This charming partly converted period Farmhouse presents a unique and

once in a generation opportunity to acquire a characterful Grade ll listed

home in the Lake District National Park. Full of wonder and intrigue, it is

steeped in history and surrounded by abundant lush green gardens and

rolling countryside, which creates a tranquil haven within a truly peaceful

setting. The original property, dating back to the 17th century, was given

extended accommodation by the current owners about 45 years ago by

the conversion of an integral hayloft. Set across two fl oors there are a

total of fi ve reception rooms, a traditional farmhouse style kitchen, separate

outside utility room, two bathrooms and fi ve bedrooms boasting character

and charm throughout. Externally, the landscaped gardens are a haven for

wildlife. The gardens comprise of lawned areas & also the added benefi t

of a paddock and another small enclosed grassy area. Adjacent to The

Old Farmhouse stands a large two storey 8 bay barn, believed to date

back to the 19th century; on the ground fl oor remain the original shippons

and above is currently a large storage area and workshop with so much

scope. There is a selection of useful outbuildings within the grounds and

the private drive affords ample parking.


The Old Farmhouse is set at the end of a council maintained country lane

in a tranquil and private setting on the outskirts of the beautiful village of

Blawith, occupying an elevated position with wide and far reaching views

across the gently undulating fells. With the tarmac ending at the gate and

continuing past as a rough track, the location of this unique package is

absolutely wonderful for those who seek a Lake District lifestyle. The

purchaser of this magical farm house will enjoy all the Lakes has to offer

on their doorstep, including some of the most spectacular walks with

direct access to the Crake Valley, the Woodland Valley, the Cumbria Way

and Beacon Tarn, just to name a few. There is easy access to local towns

and to the M6 motorway.


The private gate to The Old Farmhouse leads to the elevated plot where

there is ample parking space. Entering through the stable-type door, one

comes into the homely and traditional farmhouse style kitchen, a real

Lakeland heart of the home; complete with a 2 door Rayburn Royal,

exposed beams, plumbing for dishwasher, double drainer sink, and plentiful

space for a dining table to enjoy the most amazing views. Even from the

sink, stunning views can be enjoyed across the surrounding fells. The fi rst

of the reception rooms off the kitchen is the dining room with exposed

ceiling beams and views over the front, and access to the front patio area.

The living room enjoys views over the front garden; and the exposed stone

open inglenook fi replace and three wall cupboards, one of which may

have been a spice cupboard, are real features of this room. The living room

leads into a fl exible reception space, which could be utilised as a snug/

music room/computer room with original exposed beams and lintel. In

addition, next to the sitting room is a versatile reception room quietly

tucked away on the ground fl oor, perfect for guests or as a downstairs

bedroom for a dependent relative. The room is also well-placed, subject

to planning permission, for the addition of an en-suite bathroom.


The staircase leads from the living room to the first floor landing of this

charming farmhouse, where there are five bedrooms in total, each offering

unique but equally beautiful views over the surrounding fells and far reaching

countryside. There are also two family bathrooms, a separate WC with

wash hand basin and ample storage by way of an airing cupboard with an

immersion heater and built in shelving. There are also two floored loft

spaces. So this house is perfect for larger families. Also on the first floor

there is a fantastic reception room that could be utilised as an additional

bedroom if required. This elevated reception space boasts stunning views

over the fells and an exposed stone open fireplace. An open second, oak

staircase leads back down into the dining room, creating a flow to the

versatile farmhouse. From this room there is also external access to the

side patio.


The grounds and gardens at The Old Farmhouse are simply breathtaking,

they provide a cocoon of peace and tranquillity; a mix of well kept gardens

- a true dream for those with green fingers - complete with a soft fruit

garden and vegetable plot. The patio area extends into a neatly kept lawn

bordered by a selection of colourful plants and shrubbery. Within the

grounds there is a stream feeding a small pond which provides a trap for

the local wildlife and a focus for happy domestic ducks; and the backdrop

is an enviable panoramic view over the fells. The garden is supported by

a selection of useful outhouses and stores that are utilised predominantly

for storage, yet all have excellent development potential, with a useful

external utility room to the rear of the property which can be accessed

from the kitchen. In addition there is also a large detached eight bay barn

with huge scope for development. In the lower portion there is a shippon

with side passage, a workshop and a cool room currently used as a cellar.

A huge open space in the upper portion, currently with good workshop

and sturdy hayloft, also presents an excellent opportunity, subject to planning

permission, to develop into separate accommodation for dependent

relatives or additional income revenues. To the rear of the Farmhouse is a

paddock which is a great addition to this already abundant package that

offers discerning purchasers so much potential.


Directions

Travelling from Coniston, pass through the village along the A593

heading towards Torver. As you reach Torver, take the fi rst left hand

turn down the A5084 just after the Church House Inn. Continue for

approximately 5 miles to Blawith and, as you reach the phone box

outside the church, turn right onto a single country lane. Continue

along this lane; it will be signposted for Tottlebank only and the property

is located on your left hand side after approximately 1.3 miles.

If approaching from the south, turn off the A590 at the Greenodd

roundabout onto the A5092 as far as Lowick Green, then fork right

onto the A5084, until the Blawith phone box appears. In this case turn

left up the small lane opposite. In both cases persevere – it seems like

a long one and a half miles.
