Midtown Farm is an appealing collection of properties in the centre of the village of Clifton comprising a house, barns, rental units and paddocks.

"In addition to all this undoubted potential," said Andrew Low, manager of selling agents H&H King, "a further source of income is provided by a detached workshop, in a private lane set apart from the main buildings, which has planning permission for a plot with a detached dwelling.

"There is a lot on offer here and in order for anyone interested to grasp its scale, they really need to come and take a good look round."

The property, which has excellent access links to Haweswater, Ullswater and the Lake District National Park, dates in part from the 18th century and the land and gardens stretch to more than an acre.

The traditional main farmhouse has three reception rooms with period features such as ceiling beams, deep sandstone fireplaces and sash windows, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Outside are generous gardens to the side and rear with extensive views and attached to the farmhouse is a self-contained, one-bedroom annexe - Midtown Flat - with its own access and interconnecting door.

The barns on the opposite side of the main house have been converted into a maisonette-style property with one bedroom and an additional, two-bedroomed cottage-style.

Andrew added: "Each of these is let on an assured shorthold tenancy and available with vacant possession if required and they generate a combined income of £1,300."

The farm has ample off-road parking to the front with a three-bay, open-fronted garage and archway leading to a rear courtyard where there are stone-built stores and workshops.

Beyond this is a workshop served by a private lane which has planning permission to change to a plot for a detached dwelling.
