Summary - Moorguards, West Hall CA8 2BP
4 bed 3 bath House
Traditional stone farmhouse with barn and 6.5 acres — great rural potential, needs modernisation.
Detached four-bedroom stone farmhouse with expansive panoramic views
Set within approximately 6.5 acres, this detached four-bedroom stone farmhouse blends traditional character with wide open countryside and far-reaching views. Large reception rooms, a spacious kitchen-diner with a wood-burning stove, and generous bedrooms make it well suited to family life or buyers seeking a rural retreat. The property includes a substantial barn and former stable block, plus additional stables and formal gardens, offering useful outbuildings and scope for hobby farming or workspace.
Practicalities include mains electricity, water from a spring, and drainage to a septic tank; heating is via an air-source heat pump with radiators (electric-based). The house is of historic construction (pre-1900) with granite/whinstone walls likely uninsulated, so buyers should expect energy upgrades and general maintenance to modernise heating and insulation. An EPC is pending.
Location is peaceful and remote, with very low local crime, excellent mobile signal but very slow broadband — important for those who work from home. Flood risk is medium and the site is a hamlet/isolated dwelling, so accessibility, services and insurance costs should be considered. The nearby villages and Brampton provide schools and amenities within a short drive.
This is a characterful, substantial property for purchasers who value land, privacy and rural views and who are prepared to invest in fabric and services to improve energy performance and connectivity. The barn/stables and large plot deliver clear potential but also responsibility for upkeep and planning considerations.
