Set on a huge private plot in the hamlet of Warcop, this detached five-bedroom farmhouse offers classic period character and far-reaching countryside views. The home’s roomy layout includes three reception rooms, a farmhouse-style dining kitchen with pantry, utility and a ground-floor shower room — flexible space for family life and home working.
The wrap-around mature gardens and gated driveway lead to a detached garage/workshop and substantial stone outbuildings formerly used as barns. Those outbuildings present clear potential for conversion or renovation (subject to planning) for additional living space, an annexe or hobbies. Broadband is fast, and the plot’s rural position provides peace and privacy.
Practical points: the property is traditionally constructed in sandstone/limestone with no assumed wall insulation and is heated by an oil-fired boiler. Double glazing has been fitted (post-2002). The house will suit buyers prepared to update thermal efficiency and modernise parts of the interior to their taste — the building’s age (pre-1900) brings charm but also typical maintenance responsibilities.
This is a strong proposition for a family seeking a rural retreat with scope to personalise and expand, or for buyers aiming to add value through sympathetic renovation. Local primary and secondary schools are nearby and the hamlet location offers country living with good digital connectivity, while transport and amenities are limited by the remoter setting.
