Occupying an elevated position, with glorious views across the Eden Valley towards the Lake District fells, Scalehouse Farm is a great example of a traditional former farmhouse, believed to date originally to the 16th century, which has evolved and been extended over time to create a spacious family home.
Occupying a generous plot, with an enclosed cobbled yard to the front, the main accommodation has retained many of the original features giving great charm and character and comprises flexible living space, with 2 reception rooms and 4 double bedrooms, along with a bathroom and separate shower room.
Attached to the main house, the former haybarn has been incorporated, with access through the kitchen, into a tack room and separate boot room which also has an additional shower room. Above this the space has been converted into a "bothy" which has previously been used as a successful "Air BNB" with an income circa £8,000 PA. The potential also exists by re-opening up a blocked over doorway to integrate this room into the main accommodation of the house.
Externally, to the rear of the cobbled yard is a selection of barns and stables, which have a lapsed planning permission to convert into an additional residential dwelling, Reference: 20/0099. Behind the house, and wrapping round the rear of the barns, are well stocked and mature gardens, with an enclosed chicken run and additional access for a vehicle.
Opposite the main gate of the cobbled yard is the entrance to the field which is well drained, sloping gently away from the house, making it ideal for equestrian purposes.
A wonderful rural residence, ideal for a growing family or with options as a bed an breakfast, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
