Built in 1680 and Grade II-listed, this converted farmhouse blends historical character with forward-thinking sustainability. Mullioned windows, exposed beams and thick stone floors speak of the home's origins, while advanced heating, solar power and battery storage reflect a thoughtful, modern chapter. This is a rare place where time feels beautifully layered. A home created to feel both enduring and deeply welcoming.

Set above the Lune Valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the house looks towards uninterrupted countryside and a skyline that shifts gently through the seasons. The gardens enjoy a natural south-facing warmth, offering long views over farmland and woodland that stretch all the way to the river below. It is a quiet world of footpaths, wildlife, and fresh air, only moments from the M6 and fast railway links across the country. The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales lie close enough for spontaneous days out, yet here the sense of peace feels complete.

The hall opens into a pair of inviting living spaces. Stone flagged floors and original brick bring texture and authenticity to each room, softened by the glow of two impressive log burners. The atmosphere is calm and grounded, a place made for slow mornings, evenings by the fireside and family gatherings. Views pull the eye outward through each window, reminding you that you live surrounded by open countryside, not passing traffic.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, spilling naturally over two levels. Modern cabinetry and a gleaming Aga pair elegantly with the building's original fabric. It is easy to imagine the smell of baking, a pot simmering slowly on the Aga, or doors thrown open to the dining space and garden beyond. With a natural flow from the front of the house to the rear terrace, this is a kitchen that feels connected to the outdoors, ready for summer lunches or winter dinners. It is generous without being formal, crafted for everyday living.

Three bedrooms sit within the main house, each featuring exposed beams, deep windows and generous proportions. The principal bedroom offers remarkable scale, complete with original features and gorgeous panelling. A contemporary en-suite provides a luxurious contrast to the age of the building, with a walk-in shower framed by clean lines and natural tones. The spacious additional bedrooms, overlooking the gardens and countryside, make this home ideal for families or those wanting beautiful guest quarters for their visitors.

The family bathroom elevates this sense of rural luxury even further. A free-standing tub sits before a window that frames countryside views, allowing quiet moments to feel connected to the outdoors.

At the edge of the drive, two barns sit alongside the house. One remains a workshop with flexible potential for a gym, studio or conversion. The second has been fully transformed into a self-contained annexe, offering independent living across two beautifully finished levels.

Downstairs, a stylish bedroom with shuttered windows leads to a sleek en-suite bathroom. Upstairs opens into a private living area with a fitted kitchen, bookshelves and garden access. It is ideal for visiting family, grown-up children, or potential Airbnb income, without compromising the calm of the main house.

The gardens are a peaceful haven. A generous terrace enjoys day-long sunshine, making it a natural gathering point for meals or simply watching the light shift across the valley. Solar panels sit quietly at the rear, supported by battery storage and air source heating, dramatically reducing running costs and future-proofing the home.

Imagine warm summers on the terrace enjoying the views, with the added luxury of knowing the house is running almost entirely on solar energy. Even within a centuries-old building, the technology feels discreet and well considered. A home for the future, without losing any of its past.

A wood store, private gate to the road, planted borders and open lawn provide everything needed for both quiet enjoyment and low-maintenance living. With space for four cars on the driveway and no need for a garage, the outdoor areas have been planned with practicality in mind.

The village offers an active local hall with sports, Pilates and bowling, as well as woodland and riverside walks from the door. This tranquillity is paired with direct access to major transport routes, allowing effortless travel to cities, coastlines and national parks.

At Aughton Old Hall, you do not have to choose between seclusion and connection. You can step into the outdoors, reach a mainline station in minutes, and return home to silence.

Aughton Old Hall is more than a picturesque farmhouse. It is a place where history holds its value, modern sustainability supports daily life, and space feels generous without excess. Families seeking room to grow, professionals wanting calm between travels, or buyers desiring a multi-generational layout will all find something uniquely fitting here.

It is rare to find a seventeenth-century home that lives so easily in the present. At Aughton Old Hall, heritage and innovation have been brought elegantly together, creating a house that feels both deeply authentic and confidently future-ready. Here, life is quieter, warmer, and wonderfully connected to the landscape that surrounds it.

About AshdownJones, The Lakes and Lune Valley

1C Low Cleabarrow Business Centre Windermere Cumbria LA23 3FA

Hey,

Nice to 'meet' you! We're Sam Ashdown and Phil Jones, founders of AshdownJones - a bespoke estate agency specialising in selling unique homes in The Lake District and Lune Valley.

We love a challenge...

Over the last eighteen years we have helped sell over 1000 unique and special homes, all with their very own story to tell, all with their unique challenges.

Our distinctive property marketing services are not right for every home, but those clients we do help consistently sell quicker, and for a higher price.

If you have a unique home in The Lake District or The Dales, lets put some time in the diary to have a chat. Within an hour (or possibly two), you'll have a clear picture of how we could help you sell your home for the price you want, in the timescale you need. You may not be considering selling right now, and that's cool with us, having all the information will help you make the right decisions for you and your families.

After all, the right advice, at the right time, makes all the difference.

Selling property is what most estate agents do; changing people's lives takes longer, but it's what we at AshdownJones do. Moving house will change your life, and we want to be a part of that change, helping you every step of the way.

Let's have a chat over a cup of tea (preferably Yorkshire) and talk about what's best for you.

Sam, Phil and The AJ Team
