Tatham, Lancaster, LA2

From the moment you step through the door, there is a sense of space and history. The welcoming entrance vestibule is a room in its own right, setting the tone for the generous accommodation that unfolds beyond. There are beautifully proportioned sitting and dining rooms, a quintessential farmhouse living kitchen designed for gathering and sharing, a practical utility room, dedicated home office, cloakroom and a charming vaulted cellar.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with its own ensuite shower room, complemented by two further bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. The second floor reveals a wonderfully versatile attic room — perfect as a potential fourth bedroom, inspiring studio, home office or gym — along with a spacious store room that offers exciting potential for future use.

The solid front door, framed by an ivy-clad porch, opens into the spacious vestibule — a wonderful introduction to the home. From here, stone steps lead down to the vaulted cellar, an atmospheric space that would make an exceptional wine store or pantry. With power already installed, it could easily accommodate additional appliances such as a drinks fridge or freezer.

The main sitting room is beautifully proportioned and wonderfully cosy, centred around a multi-fuel stove and enhanced by charming recessed niches. A second vestibule leads directly out to the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. The separate dining room is equally inviting, with its own wood-burning stove providing the perfect backdrop for family celebrations, relaxed weekend lunches and memorable evenings with friends.

At the heart of the home lies the farmhouse kitchen — a space designed for everyday living. The Aga naturally draws everyone in, offering warmth, practicality and unmistakable character. Whether cooking, gathering, chatting or simply enjoying a quiet moment, this is a room that effortlessly becomes the hub of the home. Bespoke cabinetry, beautifully painted and topped with stone worktops, completes the classic country aesthetic. Beyond the kitchen, the former granary has been thoughtfully converted to provide a practical utility room and cloakroom, with a dedicated home office above — ideal for modern working life.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes and a private ensuite, while its elevated position offers far-reaching countryside views to wake up to each morning. The second bedroom is another generous double, also benefiting from lovely views and built-in storage, while the third bedroom provides comfortable accommodation for family or guests. The family bathroom adds a touch of everyday indulgence, featuring a freestanding slipper bath, spacious shower, twin wash basins and underfloor heating — combining style with comfort.

The second floor adds further flexibility, with a characterful attic room that can adapt to changing needs over time. Whether used as a teenager’s retreat, creative studio, peaceful workspace or potential principal suite, it offers space to grow and evolve.

Across the seasons, the landscape transforms — fresh green leaves in spring, rich autumn colours, and the quiet beauty of snow-covered fields in winter. With no street lighting nearby, the night skies are wonderfully dark, revealing spectacular stars and a true sense of tranquillity. Arriving home feels special every time. The approach along the lane, lined with trees and wildflowers, sets the scene for the timeless charm that awaits.

Paths lead through different garden “rooms,” each offering a unique place to sit and take in the surroundings. A south-facing terrace creates a sheltered suntrap ideal for morning coffee, while lawns, planted borders and mature trees provide space for relaxation and play. The summer house is particularly enchanting — a peaceful retreat overlooking the garden and beyond. Whether used for reading, entertaining or simply unwinding, it offers a wonderful place to pause and enjoy the moment. With power installed, it could easily accommodate refreshments or small appliances for extended use. Elsewhere, a productive vegetable garden, fruit trees and wildlife-friendly planting bring both beauty and practicality, while the greenhouse and garden structures support year-round growing. Across the drive, the adjoining field offers endless possibilities — from keeping animals and growing produce to creating a play space for children or simply enjoying the freedom of open land.

More than just a house, Moorhead Farmhouse offers a way of life — one defined by space, character, connection to nature and the simple pleasure of coming home.
