Middle Bayles Farm, Alston, Cumbria

Located in a fantastic setting in the Pennine Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 5 minutes from the market town of Alston, with views over the South Tyne River Valley, a former small holding, ideal for equestrian purposes with a 2/3 bed detached house, stables and land in all circa 3.90 acres.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, Middle Bayles Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a most appealing Cumbrian farmstead in an enviable and unspoilt setting within the beautiful South Tyne Valley. Occupying an elevated position, the property combines period character and significant potential, creating an increasingly scarce lifestyle opportunity in one of the North Pennines' most picturesque locations.

Conveniently placed for access to the historic market town of Alston, with its excellent range of day-to-day amenities, Middle Bayles Farm is particularly well suited to equestrian purchasers, lifestyle buyers and those seeking a rural retreat with land and extensive outbuildings.

Approached via a short private lane, the farmhouse is an attractive traditional country residence that has evolved over time through a series of sympathetic additions. Rich in character and enjoying far-reaching views across the valley, the property offers exciting opportunities for enhancement and further development, subject to the necessary consents.

The accommodation currently extends to three well-proportioned reception rooms and a generous kitchen dining room on the ground floor, providing flexible family living and excellent entertaining space. To the first floor are two spacious double bedrooms and three bathrooms, offering comfortable accommodation whilst also presenting scope for reconfiguration should a purchaser wish to maximise the property's full potential.

Adjoining the house is a useful bothy, most recently utilised as a tack room, beyond which lies a traditional stone barn and a more recently constructed stable building. Further complementing the property is a detached split-level stable / barn together with a range of useful ancillary stores.

A particular feature of the holding is the fully enclosed riding arena, positioned adjacent to the detached stable block and providing excellent year-round equestrian facilities.

The farmhouse is framed by an enclosed garden to the front, whilst to the side is an open-fronted covered parking area. Two paddocks lie immediately adjacent to the house, with a further field situated on the opposite side of the lane, creating an attractive and practical arrangement for the keeping of horses or livestock. In all, the property extends to approximately 3.90 acres.

Middle Bayles Farm is far more than simply a house with land; it is a wonderfully rural property offering the chance to embrace a quintessential country lifestyle. Combining a characterful farmhouse, extensive equestrian facilities, traditional outbuildings and grazing land, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the South Tyne Valley, the property presents a unique opportunity to create an exceptional country home in a location of remarkable natural beauty. Whether sought as an equestrian property, smallholding, lifestyle retreat or multi-generational family home, Middle Bayles Farm offers an increasingly rare blend of space, versatility and potential that is seldom found and difficult to replicate.
