A Cumbrian farm is on the market for offers over £1.975 million.
Thorny Knowe, five miles from Longtown, north of Carlisle, has 276.83 acres of land, primarily mowing and grazing grassland, ringfenced around a recently refurbished three-bedroomed farmhouse and a range of farm buildings.
Thorny Knowe is for sale by private treaty as a whole with H&H Land & Estates.
H&H Land & Estates director, Thomas Armstrong said: “There is a very strong demand for productive grassland in this area, and many farmers and landowners are looking for just this kind of opportunity to extend their holdings.
“But this is also a complete livestock farm in its own right, perfect for an aspiring younger farmer or for a farming partnership, and very conveniently located so close to the agricultural hubs at Longtown and Carlisle.”
A significant proportion of the land is bounded by recently renewed stockproof fencing, and the property includes woodland, rivers and burns with great potential for Countryside Stewardship Schemes and the development of other sources of income.
Beyond the yard the farm buildings include two stone barns and modern livestock buildings, including a 15m x 22.5m five bay steel portal sheep shed and seven bay silage pit, seven bay steel portal lean-to and two 6.40m x 31.5m steel and concrete frame livestock holding sheds, a second silage pit and an 800,000-litre slurry tower.
Thorny Knowe can be viewed only by strict appointment with H&H Land & Estates.
