BRISCO Bank Farm, in Whitehaven, a rural gem with panoramic North Sea views, is for sale by private treaty, either in separate lots or as a whole for £1,400,000.
The 67.95-acre property features traditional and modern farm buildings suitable for agricultural use. Perched on an elevated site, it overlooks the coastline and Scottish hills from the edge of the Lake District.
The main dwelling on the site is the original farm, the Steading. Framed by a tarmac entrance, the farmhouse extends to 0.53ha and includes traditional barns, a modern agricultural barn, and a concrete yard.
Would-be buyers should note Lot 3 will have a right of access over this drive onto the agricultural land.
The ground floor offers a porch and vestibule, main hallway, three west-facing public rooms with fireplace gas fires, as well as a kitchen equipped with an Aga stove.
Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, three with Irish Sea and Scottish hill views. The property also has a family bathroom on the first floor.
From the main hall, stairs lead down to two cellar rooms. There is an internal shower room, WC and wash hand basin on the external southern side of the house. The properties also come with a large west-facing lawn garden with road access.
The additional lots consist of grazing land, pastures, a quarry, and easily accessible land with water supply.
Lambhill Quarry, part of Lot 5, is estimated to have reserves of 57,000 tons of sandstone, with a planning permission limit of 5,000 tons per year, expiring on February 3, 2037.
Those interested in purchasing Brisco Bank Farm should be aware that the property has a freehold title and vacant possession will be granted on completion.
The land is registered for basic payment schemes and is being sold subject to a development clawback provision.
Additionally, the purchase of lot 5 brings with it the responsibility to erect a stock proof fence.
The farm also has potential for further development, whether by extending and developing the traditional farm house or planning for an additional dwelling development on the site.
The modern agricultural buildings and yard are also open to potential uses.
