Summary - GROFFA CRAGG FARM GAWTHWAITE ULVERSTON LA12 7TA
6 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious family home with panoramic country and Lakeland views.
Six bedrooms plus one-bedroom self-contained annexe
Groffa Cragg Farm is a substantial stone-built farmhouse dating from 1880, set in an elevated rural hamlet with panoramic Lakeland and Morecambe Bay views. The main house offers six bedrooms plus a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, generous reception rooms and a basement games room — well suited to multigenerational living or families who need flexible space. Original period features blend with sympathetic modern updates, creating a warm, characterful home.
The grounds are a major asset: a very large plot with a sweeping gravel driveway, extensive lawn, terrace and outbuildings that present clear scope for conversion or practical storage. The layout already supports separation between the main house and annex, useful for guests, carers or rental income. Practical services include mains electric and water, oil-fired central heating and private drainage; mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical points: broadband is recorded as very slow despite listed "fast internet" availability, and heating relies on an oil system. The property sits in a remote, agricultural community so daily commutes and some services require planning. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. These are balanced by very low local crime, strong school options within driving distance, and easy access to Ulverston (around ten minutes by car).
Overall this is a character-rich farmhouse for buyers seeking privacy, space and scenic vistas with room to personalise. The house and outbuildings offer renovation potential and flexible living arrangements, but buyers should factor in fuel type, drainage arrangements, broadband limitations and higher council tax when assessing running costs.
