This smallholding in the Longsleddale Valley – the inspiration for Postman Pat’s Greendale – could be yours for £975,000.
Ubarrow Hall, a 17th century farmhouse and original 15th century pele tower, plus 17 acres of land and a range of traditional buildings is for sale with H&H Land & Estates.
Five miles from Kendal, the smallholding has four-bedroom accommodation, a large traditional stone barn, additional outbuildings and pasture land extending to around 17.45 acres.
Colin Tomlinson, managing director with H&H Land & Estates, said: “Lake District properties with this much charm and history rarely come to the market; add to that 17 acres of pasture and meadow land, as well as several outbuilding, this is a property which we would anticipate attracting considerable interest.
“The farmhouse is absolutely charming and comes with a vibrant history, the 15th century pele tower is understood to be one of the oldest buildings in the Longlesddale Valley.
“Pele towers were originally built for defence purposes and as watchtowers. Thankfully, they are no longer needed for their original intent, and Ubarrow Hall’s pele tower has been cleverly repurposed to provide further accommodation space.”
The house and pele tower each retain many original features including stone floors, vaulted basement, oak beams and floors, and of course many other nooks and crannies.
The land, split across seven fields, is all pastureland, suitable for livestock grazing.
There is an extensive range of traditional buildings including cattle barns and cold store, pig sheds and general barns. The property’s main barn has been recently re-roofed and refloored.
