Heaning Farmhouse is a Grade II listed Lakeland cottage dating to 1681, set within the Lake District National Park and offering far-reaching valley and fell views. The house combines original period features — exposed beams, deep window sills and stone fireplaces — with practical upgrades such as double glazing, solar panels and an EV charger. The sizable, landscaped gardens with terraced seating, a koi pond and a natural stream make this a tranquil family retreat a short drive from Windermere, Kendal and Staveley.
Accommodation is generous and flexible: the main house provides multiple reception rooms and four double bedrooms, while a self-contained annexe offers a sitting room, bedroom, shower room and workshop — useful for guests, older children or home-working. The substantial kitchen connects to a shower room and utility area, helping everyday family flow. Off-street driveway parking for two vehicles adds convenience in this rural setting.
Buyers should be clear-eyed about responsibilities and running costs. The property has listed status, which will limit alterations and can complicate repair works. Services include mains electricity, oil central heating (noted elsewhere as electric room heaters), shared septic tank and solar panels; confirm the heating system and service arrangements before committing. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the building’s age may require ongoing maintenance typical of historic properties.
This home will suit families seeking character, outdoor life and flexible living space rather than buyers wanting a modern, low-maintenance turnkey house. For those who value history and landscape, the farmhouse offers a rare chance to live in a cared-for period property within easy reach of local schools and amenities.
