Summary - OLD SCHOOL HOUSE CHURCH LANE TUNSTALL CARNFORTH LA6 2RQ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Immaculate Grade II Listed home with far-reaching Lune Valley views and versatile outbuildings.
Grade II Listed 17th-century former school with many original features
Old School House is a rare Grade II Listed former school and schoolhouse set in the heart of the Lune Valley, with panoramic views towards Ingleborough and the Barbon Fells. The main house dates from the 17th century and was sympathetically extended and refurbished in 1997. Rooms are generously proportioned, light filled and finished in a traditional style that preserves many original features such as exposed cruck timbers, beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces and oak lintels.
The ground floor layout centres on a triple-aspect sitting room with French doors onto a flagged terrace, a dining kitchen with a two-oven Aga, a snug/dining room and a practical utility. Upstairs are four double bedrooms including a principal bedroom with exposed timbers and an en suite, plus a boarded loft for substantial storage. The property is presented move-in ready and has been immaculately maintained by the current owners.
A significant asset is the row of stone and slate outbuildings (c.751 sq ft) with two garages, workshop, mezzanine storage and independent services. These spaces offer real potential to provide ancillary accommodation, home working or hobby use subject to Listed Building and planning consents. Walled, landscaped gardens wrap the house and a gravel drive with cattle grid provides excellent parking and turning.
Material considerations: the house is Grade II Listed which restricts alterations and may complicate conversions of the outbuildings — any works will need consent. Heating is via oil-fired systems (including the outbuildings’ independent boiler), so running costs and fuel logistics should be considered. The location is rural: mobile signal is average but broadband speeds are fast; the setting favours buyers seeking countryside tranquillity over urban convenience.
