A handsome three-bedroom period house with an attached barn sits on approximately 2.3 acres in the quiet village of Colby, close to Appleby-in-Westmorland. The setting includes river frontage with fishing rights, an orchard opposite, mature trees and landscaped gardens—a rare package for rural buyers wanting space and privacy.
Inside, original period proportions remain: high ceilings, sash-style windows and generous reception rooms plus a kitchen-diner and sunroom. The barn and garage add practical storage, hobby or small‑business potential. Excellent mobile signal and low local crime make the location practical as well as peaceful.
This is a property for buyers prepared to renovate. The house needs updating and likely improvements to heating and insulation—the walls are stone with no assumed insulation and heating is by electric storage heaters with a separate Rayburn stove. Services include mains water and electricity and a septic tank. There is a medium flood risk and the EPC is pending, so factor potential remedial and running-cost works into any offer.
Overall, the house offers significant long-term value from its size, riverside plot, barn and character features. It will suit a family or countryside buyer seeking a project with substantial outdoor amenity, or an investor looking for a rural rental/holiday conversion subject to consents and flood-risk considerations.
