Woodhouse Farm is offered for sale as a whole or in up to six lots and will appeal to a wide range of purchasers, from those seeking a substantial family home with land, agricultural interests and adjoining landowners as well as developers looking to capitalise on the exciting planning consent for three residential conversions within the traditional stone barns. With its impressive 8-bedroom farmhouse, characterful outbuildings, and 76.55 acres (30.98ha) of productive land, the property offers outstanding scope.

The yard area includes an attractive range of traditional stone barns alongside a modern steel portal frame cubicle building. The traditional barns benefit from full planning consent (Application Reference 2024/1141/FPA) for conversion into three distinctive residential dwellings, complete with garaging facilities. This offers exciting potential for development, whether for family use, multi-generational living, or as investment opportunities.

The land forming Woodhouse Farm extends to 76.55 acres (30.98ha) of grassland and sits north and south of the farmstead, with multiple roadside access points from Woodhouse Lane, Viver Lane, Haverflatts Lane and Mabbin Hall Lane. The land offers productive grassland and is classified on the Agricultural Land Classification as being Grade 3. The land is well fenced and watered by either natural or mains water supplies.

Set in a superbly accessible South Lakeland location in the hamlet of Woodhouse, the location is just a short distance from the market town of Milnthorpe, with its range of everyday amenities and good access to the A6 leading north and south. The vibrant town of Kendal, known as the “Gateway to the Lake District,” is only a 15-minute drive away. Access to the M6 is situated only 3 miles east, at Crooklands making this an easily accessible holding.

The farmhouse itself is a substantial 8-bedroom property, set proudly within the farmstead with gardens to the front. Arranged over three floors, it offers generous and flexible accommodation that is now ready for modernisation.

There is a range of stone barns with the benefit of planning consent for conversion to 3 dwellings, together with a steel portal framed cubicle building with future planning potential, silage clamp and midden area.
