The Property
Lowburn Farm and included outbuildings form part of a former Dales farmstead. The property was the subject of a restoration twelve years ago. It was stripped back to four walls. The roof, roof timbers and chimney stacks were replaced. The floor joists and internal timbers were replaced. The plumbing and electrics were fully renewed. The ground floor has stone floors. Connections to the sewer, mains water, electricity and telephone are new. Reclaimed materials were used where possible and many of the original features were kept when uncovered. A high level of installation was installed to the roof, outside walls and floor. Replacement windows are in a maintenance free PVC but sash style. The exterior of the house was repointed and has the benefit of heritage cast iron guttering. The boundary walls have all been rebuilt. The extensive works carried out should provide many years of low-cost enjoyment of the property.

A flagstone path leads through the garden to the front door and the entrance lobby with the reception rooms either side. These face south and have window seats. Both have exposed stone walls, flagstone floors and ceiling beams. The sitting room has a fixed oak dresser to the left of an inglenook fireplace housing a multifuel stove. The kitchen has a farmhouse feel with fixed seating allowing everyday dining and a modern energy efficient electric Aga. There is a utility room off the kitchen with space for white goods and this leads to a WC.

There are three double bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom has two fitted wardrobes. The en-suite features a freestanding roll-top bath. Also on this floor is a shower room with walk-in shower.

The second floor is approached via a door from the landing and up a bespoke oak staircase. The attic has exposed roof timbers and offers additional bedroom or living space.

Externally
The property boasts well-established gardens to the front, side, and rear, complemented by a recent addition of amenity land spanning approx. 0.32 acres (as of January 2025), bordered by a secure fenced perimeter. Lowburn Farm also features an extensive collection of versatile outbuildings, including a newly acquired barn attached to the expansive hay barn. These offer a wide range of potential uses and opportunities. The hay barn and the detached double garage have been fully refurbished including new floors, timbers and the joinery has been replaced. Both have light and power. Additionally, there is an adjacent area to the garage, where Lowburn Farm holds an easement for extra parking.
