Description

A HISTORIC FARMSTEAD WITH LAND, VIEWS, AND OPPORTUNITY

Dating back to 1627, Upper Lumb Farm is a remarkable Grade II listed semi-detached farmhouse set within approximately 31.81 acres of prime grazing land. South-facing, steeped in history, and enjoying panoramic views across the rolling hills of Cottonstones, the estate comprises the main farmhouse, a substantial stone barn with exciting conversion potential (subject to necessary planning consents), and a collection of fields and grounds that together create a rare lifestyle opportunity.

“You can imagine what it was like growing up here… it gave us the most idyllic childhood. We were always playing out in the fields with our friends, and our parents thrived on the community feel. It’s so peaceful and picturesque, with so much wildlife and incredible views. There really is nowhere quite like it.” - Scott Crabtree
