Oak Bank Farm

A life-changing opportunity could be yours – complete with Cumbria’s biggest colony of red squirrels – for £1.15m.

Oak Bank Farm near Kirkby Stephen is on the market and agents H&H Land and Estates, said the 127-acre livestock farm, which also includes tourism accommodation and protected woodland, was a slice of paradise.

H&H Land & Estates director Thomas Armstrong said: “This is an outstandingly versatile property, in a magnificent part of Cumbria.

“The quality and variety of land, accommodation, and potential that Oak Bank Farm offers gives this wonderful property enormous appeal to the widest spectrum of buyers.

“This is a life-changing opportunity to buy a working Cumbrian stock farm, or to develop a rural business that will change you way of life, or simply to take a stake in the preservation of your own piece of native Cumbrian paradise.

“The current owners are making it possible for all these outcomes to be fulfilled, and on top of all its attractions Oak Bank has the overwhelming appeal of those enchanting red squirrels.”

Oak Bank Farm is both a commercial farming enterprise and a stunning rural retreat.

The 77 acres of upland grazing land include areas of ancient woodland and a slate-roofed stone field shelter.

The mature native woodland running down to the Belah River are protected within the Belah Woods and Pastures SSSI, and provide a safe haven for the iconic red squirrels and for an abundance of Cumbria’s rarest flora and fauna.

The traditional three-bedroom Cumbrian stone-built farmhouse has been fully refurbished and attached to the farmhouse and to the neighbouring property is a self-contained annexe.

The sale also includes the detached Bluebell Cottage close to the farmhouse, converted in 2021 from a former garage and store to create an open plan kitchen and living area across the ground floor and two double bedrooms with shower room above.

The cottage is currently restricted to AirBnB and holiday rental, and permission has also been granted for three glamping pods.

Oak Bank Farm is offered for sale as a whole or in three lots with an overall guide price of £1.15m.
