Location
Huntide Farm is situated in the village of Little Urswick, within the Westmorland and Furness district of Cumbria, England. Approximately 3.5 miles south of Ulverston, the farm is nestled in a region renowned for its picturesque landscapes and historical significance.
Educational Facilities:
For primary education, Urswick provides the Low Furness School, located centrally within the village. Secondary education options are available in Ulverston, Dalton and the nearby town of Barrow-in-Furness.
While Urswick itself is a tranquil village, it benefits from proximity to major transportation routes. The A590 road connects Ulverston to the M6 motorway, facilitating travel to other parts of the UK. Dalton in Furness and Ulverston Railway Station offers regular train services to Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness, providing access to broader rail networks. Bus services also operate between Urswick, Ulverston, and surrounding areas, ensuring connectivity for residents and visitors alike.
Outside
The property is complemented by a group of five traditional farm buildings, constructed from a mix of stone and steel, including barns, stables, shippons, and former cow stalls—each echoing the farm's longstanding agricultural heritage.
A large haybarn also stands on site, though its flooring requires repair. The buildings are thoughtfully positioned around a characterful cobbled yard, enhancing the sense of rural charm. Some of the outbuildings benefit from electrical connections, with a meter located in one of the upper lean-to stores within the large barn.
Once a thriving riding stables, livery yard, and riding school—last operational around 35 years ago—the site holds significant potential. While the buildings are now in need of restoration, they present a valuable opportunity for redevelopment, whether reinstated for equestrian use, adapted for smallholding purposes, or repurposed (subject to the necessary consents). Of particular note is the listed stone heritage circle situated in one of the adjoining fields, adding both historical depth and uniqueness to the property as well as a traditional limestone outhouse and beehive in the garden.
With vision and investment, these structures could be sensitively restored and reimagined to suit a range of modern needs, offering a rare chance to revitalise this distinctive rural holding.
