Ubarrow Hall in Lonsleddale Valley which inspired Postman Pat's Greendale on the market

Ubarrow Hall, located in Longsleddale Valley, and only five miles from Kendal, includes a detached, grade II listed, 15th century Pele Tower, integrated with a 17th century farmhouse, to provide flexible four-bedroom accommodation, a large traditional stone barn, additional outbuildings and pastureland extending to approximately 17.45 acres.

The small holding is being sold by private treaty through the Kendal office of H&H Land & Estates, with a guide price of £975,000.

Colin Tomlinson, Managing Director with H&H Land & Estates, said: “Lake District properties with this much charm and history rarely come to the market; add to that 17 acres of pasture and meadow land, as well as several outbuilding, this is a property which we would anticipate attracting considerable interest.

“The farmhouse is absolutely charming and comes with a vibrant history, the 15th century Pele Tower is understood to be one of the oldest buildings in the Longlesddale Valley. Pele Towers were originally built for defence purposes and as watchtowers.

“Thankfully, they are no longer needed for their original intent, and Ubarrow Hall’s Pele Tower, has been cleverly repurposed to provide further accommodation space.”

Ubarrow Hall Farmhouse and Pele Tower have been well maintained and is surrounded by a mature cottage garden.  The house and Pele Tower each retain many original features including stone floors, vaulted basement, oak beams and floors, and of course many other nooks and crannies.

The land, split across seven fields, is all pastureland, suitable for livestock grazing. There is an extensive range of traditional buildings including cattle barns and cold store, pig sheds and general barns. The property’s main barn has been recently re-roofed and refloored.

H&H Land & Estates encourage prospective buyers to book a viewing of the property strictly by appointment.
