Set on about 10 acres on the edge of the Lake District, this 1882 detached house offers a rare country-living opportunity for a family seeking space and character. The house has four double bedrooms, three large reception rooms and generous ceiling heights that celebrate its period origins. Original fireplaces, sash windows and stone walls give robust character and scope for sympathetic restoration.
The extensive grounds include an orchard, pond, greenhouse and a cluster of stores, barns and outbuildings with conversion potential (subject to planning). The plot is a major asset for those wanting private outdoor space, small-scale hobby farming or potential ancillary accommodation in converted buildings.
The property needs a programme of renovation: upgrades, internal modernisation and likely insulation work are required. Heating is by electric storage radiators and the walls are assumed uninsulated sandstone/limestone — expect improvement costs. The EPC rating is F and a septic tank is present; the septic has not been surveyed and may need works to meet current regulations, which would be the purchaser’s responsibility.
Practical limitations include very slow broadband despite excellent mobile signal, and utilities are mains electricity and water with a septic sewage arrangement. For a family looking for long-term comfort and character in a secluded setting, this house rewards investment with substantial space, strong conversion potential and a truly rural lifestyle.
