A TRADITIONAL farmhouse with land, outbuildings and cottage has come onto the market at Killington, three miles from Sedbergh.

Agents Michael CL Hodgson say Bowersyke Farm would be ideal for anyone "seeking a country retreat with possible earning potential" from holiday lettings.

The guide price is £799,000 for the six-bedroom, 18th century farmhouse, two-bedroom barn conversion, detached barn, gardens, land and woodland, extending to just over three acres.

Graham Iles of Michael CL Hodgson, said: “Bowersyke Farm is a real gem of a property, located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and only a stone's throw from the Lake District.

"This is an ideal home and location for anyone who is looking for life in the country. The attached two-bedroomed cottage is perfect for further income and the detached stone barn has excellent potential for a variety of uses."

The farmhouse has four reception rooms and a conservatory, and the agents say the adjoining cottage "offers the potential for considerable income generation as a holiday let".
