Hodge Hall Farm is five miles from Windermere and easily accessible from both Kendal and Newby Bridge.
Originally a farm building, the bungalow is subject to an agricultural occupancy condition.
“We are very excited about this property,” enthused Helena White, chartered surveyor with H&H Land & Estates.
“It is in a beautiful situation and has enormous potential for a diverse number of uses, including agriculture or perhaps tourism.
“With more people wanting the benefits of outdoor space and country life, it will no doubt attract a wide range of purchasers, particularly as it is in the Lake District National Park. I am sure the town hall will be packed come auction day!”
Lot 2 is a range of traditional and more modern farm buildings, included within these is a traditional stone farm building, believed to be built in 1904.
Along the northern boundary of the farmyard are a selection of further buildings providing storage space, including a detached garage, an adjoining concrete block lean-to and a wooden framed structure. Subject to gaining the necessary planning consents, these buildings offer a huge commercial opportunity.
Lots 3, 4 and 5 consist of various parcels of undulating meadow and pastureland mostly divided by traditional stone walls, with the River Winster running through providing a natural water supply. There are also some areas of amenity woodland.
