Little Corby Hall Farm offers the dream opportunity to restore a magnificent Georgian farmhouse surrounded by 20 acres of high quality land just a stone’s throw from Carlisle.
H&H Land & Estates is delighted to be able to offer buyers a remarkable opportunity to purchase Little Corby Hall Farm, a four-bedroom Georgian farmhouse, offering considerable restoration potential. Surrounded by 20 acres of highly productive grass and grazing land and with extensive farm buildings, Little Corby Hall Farm is located close to the M6 and the A69 five miles from Carlilse.
Originally designed and partially completed in 1708, the imposing red sandstone house stands at the end of an historic driveway and creates the perfect blank canvas for restoration into a magnificent manor house home. The house already provides a well presented and exceptional 4 bedroom family home, however due to the adjoining unfinished east wing to the property offers huge potential for further restoration. With a full range of traditional and modern farm and stock buildings, and 19.72 acres of ringfenced grassland available, Little Corby Hall Farm meets all the criteria for creating a superb rural family home, or subject to planning consents for the development of a rural or equestrian business. The location near to the A69 and the M6 provides an excellent location to establish and grow a business from.
This historic property is being offered through the Carlisle office of H&H Land & Estates as a whole or in two lots with an overall guide price of £750,000:
• Lot 1, with a guide price of £500,000, includes the Georgian farmhouse, farm buildings, the garden and surroundings, and 1.18 acres of grassland in 2 paddocks. Extending in total to 3.24 acres
• Lot 2, offered at a guide of £250,000, includes a total of 18.51 acres of high quality agricultural land, split into 2 field enclosures, currently down to grass, but offering arable cropping potential.
H&H Land & Estates Associate Director, Jonathan Hird, describes Little Corby Hall Farm as a perfect example of a property with real potential: “The farmhouse was first developed on a grand scale more than 300 years ago, and it has all the hallmarks of Georgian grandeur, with large rooms and high ceilings, cornicing and fireplaces. But nearly half of this beautifully proportioned house is still unfinished, so the buyers will have the pleasure of completing it to their own standards and specifications, subject to obtaining the relevant permissions.”
The productive grazing, mowing and cropping land is very high-quality land, ringfenced the fields have stock-proof boundaries which are a mixture of hedgerows and post wire fences. With the grassland and the extensive steading behind the house including traditional stone barns and modern steel framed stock housing, Jonathan expects that the property will attract interest specifically as it offers a wide spectrum of potential business uses.
“The land and buildings will certainly attract farming buyers, and the house and land together offer an ideal opportunity for those looking for a rural lifestyle and the chance to create a wonderful historic home. The combination of the house, the land and the buildings give this property the widest possibilities for business development in a perfect location with fantastic transport links.”
The extensive range of traditional and modern outbuildings including a workshop, machinery shed, store lean-to, livestock shed with slats and a former machinery shed. There are further traditional stone outbuildings and more modern outbuildings behind the orchard and the house.
Full of charm and history, the four bedroom farmhouse is part sandstone, part brick built, with a slate roof covering. The east wing of the house remains currently unfinished as a dwelling and offers significant scope to extend and enhance the accommodation.
“This is an intriguing property,” concludes Jonathan. “The house, the land and the buildings are all of a high standard of quality, and this wonderful piece of history is just waiting for the right buyer to breathe new life into it again.”
