The Laithes, Keld, Shap, Cumbria

Located in a peaceful setting, to the fringe of the Lake District National Park, handy for Shap village, a detached 3bed traditional farmhouse, a selection of attached barns with development potential, generous gardens and adjacent enclosed land circa 3.3 acres.

Found just outside the boundary of the National Park, in a charming setting surrounded by open fells, The Laithes is a fine example of a traditional Westmorland farmhouse, thought to date in parts to the late eighteenth century.

With unspoilt views, the property is found in well maintained order throughout, the living accommodation comprising a central hallway which gives access to the sitting room and also the main living room, which in turn leads to the kitchen dining room at the rear.

To the first floor are 3 double bedrooms and a 4 piece family bathroom.

Extended a number of times over the years, the property forms a horseshoe shape, with a selection of useful attached barns and stores, all built in local stone, which may have the potential, subject to the necessary permissions, for alteration into additional living accommodation.

The property sits centrally in a generous plot with enclosed gardens to the side and rear.

In addition is an attached paddock to the rear of the property, circa 4 acres.

Handy for both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, Keld is close to the village of Shap, which enjoys a wide range of amenities and has excellent transport links via the A6 and M6 to Penrith in the north and Kendal in the south.

A wonderful opportunity, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.
