Low Leys Farm is a striking Grade II listed farmhouse dating from 1580, recently renovated with a new slate roof while retaining strong period character—exposed beams, stonework and original fireplaces. The house offers five double bedrooms, two sizable reception rooms and a large open-plan kitchen-living space with bespoke oak units and a wood-burning stove, providing an authentic country home with modern comforts.
Set on a large wraparound garden with mature planting and uninterrupted views of the surrounding fells, the property sits on the edge of the Lake District National Park (under three miles away). A separate modern pool house (2011) contains a six-and-a-half-metre swim unit with a hydraulic current generator, gym, sauna and changing/shower facilities, plus a heated, insulated double garage—ideal for leisure use, rentals or private fitness.
The layout is especially flexible: originally two cottages, the house retains dual staircases and a secondary kitchen, making it practicable to occupy as a single family home, two dwellings, or a holiday-let/multi-generational arrangement. The large plot, parking courtyard and quiet hamlet location suit buyers seeking privacy and countryside living with coastal and fells access.
Important practical notes: the property is listed, which will complicate changes and may restrict alterations; there is a septic tank for drainage; main heating uses LPG via boiler and radiators (not a communal supply); broadband in this area is very slow; the current EPC rating is E. These factors affect running costs and future works, so buyers should budget accordingly and check listed-building consent requirements.
