Set on the peaceful Lune Valley edge, Moss House Farmhouse is a substantial four-bedroom period property offering generous rooms, character features and a huge south-facing garden. The house is well-proportioned and light throughout, with exposed beams, stone fireplaces, a garden room and a recently refitted contemporary bathroom. Detached double garage, workshop and extensive parking complete the practical picture for family life and hobbies.
The house is sold as a refurbishment project: many original features remain but modernisation is required to bring heating, electrics and finishes fully up to current standards. Heating is mixed (partial gas boiler behind a living-room fire and some electric wall heaters), glazing is double but install date is unknown, and cavity walls are likely to be uninsulated. Drainage is via a shared septic tank in a neighbouring field — buyers should factor this into maintenance planning.
The location is a major draw: quiet, accessible rural position just outside Wennington with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, very low crime and convenient rail access on the Bentham Line. Approximately 45 acres of land are available by separate negotiation and adjacent barns with planning permission to convert are being marketed separately — useful options for buyers seeking equestrian, smallholding or development potential (enquiries advised). Practical amenities include large garden space suitable for landscaping, play areas or kitchen garden, plus substantial outbuildings and workshop mezzanine storage.
This property will suit a family seeking a characterful country home with scope to personalise, or a buyer looking to add value through sympathetic refurbishment. Be mindful of the work required to modernise services, insulation and drainage; the house is being sold as seen and offers a blank canvas with excellent long-term potential in a desirable rural setting.
