On the market as two lots or as a whole with H&H Land &Estates, of Staveley, Highfield Farm is on the market with a total guide price of £1,950,000.

This rural smallholding enjoys 360° panoramic views of Ingleborough, the Lake District Fells, and Yorkshire Dales and is set in almost 37 acres of meadowland.

The property, which stands in an elevated position, includes a four-bedroomed stone and slate home which was built in 2008, plus a variety of modern agricultural buildings with separate access.

These give the possibility of further agricultural use or development for equestrian or business purposes, subject to the necessary consents.

Lot one, priced at £1,750,000, includes the farmhouse, the agricultural buildings, and 21 acres of good quality meadow land.

Lot two, with a guide price of £200,000, comprises three parcels of productive meadow land totalling nearly 14.06 acres.

Located in the South Lakes countryside, Highfield Farm is eight miles south of Kendal and easily reached from the M6 and the West Coast Main Line.

The farmhouse is finished to an 'exceptionally high standard with handmade solid oak windows and door frames throughout.

The house provides accommodation over two wings, with a central spine of entertaining rooms which offer outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. As well as its four bedrooms, the property also has four bathrooms.

It benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, back-boiler heated by wood-burning stove located in the dining room, oil fired Worcester boiler and a solid fuel fired Rayburn.

It is approached via a private driveway, lined with native trees and has a double-garage, and a hardstanding providing ample parking. To the rear and side of the property lies a lawned garden and patio area.

A ha-ha offers unbroken views towards the Yorkshire Dales Fells.

The separate agricultural buildings can be accessed from a separate drive and are positioned around a hardcore yard, away from the farmhouse.

They include multiple steel portal buildings, currently used for lambing, and a shed partially decked out as a workshop inclusive of a built-in vehicle inspection pit.

Highfield Farm is a mile from Ackenthwaite hamlet, 1.5 miles north east of Milnthorpe village, three miles from M6 and within reachable distance to Oxenholme station for easy mainland access to London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.

H&H Land & Estates director Mark Barrow said: “The setting is perfect and in the farmhouse the owners have combined the best of new build quality encapsulating the breath-taking views the elevated position provides.
