Description: Broadoak Farm House is a traditional farmhouse, currently the heart of a working farm in the Lyth Valley near Crosthwaite. The property consists of 2 reception rooms on the ground floor along with a pantry, attached large single storey utility, farmhouse kitchen and cellar as well as boot room. Upstairs there are 5 bedrooms and a bathroom as well as a large attic space. The house is full of character and charm and encapsulates Lakeland rural living and is a fantastic opportunity to enhance to ones own taste.

The owners are in the process of moving the farm to another location in the valley. The working farmyard will be redeveloped. All the steel portal framed barns will be removed which will leave the farm house and 3 detached stone barns. These 3 barns have planning permission to develop into a 1 detached bungalow barn conversion and 2 pairs of very large semi detached houses all subject to occupancy restrictions. The nearest barn has been sold off privately and is being developed into a detached bungalow barn conversion by the current owners as their home.

The large two story barn nearest to the farm house is to be developed by the current owners of the farm house over the next 18 months to create 2 large semi detached houses. The furthest stone barn has planning to develop into 2 large 4-5 bedroomed semi detached houses and it is the owners' intention to sell to be developed independently. Once finished it will create a charming hamlet. Please see planning ref: 7/2018/5295. 

Location: The Lyth valley forms a landscape of unspoilt Lakeland countryside dotted with chocolate box farmhouses, woodlands and green rolling pastures with rocky outcrops. At its heart are the villages of Bowland Bridge, Crosthwaite and Underbarrow, connected by many routes that lead to Windermere, Bowness and Kendal.

From our Windermere office follow New Road leading to Lake Road and at Bowness take the Kendal Road (A5074) and follow it all the way, you will pass The Brown Horse pub on your left then keep on until you pass the Damson Dene Hotel on your left. Stay on the A5074, after which at the 3rd opportunity to turn right there is a junction with Mill Lane being the left turn, take the right turn onto just before the lane then follow it down until you see a wooden sign on the right saying Broad Oak. Turn in and Broadoak Farmhouse is the large Georgian style farmhouse on the left.
