The Farmhouse built in 1741 and that date is burnt into the beam above the main front door has fabulous views down the Lorton valley and forms part of 3 beautiful self catering holiday cottages which reside in an idyllic hillside setting and boast panoramic views of Lorton Valley. The Farmhouse makes an excellent base for wonderful walks and is located just 20 minutes walk from the peaceful Cumbrian village of High Lorton which is only 4 miles away from Cockermouth.
The Farmhouse is a stunning 4 bedroom character property that sleeps up to 9 and retains many of its original features with oak beamed ceilings and some even with their original meat hooks still intact!
