The Property
Tucked away in the heart of Tallentire, Midtown Farm is a characterful period property with generous attached barns, offering a rare combination of historic charm, versatile accommodation and exciting future potential. The house has been thoughtfully updated to create light, welcoming interiors, while retaining the texture and warmth of its original fabric.

The ground floor is arranged to balance everyday comfort with generous entertaining space. A wide L-shaped living room spans the depth of the house, its exposed beams and substantial stone fireplace framing an inviting wood-burning stove. This space flows naturally into a bright seating area, with French doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.

Across the hall, the dining room is a more formal setting, enhanced by period detailing and rustic beams, ideal for both family gatherings and dinner parties.

The kitchen has been styled with contemporary cabinetry, pale work surfaces and integrated appliances, softened by open shelving. A large window draws the garden into the room, while the adjacent utility offers practical space for laundry and storage alongside a boot room entrance.

Upstairs, four bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal suite is a highlight, combining generous proportions with a walk-through dressing room and a striking en-suite bathroom complete with twin vanity, walk-in rainfall shower and a deep, inset bath. The further bedrooms, two of which are doubles, are served by a stylish family bathroom featuring a claw-foot tub and separate shower.

Externally
The property is approached through a graveled courtyard with ample space for parking and direct access to the attached barn. The barn has been thoughtfully divided into three parts and presents scope for a variety of uses, from secure storage to conversion, subject to the necessary consents. To the rear, the garden is broad and private, edged with mature planting and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A stone-paved terrace extends from the house, while a timber decked area at the far end provides space for dining screened by planting for seclusion.

Local Information
Tallentire is a peaceful Cumbrian village close to the Lake District National Park. The village has a traditional public house and is within easy reach of local centres. The surrounding area is ideal for outdoor pursuits including walking, mountain climbing and rambling together with sailing and other water sports.
