A traditional five-bedroom farmhouse set in approximately 13 acres of the national park, and with a substantial detached barn offering considerable residential and commercial possibilities, is now on the market.

The property benefits from a semi-rural position just outside the village of Holmrook within the Lake District National Park and enjoys breathtaking views across to the Eskdale Valley and Ravenglass Estuary.

The farmhouse itself has been much improved in recent years by the present owner to create a comfortable family home which briefly comprises entrance hallway, two reception rooms, formal dining room, sun room, dining kitchen, utility room, shower room and boot room to the ground floor. There are four bedrooms located on the first floor, two of which are en-suite with the master also having an impressive Juliet balcony. There is a fifth en-suite bedroom located in the eaves on the second floor, ideal for use as guest accommodation.

Adjacent to the farmhouse and included in the sale is a substantial stone built barn which has had previous planning permission for conversion into four holiday letting cottages. It is also suitable for a wide range of commercial uses. Interested parties should be aware that the planning permission has now lapsed and are advised to make their own enquiries with the local planning authority.

There is also a range of other agricultural outbuildings in addition to formal gardens and land totalling approximately 13 acres.

Thornflatt Farm, Carleton, Holmrook, is for sale at £650,000 with PFK, tel. 01946 695535.
