Low Leys Farm - A Historic Country Retreat on the Edge of the Lake District National Park

Steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty, Low Leys Farm is a remarkable, Grade II listed, former farmhouse dating back to 1580. Located on the peaceful outer

edge of the Lake District National Park, this unique property blends centuries-old charm with modern comfort, offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of the

most picturesque corners of the country.

From the moment you arrive, the character of the home is unmistakable. The property has been lovingly maintained and tastefully updated by the current owner, retaining original features that speak to its long history while accommodating the needs of contemporary living. The property has been completely renovated including a new slate roof.

Inside, you’ll find five spacious double bedrooms, an office space, two generous living rooms, and a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. The kitchen offers beautiful, bespoke solid wooden units with Oak worktop. A large Belfast sink and double width Stove cooker enhance the country kitchen charm.

With exposed stonework and a beautiful log-burning stove, this space serves as the warm, welcoming heart of the home. Originally two separate cottages, Low Leys Farm retains two staircases and includes a smaller secondary kitchen, making it ideally suited for conversion back into two dwellings if desired. This flexibility opens a wealth of possibilities — from multi-generational living to a holiday let or long-term rental investment.

Outside, the home is set within a substantial wraparound garden filled with mature trees and planting, offering space, seclusion, and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The fells of the Lake District are clearly visible from the property, reminding you just how close you are to the wild beauty of the national park — less than three miles away.

Adding to its appeal is a modern pool house, built in 2011. This separate building houses a six and half metre swimming pool fitted with a hydraulic current generator (fastlane by ) allowing for uninterrupted swim training or exercise against the flow of water. Alongside the pool is a dedicated gym area with sauna, complete with its own changing and shower facilities, creating a private health and wellness retreat right on your doorstep. A large double, heated, insulated garage is also incorporated into this building, offering excellent storage or workshop space.

Low Leys Farm is more than just a home — it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy historic charm, modern amenities, and stunning natural surroundings all in one. Whether you envision it as a peaceful family haven, a high-end holiday rental, or a flexible property for shared living, Low Leys Farm invites you to embrace a unique and inspiring way of life in the heart of Cumbria.
Location


Ideally situated, the property offers the best of both worlds. While the Lake District National Park lies just minutes away, offering endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and exploring the fells, the west Cumbrian coast is also within easy reach.

Here, you’ll discover some of Cumbria’s most beautiful and lesser-known sandy beaches — quiet, unspoilt stretches of coastline that feel like a hidden gem. Whether you're drawn to mountain adventures or peaceful days by the sea, Low Leys Farm places you at the gateway to some of the region’s finest landscapes.
