Explore this gorgeous farmhouse with stunning views of the Lakeland fells

With features dating back to the 1700s, and sitting pretty as the highest house in the valley, this farmhouse is one of a kind.

Siting alone in peaceful isolation, nestled in idyllic countryside, this property is a real dream home.

Step through the porch into the cosy farmhouse, where the fitted Mark Wilkinson kitchen is both characterful and practical, with exposed beams, a double sink, dishwasher and dining area. Make your way through to the snug, which joins the kitchen and lounge, creating a central space. The lounge has a glazed door to the garden, and a log-burning stove creates a welcoming environment – where better to retire after dinner for a glass of wine?

Beyond this, the study is an ideal space for working from home, also equipped with feature fireplace. There is also access to the dairy room, a hint to the property’s past, now serving as a heated storage room.

Part-way up the stairs is the sizeable WC and handy utility room. Carry on upstairs to the minstrels gallery landing, with the family bathroom to the right.

The main bedroom boasts windows on either side to ensure the fell top views are ever present. There are three further bedrooms, all of which include views of the stunning countryside’s and you can follow along the landing to an additional shower room.

Outside the wraparound gardens offer privacy and peace. The garden has been landscaped with a unique flow, with pockets of privacy, shelter and sunshine to enjoy all year round. Beyond a gate, there is access to a field, also owned by the property, creating a perfect sanctuary hidden in the landscape. Admiring the view, you’ll spot the instantly recognisable outlines of Helm Crag, Fairfield, Seat Sandal and Steel Fell – all of which are walkable from the house.
