A smallholding – which agents say will give people the chance to experience the good life – is on the market for £775,000.
The Garth, near Appleby, features five bedrooms, stables, a riding arena, and around 2.2 acres of land.
It is for sale by private treaty through the Penrith office of H&H Land & Estates.
Kate Patrick, head of estate agency for H&H Land and Estates, said: “Properties such as The Garth are increasingly few and far between, and here in Cumbria we are seeing no decline in the number of purchasers looking for a change in lifestyle and to own a few acres.
“Recent times have shown more and more people looking for a work/lifestyle balance and this property ticks all those boxes.
“The Garth is a perfect property to meet the increasing demand of those wishing to work from home. They can enjoy the great outdoors combined with a contemporary living space. The equestrian facilities are extensive and have the potential to provide a range of alternative uses.”
The house has five double bedrooms, four of which have en suite shower rooms, a family bathroom and a 28ft reception dining room with bi-folding doors to the enclosed, raised terrace. It also includes a cinema room.
The farmhouse kitchen has an electrically converted Aga, powered by solar PV, which complements the biomass central heating system. Outside there is a Norwegian spruce log cabin which has a wood burning stove.
