Description
Occupying an attractive rural position on the edge of Holme, High House is an impressive and highly individual country property, combining the character and proportions of a traditional farmhouse with beautifully appointed contemporary accommodation, established gardens, useful ancillary buildings and land, in all circa 18 acres.

Approached by a quiet country lane and surrounded by open countryside, from the house and gardens there are far-reaching pastoral views towards Farleton Knott, while the mature gardens provide an attractive sense of privacy and seclusion.

High House has been thoughtfully transformed to create a comfortable and versatile home, retaining much of the character to be expected of a property of this nature whilst providing the scale and facilities required for modern family life. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to a substantial five-bedroom house, with generous reception and working spaces.

At the heart of the house is an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, with exposed beams, stone flooring and a wood-burning stove introducing warmth and character. This impressive room provides a natural focus for the house, combining a well-equipped kitchen with dining and informal sitting areas.

A more formal sitting room provides an alternative reception space, with a dual aspect and French doors opening onto the terrace. There is also a separate study, positioned to take advantage of the outlook and providing a quiet environment for working from home. A utility room, rear entrance and downstairs WC complete the ground floor.

The first floor provides five bedrooms, the principal bedroom incorporating fitted storage and an en-suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed, 4 piece family bathroom.

Externally, immediately surrounding the house, are established gardens combining broad areas of lawn, mature trees and planting, together with a substantial terrace positioned to enjoy the rural outlook. A charming garden room provides additional amenity, whilst a small stream and footbridge introduce a particularly attractive natural feature within the grounds. A substantial detached garage incorporates additional accommodation above, whilst a separate agricultural building provides extensive workshop and storage facilities.

Beyond the formal gardens, the property extends into its own land. The present arrangement lends itself particularly well to equestrian interests, grazing, recreation or smallholding use, although the land and associated buildings could readily accommodate a variety of requirements. The outbuildings are equally useful and are currently split into a workshop space and 4 stables with feed room.

There is an all-weather turnout pen which was once part of the arena. The drainage is still in place and could once again be an arena without too much effort.

Despite its rural surroundings, High House enjoys excellent communications. The A6 is readily accessible, with Junction 36 of the M6 within easy reach, providing convenient connections throughout Cumbria, Lancashire and beyond. Kendal, Lancaster and the Lune Valley are readily accessible, whilst the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are both within comfortable travelling distance. Oxenholme railway station provides access to the West Coast Main Line, including direct services to London Euston.

High House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country home in an exceptionally attractive and accessible setting. Its combination of character, generous accommodation, established grounds, ancillary buildings and land creates a property of considerable flexibility and appeal, equally suited to family life, rural pursuits or simply enjoying the space and freedom of a private country setting.
