Summary - SYKE SIDE HOUSE SOULBY KIRKBY STEPHEN CA17 4PJ
5 bed 2 bath Farm House
Spacious 5‑bed Victorian farmhouse with orchard, woodland and strong rural potential.
Approximately 2.86 acres: gardens, orchard, vegetable beds, polytunnel, woodland
Syke Side House is an impressive early-Victorian farmhouse (circa 1850) set in approximately 2.86 acres of landscaped grounds, orchard, productive vegetable beds and newly planted woodland. The house retains strong period character — high ceilings, sash windows, original flagstones, fireplaces and thick stone walls — while offering flexible family accommodation across three floors and about 3,294 sq ft of space.
The property will appeal to buyers seeking rural seclusion with easy access to Kirkby Stephen and the Eden Valley. Principal living rooms with wood‑burning stoves, a farmhouse kitchen with a four‑oven Aga, a cellar, library and multiple home‑working rooms give scope for family life, guest accommodation or hobby uses. Outside offers clear revenue or leisure potential: polytunnel, orchard, a three‑bay outbuilding and woodland with water and electricity already in place (suitable for glamping or shepherd‑hut projects subject to consents).
Buyers should note several material points: the listing records a high flood risk for the area, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is above average (Band E). Heating details in the information are inconsistent (references to ground‑source/underfloor electric and to an oil‑fired central system and oil Aga) — prospective purchasers must verify the installed systems and fuel arrangements. The EPC rating is E.
Overall, this is a substantial character farmhouse in a private agricultural setting with strong lifestyle and small‑business potential, but it requires informed due diligence on heating, flood risk, services and any works needed to improve energy efficiency or broadband connectivity.
