This exquisite 4 bedroomed detached farmhouse is set within beautifully landscaped gardens, providing a serene and private sanctuary with breathtaking views of the surrounding fells and open fields. The property also benefits from owning the field immediately behind, amounting to 1.91 acres and 1.7 acres of woodland which could be suitable for providing self catering holiday accommodation units subject to planning. You can also find additional gated parking for approximately 4 to 5 cars.

The gardens which surround the property are well kept and have an abundance of shrubs, borders and trees, leading onto an orchard. The rear garden has been nurtured by the current owners and is ablaze with colour in the spring and summer months. A useful outbuilding sits in the garden and is used by the current owners as a workshop/store but with the usual planning consent could possibly be extended and used as an annexe, office or gym with an outside seating space.
