DESCRIPTION
Lanerton Farm is an equipped productive grassland farm in a private and picturesque location. The farm includes a four bedroom listed farmhouse and an extensive range of traditional and modern buildings arranged around a concrete and hardcore yard, the farmland surrounds the property to the north undulating and interspersed with mature trees. The farmstead is beautifully positioned by the River Irthing.
The farm is focused on a suckler herd and sheep flock and equipped with significant infrastructure to accommodate. There is also a range of traditional farm buildings currently used for livestock, which would be suited to further diversification or conversion (subject to consents).
In all, the farm extends to about 178.92 acres (72.41 hectares) of ring fenced productive rolling grassland, divided by shelter belts, fences and well maintained walls and hedgerows. The farm access track through the centre gives access to the majority of land parcels and creates an impressive approach to the farmstead.

Lanerton Farmhouse sits at the southern tip of the farm is south facing with lawned garden and sheltered by mature trees on the southern flank. The Grade II traditional stone built farmhouse with slate roof extends to over 1,870 sq ft (173 sq m). arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes kitchen, dining room, sitting room with log burner and utility.
The first floor comprises four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property has a biomass heating system and double glazed windows.

Across the farmyard is a further range of stone built stables and workshops, again with potential for alternative uses.
FARM BUILDINGS
North of the farmhouse is an extensive range of both modern and traditional farm buildings set around a concrete farmyard providing livestock housing and storage.
Directly north and west of the farmhouse is an L shaped range of traditional stone buildings of mainly single height under slate roofs, currently predominantly used for storage and workshops. The modern farm buildings adjoin and interlink, these buildings are quite typical and mainly constructed of steel portal frames, Yorkshire boarding and fibre cement roofs, there is also an above ground steel slurry store.
