Detached powered garage plus ample driveway parking

Set on the Dales Way on the northern fringe of Kendal, this spacious detached farmhouse combines traditional character with practical family living. The property offers five bedrooms (four doubles and one single), a ground-floor main bedroom with en-suite, and generous living spaces including a first-floor lounge with a multi-fuel stove and far-reaching countryside views.
The house sits within substantial, well-maintained grounds that include lawns, paved patio seating, a vegetable/fruit plot and a private well. A light sunroom opens onto the rear garden, while a detached powered garage and ample driveway parking provide useful vehicle space. The home benefits from fast B4RN fibre and excellent mobile signal, making remote working viable from the sizable ground-floor study.
Important practical points: the property is a pre-1900 granite-built farmhouse with no known wall insulation and an EPC rating of F. Heating is by oil boiler and radiators, and services include private water and septic tank. Council tax is high (Band G). These factors mean running costs and potential retrofit work should be considered by buyers.
This home will suit buyers seeking rural living and space for gardens and outdoor pursuits, families wanting a ground-floor main bedroom, or those wanting a character property with scope for energy improvements. The location delivers stunning countryside access and easy routes to Kendal, the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, but the remoter hamlet setting means some amenities are a short drive away.
