The Property 

A superb lifestyle property situated in magnificent countryside including a traditional Cumbrian farmhouse, three beautiful holiday cottages and a fantastic barn conversion containing three superb apartments all set in around 17.86 acres of land. The property is currently being operated as a successful business, providing a wealth of opportunities to relax in style or explore the idyllic surrounds.  

The Farmhouse 

The Farmhouse is a traditional Cumbrian hill farm nestled in the glorious Cumbrian countryside of the south-western Lakes. Beautifully renovated, the farmhouse features memorable touches such as exposed beams, slate and wood flooring and striking fireplaces. 

The inviting open plan sitting room/kitchen is at the heart of the property, offering a spacious yet cosy and relaxing hub. The hand-built kitchen benefits from a range of appliances, including a range cooker, combi microwave/oven/grill, fridge/freezer and dishwasher along with a Belfast sink and a central island with ample space for casual dining. The utility room provides further convenience and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, whilst the dining room is perfect for more formal entertaining. A lovely snug is the perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful evening. 

There are four bedrooms all appointed in classic and graceful fashion. Two bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, whilst the other two are served by a family bathroom.

An outdoor spa hot tub, complete with massage jets and feature lighting, is positioned to make the most of the remarkable views towards the sea, along with a luxurious barrel sauna.

The Byre 

The Byre is a converted bank barn configured as a perfect getaway for couples. The ground floor accommodation comprises an open plan sitting room/kitchen. To the first floor is the bedroom and bathroom, with views across local forest. There is access out on to the upper decked area which has a private hot tub.

The Stables 

The Stables has been developed from a former stable block to create a charming and tranquil retreat. To the ground floor is the kitchen and a double bedroom with en-suite facilities. The sitting room is positioned on the first floor to capture the wonderful views over the Duddon Estuary. Externally, the Stables benefits from a generous decked area with a private hot tub.

The Cottage 

The Cottage is a spacious two-storey barn conversion, finished to the same exacting standards as the rest of the properties. There is a sitting room and a kitchen/dining room to the ground floor, with two bedrooms to the first floor, each with en-suite shower rooms. An enclosed decked area features a private hot tub.

The Barn

The substantial barn has been converted with great attention to detail to create apartments that are perfect for modern requirements, with open plan living and all bedrooms benefitting from en-suite facilities. There is a separate games room which could continue to be used for this purpose or an inviting communal dining area.

The three flats are all very well-appointed and have been finished with simple, elegant décor that adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The hand-built kitchens are fitted with a range of appliances. The ground floor flat is fully furnished, so the fitted kitchen appliances comprise induction hob, oven, combination microwave oven and cooker hood, along with a fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The first and second floor flats each have an induction hob, combination microwave oven and cooker hood. All of the bathrooms in the apartments have beautiful contemporary suites.

There is wooden laminate flooring in the ground floor flat, and wood-effect luxury vinyl tile flooring in the first and second floor flats to reduce noise. The ground floor and first floor flats both have their own decked areas with non-slip flooring and electrics in place for a hot tub. These areas are perfect to enjoy the pretty surroundings. The first floor and second floor flats each have a Juliette balcony which affords them excellent views of the Duddon Estuary and the Irish Sea.

Each of the properties has access to parking.

Externally 

The property is set in 17.86 acres of farmland with spectacular views down to the Irish Sea and the Duddon Estuary. The land is predominantly grazing and a local farmer currently grazes sheep on it.

Each of the properties has access to parking.

Local Information

The property is well-positioned for exploring this beautiful area. The driveway to the properties continues as a footpath into the Whicham Valley towards the 600-metre high Black Combe. The adjacent Millom Park is perfect for woodland walks and the secluded beaches at Haverigg and Silecroft are within a few minutes’ drive, as is the Hodbarrow RSPB reserve and the historic market town of Broughton-in-Furness, with its Georgian market square.

Nearby, there are pretty drives to the Duddon Valley (that inspired Wordsworth to write 34 sonnets!), Corney Fell and Coniston Water. To the north, the coast road takes you to the coastal section of the Lake District National Park, Muncaster Castle, “La’al Ratty” steam railway, the former Roman port of Ravenglass, and picturesque Eskdale and Wasdale (home to Scafell Pike). Heading east, you’ll find the market town of Ulverston, the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, the Medieval village of Cartmel and, from Lakeside, boat cruises on Windermere.

For schooling there is both primary and secondary schooling available in Millom, along with a nursery. There are train links from Millom just a short drive from High Lowscales, with local trains to Lancaster, and onward to all national centres.
