It has three bedrooms, a kitchen, a utility room, a sitting room, a dining room, and a bathroom.
David Slack, head of Northern Estates and Farm Agency at Strutt & Parker, said: “Fellside Farm is a remarkable property combining an idyllic location with exciting opportunities for development and diversification.
“The planning permission already in place allows the new owner to capitalise on this exceptional opportunity to create a tourism business in one of the world’s most celebrated landscapes while enjoying the benefits of owning a large and versatile holding in one of the UK’s most sought-after regions.”
Planning permission was granted by the Lake District National Park planning authority in June 2021 to convert these buildings into tourist accommodations.
The 211 acres of land are 159.79 acres of productive pastureland/permanent grassland, 9.28 acres of woodland/rough grazing land, and 42.82 acres of allotment land.
The listing says: “The land is hilly in nature and classified by DEFRA as being of Grade 4/5 status and according to the Soil Survey of England and Wales the soil is of the Brickfield 2 Series which is a slowly permeable and seasonally waterlogged fine loam over clay which is best suited to the production of grassland, forestry and rough grazing for livestock production.
“The land is undulating and rises up from the village of Mosser at the northern boundary to the moorland line at the southern boundary from which spectacular views are enjoyed over the Solway Firth to the north and the Cumbrian mountains to the south.”
Celebrated for its breathtaking beauty and rich cultural history, the Lake District has inspired poets, writers, and artists for centuries, including William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, and JMW Turner.
Its global appeal attracts millions of visitors each year, making this an unparalleled opportunity to develop a tourism enterprise in a region renowned for its natural and cultural significance.
