A C17 century farmhouse and barns located in rural North Cumbria. The barn conversion will provide residential accommodation for clients and a creative retreat for visitors.
Situated in its own grounds next to an ancient beck and woodland. The farm is mentioned in early records of the area. As well as being a working farm it was a land drain manufacturer. A water wheel in the beck used to pump water to local fields and farms including a private cinema in a henhouse a mile away.
