Description

This exceptional property enjoys a stunning rural setting with views over the adjoining National Trust owned Hardcastle Craggs and surrounding open countryside.

The farmhouse which currently provides three bedrooms benefits from listed building consent and planning permission to alter the existing layout to incorporate a fourth bedroom, ground floor bathroom and home office. The adjoining substantial stone barn with linked mistal and piggery provide further scope with potential to combine all the buildings to create a substantial single residence or perhaps to convert into income generating holiday cottages or annexe accommodation for extended family. Any change of use from the existing will be subject to planning permission and listed building consent.

The property stands in approximately 1.5 acres of land

Comprising a single paddock and extended grounds. There is an additional 5.2 acres of adjacent land which is available for sale separately if required.

The existing farmhouse accommodation includes on the ground floor a large dining room with wood burning stove. The approved scheme allows for the dining room to be knocked through into the adjacent smaller room to create an impressive open plan kitchen/dining room with separate store rooms off. The scheme also repositions the existing staircase and converts the two vaulted ceiling cellars into a second bathroom and home office. The cosy sitting room with wood burning stove will remain unchanged. The existing kitchen, w.c. and store room have permission under the approved scheme to provide a fourth bedroom or breakfast room depending on preference.

The first floor provides three double bedrooms the largest of which is open to the roof space creating a light airy feel. There is also a house bathroom. The repositioning of the staircase will create a central landing from which all the rooms can be individually accessed.
