VILLAGE FARMSTEAD RIPE FOR REDEVELOPMENT
Description
Situation
Orchard House sits on the fringe of the pretty village of Calthwaite, within easy commuting distance of Penrith and Carlisle. The property sits proudly in an elevated and private position on the western edge of the village, surrounded on three sides by open fields and woodland.
The village of Calthwaite lies within a mile of the M6 providing swift access to the wider motorway connections and east west connectivity of the A66 and A69. Calthwaite has a nursery, primary school, The Globe Inn and Calthwaite Hall wedding venue. The property is also well placed to take advantage of the remarkable landscapes, lakes and villages within the Lake District National Park, whilst still being practically located for both airport and rail connections.
Farmhouse
The farmhouse is a wonderful traditional property with a southerly aspect and forms part of the wider steading comprising a range of traditional buildings to the north. The accommodation consists of five bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor, with the ground floor arranged as a kitchen, dining room, sitting room, pantry, boot room and utility room with additional conservatory/porch. In all, the internal accommodation extends to over 2,150 sq ft.
The property is of traditional stone under slate roof construction and requires a full programme of renovation and updating. Various traditional features remain and could be incorporated into the renovations to a purchaser’s taste. The property is in an enviable position, located on the village fringe yet secluded by well-established trees and shrubs bordering the southern and western flanks of the property.
It is serviced by oil fired central heating and single glazed sash windows. There is an open fire located in the dining room.
Gardens and Land
The gardens include patio, rockery and lawn areas which are sheltered by specimen trees and an orchard, giving a secluded feel. The property is accessed via a short drive leading through the courtyard of farm buildings to the north of the farmhouse. To the west of the buildings lie two paddocks with field shelter. Mature trees extend along the southern perimeter of the property bordered by a small watercourse. To the east of the property lies the largest grassland parcel which would be perfectly suited for equestrian, hobby agricultural or amenity use.
Traditional buildings
North of the farmhouse is an extensive range of traditional farm buildings and stables totalling over 6,500 sq. ft and arranged around a delightful cobbled courtyard. The farm buildings are predominately of sandstone construction with slate roof coverings and a mix of double height and single storey. These consist of former stables, livestock and general purpose storage buildings.
The buildings incorporate a number of original features and details and, notwithstanding the current use, they could form part of some ancillary accommodation to the main farmhouse or create an extensive and unique additional residential property, holiday cottages, office space, storage, equestrian facilities or other amenity use, subject to the necessary consents.
