Step back in time with this substantial and character filled property, believed to date back to the 1800s.

Set across three floors, this well proportioned home seamlessly combines historic charm with comfort, offering versatile living spaces for a range of lifestyles. Inside, an entrance vestibule leads into a welcoming living room, complete with a wood burning stove - perfect for those chilly evenings. The heart of the home is the kitchen, largely comprising freestanding units and offering ample dining space to entertain or enjoy family meals.

To the first floor, there are two generously sized double bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom, and to the second floor, there are three additional rooms leading off a landing. One is currently utilised as a craft/hobby room and could be a third bedroom, while the other two (Attic Room 1 and Attic Room 2) feature vaulted ceilings and front aspect windows with fabulous views, providing flexible options. Please note that Attic Room 1 and Attic Room 2 have doors with restricted head height, and we believe these rooms will not be compliant with current building regulations. Purchasers are invited to conduct their own investigations to fully satisfy themselves.

Outside the driveway offers offroad parking and leads to a large detached garage with workshop rooms to the rear - ideal for hobbies or additional storage. Two useful outhouses, one with a WC and plumbing for a washing machine, add convenience. The picturesque, established garden is a haven for wildlife, also enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Despite the location of the property being in close proximity to the A66, the majestic Pennines can be seen from the rear of the property and sweeping views of the Lakeland Fells can be enjoyed from the front, with Blencathra visible from the upper floors. Lovingly maintained by its current owner for over 21 years, this remarkable home is ready to welcome its next chapter.
