A rare Grade II Listed Georgian house set on a very large plot in picturesque Temple Sowerby. High ceilings, original sash windows, ornate entrance hall and a sweeping staircase give an immediate sense of scale and period character. The house totals around 3,465 sq ft across generous reception rooms, a sunroom, utility, four double bedrooms and substantial attic/body spaces — ideal for family living and entertaining.
The gardens, carriageway driveway and distant Lake District fell views are standout assets. The rear lawn, patio, pond and vegetable patch create private outdoor rooms for family life and gardening; the sunroom and living room capture those views. Practical modern touches include a biomass pellet heating system and availability of ultrafast broadband, useful for home working.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II Listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate consent for structural or energy upgrades. The EPC is F and council tax is high, so running costs and any retrofit work should be budgeted for. The sunroom has no dedicated heating and some rooms retain original finishes that may need sympathetic maintenance or restoration.
This is a property for buyers who value historic character, space and location — families or owners wanting a countryside home with scope to manage sensitive repairs and appropriate upgrades. For anyone seeking a straightforward modern renovation project or major remodelling without restrictions, this listed house is not suitable.
