Claybottom Farm is a delightful four-bedroom 16th century cottage right in the heart of the Lake District National Park — and it's now on the market for £1.1 million.

With equestrian facilities, 12-acres of sprawling land, outbuildings, beautiful grounds and superb Caldbeck fell views, it really is as lovely as it sounds.

Inside, it feels stripped-back and simple. There are stone walls, crackling fireplaces, a rustic kitchen (we've got our eye on the vibrant blue AGA), a glass greenhouse for growing your own produce and Laura Ashley-style striped sofas. There's enough space for a family of four, plus plenty of animals to roam freely outside.

The interiors have been lovingly-restored here. Light floods the main living room space, while the dining room opens onto a tiled patio. Elsewhere in the home, there are three spacious reception rooms, two luxurious bathrooms and four double bedrooms (one of which has its own additional annexe).

The outside space is a haven for wildlife. Whether you love to horse ride, bird watch or simply enjoy the views through your kitchen window with a coffee, the gardens at Claybottom Farm are definitely worth making a fuss about.

The farm is located in the northern Lake District National Park near to the picturesque villages of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket. From riding to hiking, you'll never get bored in a place this pretty.

Plus, there is also a traditional stone two-storey barn with stores, a tackroom and two timber stables with rubber matting to the rear. It's perfect for keen horse riders.

Claybottom Farm is currently on the market with a guide price of £1,100,000 with Fine & Country North Lakes and Eden Valley via OnTheMarket.
