A magnificent, picturesque detached former farmhouse with fabulous countryside views pleasantly situated in a rural location with one neighbouring property near to the village of Burneside where there is a primary school, church, community store and public house. The market town of Kendal is less than five miles from the property and the M6, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales are all within easy reach.

The accommodation, which is both well presented and well proportioned, is an excellent example of what is becoming increasingly rare to find in a traditional farmhouse by retaining many period and characteristic features including original beamwork, flagged flooring and an exposed original fireplace.

Upon entering the property through the traditional stone built porch the accommodation briefly comprises a bespoke dining kitchen with adjacent generous pantry, a study, inner hall and dual aspect sitting room with a woodburning stove to the ground floor and four bedrooms, with one having a dressing room and en suite shower room, a family bathroom and a hobby room to the first floor, which also benefits from a generous landing with airing cupboard. The property has oil fired central heating, double glazing and B4RN superfast internet.

Outside there are substantial gardens and grounds, a garage with workshop, a carport and ample driveway parking.
