A handsome 17th-century farmhouse, Castley Bank sits on a substantial 1.25-acre plot and has been recently restored to combine period character with modern comforts. The house offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and approximately 4,024 sq ft of living space across multiple reception rooms — ideal for family life and entertaining. Two attached stone barns provide practical storage, workshop potential or scope for ancillary use (subject to consents).
The interior retains abundant original features — exposed beams, panelled walls, flagstone and oak details — while benefiting from a full rewire, bespoke German electric radiators, USB points and fast B4RN broadband. A bright garden room with vaulted beamed ceiling and a well-equipped kitchen create a comfortable hub that opens directly to formal terraces and lawns.
Practical considerations are clear: the property lies in a remote hamlet with just one neighbour, around 10 miles from Kendal and a short drive to the M6. Drainage is private and flood risk is assessed as medium. Tenure has not been specified. These points are important for buyers used to rural services and for anyone planning changes to the property or grounds.
This is a family-focused country home for those who prioritise space, privacy and character with modern upgrades already in place. It will particularly suit buyers seeking a large garden, room for hobbies or small-scale livestock and strong digital connectivity despite the remoter setting.
