An 'idyllic' rural property comprised of an expanded five-bedroom stone farmhouse and adjacent grounds, perfect for an equestrian lifestyle, is now on the market.

Newbiggin Farm, marketed by H&H Land & Estates, centres around a stone and slate farmhouse.

Believed to be 300 years old, this farmhouse has been 'lovingly' refurbished and extended into the adjoining barn, resulting in a spacious five-bedroom family residence.

The charming dwelling, near Carnforth, is settled in more than 5.5 acres of mature gardens complete with a paddock and orchard.

Newbiggin Farm unfolds further, presenting a 'popular' architect-designed two-bedroom holiday cottage, a stable and tack-room block.

A detached garage, currently being used as kennels, and a variety of other outbuildings are also part of the package.

Newbiggin Farm is 'sheltered and secluded' in the lee of Farleton Knott, with 'wonderful' views of the open countryside.

The farmhouse and cottage are accessed via the stonewalled country lanes that lead to the village of Hutton Roof, which is just a stone's throw away.

Historic Kirkby Lonsdale is five miles away offering shops, schools and other facilities.

H&H Land & Estates director, Rachel Bagshaw, said: "The current owners have made the farmhouse into a wonderful family home in a glorious but convenient location, and there is the potential to increase the accommodation even more, with the appropriate consents.

"The stabling and paddock make the property perfect for equestrian buyers, the holiday let is already generating a significant income, and the additional buildings in this sale may offer further potential to extend the holiday let business, subject to permissions."

The farmhouse has retained traditional aspects like exposed beams, stone fireplaces and flagged floors.

The downstairs area features a large, fitted kitchen and dining space, with a separate lounge and sitting room, garden room, study room, utility, and WC.

A total of five bedrooms are located upstairs; four of them being double bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom, while the master suite has an ensuite shower room and WC.

Part of the converted barn has been retained as a workshop and storage area, which may offer potential for conversion.

There are timber stables located south of the farm that has three looseboxes, a tack room, and concrete yard, and all have separate access from the lane.

The two-bedroom holiday cottage, included within the sale, boasts a kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a wood-burning stove.

Bi-fold doors open onto a patio with views towards the Hutton Roof Nature Reserve.

One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor whilst the second has been created on a mezzanine level.

The farmhouse is circled by lawned gardens, with herbaceous borders and an orchard to the south.

The sale includes a grass paddock which extends to more than 4.5 acres, currently entered into a Countryside Stewardship scheme.

Additional land, available separately, consists of up to 72 acres in a number of separate blocks all within close proximity to Newbiggin Farm.
