Red Barn Farmhouse is a spacious, newly renovated three-bedroom stone farmhouse on the fringes of the Lake District National Park. The ground floor offers generous reception rooms with exposed beams, oak flooring and a feature fireplace; a bespoke oak kitchen with island; and a snug with French doors to a patio. The property benefits from underfloor heating on the ground floor and a new oil boiler (2024).
Set in a very large plot with well-maintained gardens, private parking and a double-height attached barn, the house suits a family seeking rural living or a buyer wanting conversion potential. The barn previously had planning permission but that has lapsed; further development would require fresh consents. The setting is private and rural yet within walking distance of Greystoke village amenities and good road access via the A66.
Important practical points: the property lies in an area identified as high flood risk and drains to a shared septic tank (shared with five neighbouring properties). Broadband speeds are very slow and the stone walls appear to be traditional construction without modern insulation. Council tax is above average. These factors are material for ongoing running costs and any future refurbishment plans.
Overall, this is a characterful, move-in-ready farmhouse with significant outdoor space and a barn offering realistic scope for added value, provided buyers take the flood risk, drainage arrangement and insulation into account when planning works or changes of use.
