Low Leys Farm

A Historic Cumbrian Farmhouse on the Edge of the Lake District National Park

Set amidst rolling countryside on the fringe of the Lake District National Park, Low Leys Farm is a remarkable Grade II listed farmhouse dating back to 1580 — a home rich in heritage, character and timeless appeal.

Approached through peaceful rural surroundings, the property immediately conveys a sense of history and permanence. Lovingly renovated and carefully maintained, the house retains the architectural charm of its origins while offering the comfort and practicality expected of modern living. A comprehensive programme of refurbishment, including a new slate roof, ensures the home is both beautifully presented and well cared for.

Inside, Low Leys Farm offers generous and versatile accommodation extending to five spacious double bedrooms, two welcoming reception rooms, a dedicated home office and an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that forms the true heart of the home.

The kitchen perfectly captures the essence of country living, with bespoke solid timber cabinetry, oak work surfaces, a traditional Belfast sink and a striking double-width Range cooker. Exposed stonework and a characterful log-burning stove create a warm and atmospheric environment — an ideal space for family gatherings or relaxed evenings after a day exploring the surrounding fells.

A fascinating element of the property’s history is revealed in its layout. Originally two separate cottages, the house still retains two staircases along with a secondary kitchen, offering exceptional flexibility. Subject to any necessary consents, the property could once again be arranged as two dwellings, making it perfectly suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or a potential holiday letting opportunity.

Outside, the property sits within extensive wrap-around gardens, beautifully framed by mature trees and established planting. The setting provides both privacy and far-reaching countryside views, with the iconic fells of the Lake District visible from the grounds — a constant reminder that one of Britain’s most celebrated landscapes lies just moments away.

A significant addition to the property is the impressive pool house, constructed in 2011. This contemporary leisure building provides a superb private wellness space, centred around a six-and-a-half-metre swimming pool equipped with a Fastlane hydraulic current system, allowing for continuous swim training and exercise. A fully equipped gym area, sauna, and dedicated changing and shower facilities create a complete health and fitness retreat within the grounds. The building also incorporates a large double garage that is both heated and insulated, offering excellent space for storage, hobbies or workshop use.

Low Leys Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historic country home that successfully combines period charm, flexible accommodation and modern leisure facilities — all set within a spectacular rural environment.

Whether envisioned as a private family residence, a lifestyle retreat, or a property with income potential, Low Leys Farm offers a unique and inspiring way of life in one of Cumbria’s most sought-after landscapes.
