Grove Foot Farm, a picturesque 43.76 acre smallholding and caravan park in the Lake District National Park, has gone on sale for £1,200,000.

The best caravan parks provide an idyllic and picturesque setting, and that’s certainly something this stunning site would offer.

Found in Thackthwaite in Cumbria, the smallholding includes a CL registered touring caravan site with room for five tourers, a site with six static caravans, a three bedroom farmhouse and outbuildings.

The traditional stone-built farmhouse (pictured below) includes an established garden that has a family of red squirrels in residence.

As well as this, there are also buildings extending on both sides of the house, which have the potential to become holiday lets or could be used for extending the farmhouse, with the correct permissions.

Former dairy buildings could be used for either farming or equestrian pursuits too.

The property is on the market with H&H Land & Estates.

Commenting on the sale of the Lake District caravan park, Emma Smith, Chartered Surveyor at H&H Land & Estates said: “This is a ring-fenced smallholding offering real potential for a variety of purposes and would be ideal for a hobby farmer or equestrian. Its use as a holiday destination could also be further developed, particularly as it has outbuildings ripe for conversion and is in such a popular and picturesque part of the Lake District. I am sure we will see hot competition for this highly desirable property.”
