

With views of the Duddon Valley, the farm is located only a few minutes’ drive from Broughton-in-Furness.

Rawfold Farm will be sold by public auction at the Victory Hall, Broughton-In-Furness, on Friday April 13 and ill be offered in four lots.

The sale is being handled by Michael CL Hodgson/H&H Land and Property and the overall guide price of £920,000 to £1,060,000.

Lot one comprises of the four-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and 1.60 acres of land in two paddocks.

The traditional farmhouse has many original features and the detached bothy offers ancillary accommodation.

Lot two is the three traditional stone and slate barns, with planning permission for three dwellings, subject to local occupancy.

Lot three is 31 acres of meadow and pasture land, adjacent to lots one and two and includes natural-spring water sources and a traditional stone and slate field barn.

Lot four is Rawfold Bank, about 67 acres of upland grazing and pasture land, including an amenity woodland.

Colin Tomlinson, director of Michael CL Hodgson, said: “Farms such as this coming onto the open market in this area are increasingly few and far between and as Rawfold offers such tremendous opportunities, we are expecting it to be highly sought-after.

"With the potential for someone to start farming by May this year, Rawfold is ideal for farmers looking to increase their acreage or people looking for investment as an, opportunity, or find a change of lifestyle.”
