Set high above the Holme Valley, Far Mount Farm is a substantially renovated traditional stone farmhouse offering about 4,000 sq ft of flexible family accommodation and commanding rural views. The house sits within approximately 13 acres of well-kept pasture with a further 22 acres available separately, making it suitable for equestrian, smallholding or amenity uses. The layout includes generous reception rooms, a large open-plan breakfast kitchen and well-appointed principal suite with twin dressing rooms.
The property blends period character—exposed beams, carved stone fireplace and arched barn windows—with contemporary fittings such as bespoke kitchen cabinetry, granite worktops, modern lighting, alarm and external lighting. Practical outbuildings include a modern steel-framed agricultural barn and a concrete stable yard with four stables, tack room and grooming bay. Off-street parking and landscaped gardens with patios provide private outdoor entertaining space.
Important practical points: heating is LPG-fed boiler with radiators, drainage is by septic tank, and broadband is reported very slow despite fibre to cabinet in the area. The stone walls are original with assumed limited insulation; the house was built before 1900. Council tax is described as expensive and part of the additional 22 acres is offered only by separate negotiation. Any conversion of agricultural buildings would be subject to planning consents.
This home will suit large households seeking space, multigenerational living or an owner with equestrian or smallholding interests. It offers immediate move-in standard living areas after recent renovation, but buyers should budget for ongoing rural running costs, potential upgrading of wall insulation, and independent surveys for services and drainage before purchase.
