Description

A rare to market opportunity to acquire a characterful traditional farmstead complete with approximately 3.5 acres of land and a range of adjoining and detached outbuildings.

Occupying a commanding elevated position with breathtaking views overlooking the highly sought-after Lowther Valley and Knipe Scar, this property sits in the Lake District National Park.

This is an exceptional opportunity for those with vision and ambition seeking a wonderful renovation project. The three bedroom detached farmhouse, while in need of full renovation, offers tremendous potential to create a stunning family home in one of Cumbria's most desirable rural locations. The adjoining barns present exciting possibilities and, subject to the relevant planning consents, could be converted to extend the family living space, creating a truly expansive and unique property.

Alternatively, Woodfoot Farm is perfect for those seeking a smallholding, with the outbuildings providing excellent facilities for storage or livestock. The combination of land and buildings offers remarkable flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyle aspirations.

The property enjoys a standalone position just on the edge of the villages of Helton, Askham, and Bampton, offering both privacy and accessibility. From every room at the front of the property, residents will enjoy wonderful panoramic views across the valley, with the land extending to approximately 3.5 acres predominantly to the front, with a small amount to the rear. An enclosed garden provides immediate private outdoor space.

Accommodation
The farmhouse itself comprises versatile and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors:
• Kitchen
• Lounge
• Dining Room
• Three Bedrooms
• Bathroom

Location
The location of Woodfoot Farm is highly desirable, combining the tranquility of rural living with convenient access to local villages and the natural beauty of the Lake District National Park. Sitting on the edge of Helton, Askham, and Bampton, the property benefits from a peaceful setting whilst remaining within easy reach of local amenities and services.
The elevated position affords spectacular views across the Lowther Valley, creating a stunning backdrop for everyday living. This is a location that epitomises the very best of Cumbrian countryside living, offering an idyllic retreat whilst maintaining excellent connectivity to the wider Lake District and beyond.

Land & Outbuildings
The property is complemented by approximately 3.5 acres of land, predominantly situated to the front of the farmhouse. The land provides ample space for a variety of uses, whether for leisure, smallholding activities, or the keeping of livestock.
A number of adjoining traditional and modern, detached outbuildings accompany the main farmhouse, offering exceptional versatility. These buildings could serve as storage facilities, workshops, or livestock housing. Subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents, there is also potential to convert these barns to create additional living accommodation, significantly extending the footprint of the family home and adding substantial value to the property.

Unique Opportunity
Woodfoot Farm presents a wonderful opportunity for a new buyer to put their own stamp on a characterful property and create a home which will be cherished by their family for many years to come. Whether you envision a lovingly restored traditional farmhouse, an extended family residence incorporating the converted barns, or a working smallholding with all the necessary facilities, this property provides the perfect blank canvas.
The combination of a highly desirable location, spectacular views, generous land, and versatile outbuildings makes Woodfoot Farm an exceptionally rare find. Properties of this nature, offering such potential and positioned in such a sought-after setting, seldom become available on the open market.
This is more than just a renovation project; it is an opportunity to create a lasting family legacy in one of the Lake District's most beautiful and peaceful locations. The potential here is limited only by imagination, making Woodfoot Farm a truly exciting prospect for the right buyer.

Viewing
Given the rare nature of this opportunity and the exceptional potential offered by Woodfoot Farm, we strongly recommend viewing at the earliest opportunity. Only by visiting the property can one truly appreciate its commanding position, spectacular views, and the exciting possibilities that await.
