For sale: fabulous farmhouse on the doorstep of the Dales with cottage, equestrian facilities and glamping site

When Lia Martinucci first viewed Green Lane Farm, near Richmond, she knew it was ‘the one’. It offered everything she wanted, which included a large home, stables for the family’s horses and, last but not least, income generating potential.

“It fulfilled all those dreams and more,” says Lia, a former interior designer who bought the property 16 years ago.

The location could not be better. The property is a mile from the village of Hudswell and is just three miles from the sought-after town of Richmond, which has a wealth of amenities.

The position has been a huge boon for the glamping and holiday let business that Lia launched.

She says: “The property had been a riding school which suited me really well as it had the stables I wanted and it gave Barnaby an amazing childhood. He was on the show jumping circuit and he loved all the countryside has to offer including snow boarding in fields and throwing himself down waterfalls. He is 23 now and is very outdoorsy and adventurous as a result.”

She is selling up to spend more time in Majorca, where her mother, daughter and grandchildren live.

"I will be sad to leave but I will do so with many happy memories of Green Lane Farm. It’s an amazing place that offers so many opportunities. It could be purely a family home but it can also generate an income for those who want a live-work home.
