Summary - GAWTHWAITE FARMHOUSE GAWTHWAITE ULVERSTON LA12 8EU
3 bed 3 bath Detached
Large 1870s farmhouse with extensive grounds, period charm and renovation potential.
3.5 acres of grounds with pond, orchards, outbuildings and spectacular fell views
A substantial detached farmhouse on an impressive 3.5-acre plot, Gawthwaite Farmhouse offers traditional character, far-reaching fell views and flexible living space for family life or small-scale rural enterprise. The well-proportioned ground floor includes a sitting room with a large wood-burning stove, dining room, breakfast kitchen and study; the lower-ground converted cellar provides gym/ancillary space and could become independent living. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, an attic with good volume and scope for further conversion.
The plot is a major strength: established lawns, two fruit orchards, pond, multiple outbuildings, a Lapland BBQ house and hot-tub building, plus a large double garage and driveway parking. Construction circa 1870 includes sturdy granite walls and many exposed beams and original floors that will appeal to buyers seeking period character and substantial outdoor amenity.
Buyers should note practical and running-cost considerations. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators and double glazing is fitted, but the fabric likely lacks modern insulation; EPC rating is F. Services include mains electric and water with a septic tank. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average — important for home working. The house is well presented in parts but the roof, outbuildings or some finishes may need ongoing maintenance or sympathetic upgrading.
This property suits a family wanting rural space and character, a buyer seeking renovation potential, or someone needing equestrian/hobby farmland. It offers privacy, views and substantial scope, but factor in upgrade costs, energy efficiency work and limited digital connectivity when considering purchase.
