Two farms in the Eden area are being sold by H&H Land and Estates, which says both properties offer buyers a wealth of potential.
Burblethwaite, a 115-acre upland farm four miles to the south west of Caldbeck with an extensive range of farm buildings and a history of successful stock rearing.
Burblethwaite is an upland stock rearing farm with common rights on Caldbeck Common, a range of traditional and modern farm buildings and a five-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse.
It is being sold as a whole or in three lots, with an overall guide price of £1.1 million.
Lot one consists of the farmhouse, steading and 43.74 acres of land, with a guide price of £700,000; lots two and three consist of 39.14 and 33.09 acres, with guide prices of £180,00 and £195,000; and loot four of common rights for 50 sheep, 13 cattle, six ponies and two horses, with a guide price of £20,000.
The land is registered for Basic Payment purposes, SDA and Moorland, and the entitlements are included in the sales.
The farmhouse has five bedrooms, while a hefted flock of Swaledale sheep is available for purchase through separate negotiations.
The other is the 166-acre Brow Foot Farm, four miles south of Appleby, which is said to offer a wealth of farming and diversification potential.
Brow Foot Farm includes 166.65 acres of land, an extensive range of traditional buildings, a detached four-bedroom farmhouse and a static caravan site.
It is being sold as a whole or in three lots, with an overall guide price of £1,625,000.
Lot one comprises the farmhouse, steading, land extending to 0.91 acres and the three static caravans, with a guide price of £525,000; lot two is 83.37 acres of high quality grazing land, with an outbuilding and timber framed barn, with a guide price of £530,000; and lot three consists of 83.15 acres of excellent quality mowing/grazing land, with a guide price of £570,000.
Brow Foot is said to offer a “time capsule” of well kept and immaculate traditional buildings, as well as more modern livestock housing.
The land itself is extremely fertile and suitable for mowing or grazing, and in recent years has been utilised for livestock.
Agent Thomas Armstrong said: “These are the first sizeable farms to come to the market with us this year and it is really exciting. There is a demand for farms from buyers from both within and outside the area as well as those who are hoping to extend their current acreages.
Both of Burblethwaite and Brow Foot Farms are ring-fenced farms, suitable for someone to immediately take over and start farming.
“We expect a high level of interest for both properties.”
