Lyndene, Shap

Located on the outskirts of the highly desirable and well-serviced village of Shap, Lyndene presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial double-fronted detached home, set within a generous plot and offering considerable potential for refurbishment and further development, subject to the necessary consents.

This Grade II Listed former farmhouse retains a wealth of original character and charm, with generously proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. The house currently provides two reception rooms, a kitchen with adjoining utility room/pantry, four double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom, offering an excellent foundation for creating a wonderful family home.

Outside, the property continues to impress. There is a double garage with adjoining loose box, together with a generous lawned garden featuring a pond and an external WC. A further detached outbuilding incorporates a workshop and additional loose box, with water and electricity connected, offering a range of potential uses.
The sizeable plot offers particularly exciting possibilities, whether to create a truly impressive garden for the main home or to explore the potential for a separate dwelling, subject to the appropriate consents.

The property also benefits from previous planning for a bungalow, while the footprint of the former cottage remains evident, with sections of the original walls incorporated into the existing garage and loose box. These features provide further points of interest for prospective purchasers considering the property's future potential for development.

Lyndene enjoys a wonderful outlook across the surrounding countryside towards High Street and Kidsty Pike, whilst being conveniently located less than a mile from the centre of Shap and just a few minutes from Junction 39 of the M6. Shap is also an overnight stopping point along Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk, which may be of interest to purchasers considering potential rental or visitor accommodation opportunities.

With generous accommodation, a substantial plot, historic character and a variety of possibilities to explore, Lyndene offers a rare opportunity to create a beautiful family home or pursue its wider potential, subject to the necessary consents
