High Street, Kirkby Stephen, CA17

A Historic Farmhouse Reimagined for Modern Living - 4 bed, 3 bath, 3 reception rooms.

Believed to date back to the 1700s, this impressive former farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home that perfectly balances period character with the demands of contemporary living. With its two distinct facades—an imposing traditional frontage and a more modest, almost bungalow-like rear aspect—this unique property is full of surprises, set across three floors and boasting four bedrooms, three bathrooms a wealth of versatile living space and ample parking for several vehicles.

The ground floor welcomes you through a tiled entrance hall, giving access to the principal bedroom with dressing room and a stunning vaulted ensuite featuring exposed beams, stonework, and a freestanding slipper bath positioned beneath a Velux window for tranquil evenings under the stars. Also on this level are a further bedroom (currently a home office), a stylish four-piece family bathroom, a well-equipped utility room with adjoining boiler room, and excellent storage.

On the first floor, the heart of the home unfolds. A thoughtfully designed kitchen, complete with granite worktops, integrated appliances, and a Rangemaster range, flows seamlessly into the dining room—perfect for both family meals and entertaining. A spectacular living room spans the full depth of the property, with vaulted ceiling to one end, a wood-burning stove to the other, and French doors opening to the rear patio, creating an inviting retreat for every season.

The top floor is home to two further bedrooms, each with vaulted ceilings, original beams, some of which are uniquely shaped incorporating the original curvature of the beam, perhaps reflective of its previous use, and plenty of charm. Bedroom 3 offers a little more with additional space, ideal as a snug, with sloped ceiling and an opening through to a useful storage area. A well-appointed shower room completes the accommodation.

Externally, the home continues to impress. A substantial garage with remote door offers practical space, while beneath it lies a versatile room with endless potential—as a gym, games room, or creative studio. There is ample parking on offer for several vehicles and is complemented by the landscaped front garden providing kerb appeal, while to the rear a generous patio and expansive lawned garden deliver privacy and outdoor enjoyment in abundance.

Lovingly renovated with exceptional attention to detail, the property retains its character through exposed stonework, beams, and architectural quirks, complemented by modern finishes including oak doors and bespoke French blinds.

This is a home of timeless character, contemporary comfort and efficiency along with luxury touches —flexible, stylish, and welcoming— a perfect setting for family life in all its forms.
