A rare opportunity to purchase a self-contained small holding with an original Pele Tower, located in the Lake District’s spectacular and unspoilt Longsleddale Valley, the inspiration for Greendale in Postman Pat.
H&H Land & Estates bring to market this superb property comprising a charming 17th century farmhouse and original 15th century Pele Tower, 17 acres of land and a range of traditional buildings. This is Ubarrow Hall, located in Longsleddale Valley in Cumbria’s Lake District National Park, the valley being the real-life inspiration behind the popular children’s character, Postman Pat’s fictional home of Greendale.
Only five miles from Kendal, this beautiful small holding includes a detached, grade II listed, 15th century Pele Tower, integrated with a 17th century farmhouse, to provide flexible four-bedroom accommodation, a large traditional stone barn, additional outbuildings and pastureland extending to approximately 17.45 acres.
Ubarrow Hall is being sold by Private treaty through the Kendal office of H&H Land and property, with a guide price of £975,000,
This is a ring – fenced lifestyle or equestrian property which also offers opportunity for home working, peace and tranquillity and the potential for alternative use or development subject to the necessary permissions and consents.
In giving further background information, Colin Tomlinson, Managing Director with H&H Land & Estates, tells us:
Lake District properties with this much charm and history rarely come to the market; add to that 17 acres of pasture and meadow land, as well as several outbuilding, this is a property which we would anticipate attracting considerable interest.”
“The farmhouse is absolutely charming and comes with a vibrant history, the 15th century Pele Tower is understood to be one of the oldest buildings in the Longlesddale Valley. Pele Towers were originally built for defence purposes and as watchtowers. Thankfully, they are no longer needed for their original intent, and Ubarrow Hall’s Pele Tower, has been cleverly repurposed to provide further accommodation space.
Ubarrow Hall Farmhouse and Pele Tower has been very well cared for and maintained and is surrounded by a delightful mature cottage garden. The House and Pele tower each retain many original features including stone floors, vaulted basement, oak beams and floors, and of course many other nooks and crannies.
The land, split across seven fields, is all pastureland, suitable for livestock grazing. There is an extensive range of traditional buildings including cattle barns and cold store, pig sheds and general barns. The property’s main barn has been recently re-roofed and refloored.
