The farmhouse dates back to 1810, and the cottage to 1698.

According to H&H Land and Estates, the property has not been openly marketed since 1914.

Mark Barrow, associate director at the property agency, said a considerable amount of interest was to be expected.

“Last up for sale more than a century ago, this is a good-sized and high-quality farm offering productive meadowland and excellent grazing," he added.

"Notable farms offering good acreages and charming potential such as this coming onto the open market in this part of the Lake District are increasingly few and far between.”
