Description
At first glance, Orchard Farm House looks exactly as a proper village farmhouse should. Solid stone walls, classic proportions and in a prime position overlooking the green. But this isn’t just a postcard period property - it’s a practical family home that’s been thoughtfully updated for modern life.
Inside, old meets new in the best possible way.
Exposed brickwork and traditional details sit comfortably alongside sleek, contemporary finishes. The handleless kitchen-diner is a standout, with integrated Bosch appliances, white quartz worktops and a pebble grey units giving it a fresh, modern feel. There’s plenty of space for family catch-ups over coffee, and the adjoining sunroom leads straight out to the garden - perfect for warmer months.
Downstairs, there’s room for everyone to spread out. The large lounge and second reception room mean no more debates over what to watch on TV. There’s also a dining room for more formal get-togethers, plus a handy w/c and extra storage in the sunroom, just off the kitchen.
Upstairs, the layout works brilliantly for busy family life. Four double bedrooms mean no one’s drawing the short straw, and with both a shower room and a four-piece family bathroom, there should be no queues for the bathroom in the morning.
The garden is a real highlight. Despite being in the middle of the village it’s surprisingly secluded, with over 35 metres of lawn and views stretching across open fields all the way to the sea. There’s a choice of seating areas to choose from, whether you’re hosting friends, watching the kids play or just following the sun.
Then there’s the two stone built outbuildings. These aren’t your typical barns gathering dust - they’ve been cleverly repurposed into a games room and an office/workshop, giving you space to work, play or get stuck into a new project.
Allerby might feel like a sleepy village, but it’s surprisingly convenient as you’re only 2 minutes from the A596. From there, it’s less than 10 minutes to Maryport or Aspatria, and around 45 minutes to Carlisle if you’re after big-name shops and restaurants.
Closer to home, there’s a primary school and a proper village pub - the Stag Inn - in nearby Crosby.
And when you want to get out into nature, Bassenthwaite and the quieter side of the Lake District National Park are right on your doorstep.
So if you’ve been looking for a proper family farmhouse or want to enjoy an idyllic village life, this could be the one - with a few special extras you didn’t know you needed!
