Lot 1 - Blasterfield Farm – Farmhouse, buildings and land extending to approximately 36.50 acres (14.77ha). – Guide Price - &pound;360,000 <strong>Blasterfield farmhouse</strong> Blasterfield Farmhouse occupies a charming site set back from the public highway surrounded by its own land and comprises a former four bedroomed property set in its own land holding. The property is of a traditional stone construction under a slate roof occupying a delightful setting, in a secluded yet easily accessible location. The farmhouse has been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair over many years which has led to Westmorland & Furness Council (Previously Eden District Council) serving a prohibition order on the property. The house needs substantial renovation/rebuild to bring it up to modern standards. However, because of this, Blasterfield Farmhouse provides the opportunity for the purchaser to redevelop the property (subject to the relevant planning being obtained) and put their own personal stamp and ideas upon a site in a unique setting in a National Park. At this point Bruce Murray Land Agency would like to add that no one should enter Blasterfield Farmhouse unless they are attending one of the viewing days and are wearing the appropriate ppe and have signed the relevant safety documentation. Due to the level of renovation required viewing of the property is highly recommended. Blasterfield Farmhouse presently comprises: Ground floor - kitchen, living room, sitting room and pantry. First floor -four bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside: Accessed from a private stone track, the house has parking to the front with gardens to the side and rear. The gardens have been allowed to decline but could be renovated to provide recreational space to compliment the house. <strong>Farm buildings</strong> The farm buildings at Blasterfield lie to the north east of the farmhouse. The main farm building at Blasterfield is a storage shed and former byre of stone construction. The building has had a steel frame structure built inside the traditional stone walls which has provided a solid structure. The roof of the building is clad with box profile roof sheets and the building provides a good dry storage area. Other small storage buildings at Blasterfield have fallen into a state of disrepair but could be renovated to provide useful space. The barn at Blasterfield could be developed to provide more accommodation uses if the relevant planning permissions were sought by the potential purchasers. There are also some traditional sheep handling pens on site. <strong>The land</strong> The land in Lot 1 extends to 36.50 acre (14.77 ha) and surrounds the steading providing privacy and seclusion, this compliments the house and buildings.
