Offers in Region of £600,000 4 bedroom detached house for sale Yearngill, Aspatria, CA7

Tenure: Freehold

This property presents a quite unique opportunity to purchase a stunning home that was once two mill workers cottages and now provides substantial accommodation full of character and charm.

Mill Fauld occupies an exceptional setting that has the mill stream meandering along the edge of the formal garden, the whole is enclosed and edged by mature woodland that extends to some 1.5 acres.

The accommodation is in keeping with its early origins, retaining beams, fireplaces and features that enhance the lovely outlook in this quiet unspoilt rural setting.

The ground floor has two lounges, dining room, kitchen and study with one of the lounges offering the potential for use as separate accommodation or a fifth bedroom. To the first floor are four bedrooms, three being double and a family bathroom.

Outside is a useful detached stone built bothey or workshop with its own multi fuel stove. Special mention must go to the fabulous, very private gardens with its sweeping lawn, inset flowering trees, 1920’s summer house and the idyllic mill race pathways that lead to the pond which is large enough to employ a rowing boat.

Available are two barns (one with planning permission) and a further paddock and woodland, making the property of interest to developers and those interested in horses.

We cannot recommend enough the need to view this property to appreciate its superb setting and further potential.
