Comprising a three-bedroom farmhouse with an adjoining one-bedroom annexe, set amongst 2.12 acres of gardens and paddock. With far-reaching views across Morecambe Bay and the Lake District Fells, this property enjoys a truly enviable position, combining rural charm with excellent accessibility.Nestled in the small hamlet of Ayside, the property is perfectly placed to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding areas and the convenience of excellent transport links.

The M6 motorway and nearby rail connections provide good access further afield, with Oxenholme Railway Station. For those with younger family, there are some excellent local schools, both primary and secondary, with a choice of private schools close by. Being a property full of potential, Summer Hill’s traditional character and generous grounds offer a superb base from which to create a dream home.

Inside, the farmhouse provides generous accommodation, with a central porch leading to an inner hallway. To one side lies a generous lounge with dual aspect and outlook, on the opposite side there is a dining room which connects through to a well-proportioned kitchen. The kitchen provides wall and base units set around a two-oven aga. Beyond is a utility room, providing additional storage, laundry facilities and a personal access door.

The first floor provides three comfortable bedrooms, each enjoying open views over the iconic landscape. The bedrooms share the house bathroom, which provides a shower, WC and wash hand basin, with a separate WC adjoining. The second floor is accessed via an existing staircase and features two large loft rooms, which provide scope for a variety of uses.

Adjoining the main farmhouse is a one-bedroom annexe, which could easily be incorporated into the main farmhouse or provides an excellent opportunity for multigenerational living or investment potential. With its own separate access, the accommodation is self-contained.

Surrounding the property are beautiful gardens and grounds, with the benefit of an adjoining paddock area to the rear. In all, the grounds extend to approximately 2.12 acres, or thereabouts, and offer excellent versatility and potential for those looking for a rural lifestyle. The approach to the property is via a choice of driveways, which gives potential for the farmhouse and annexe accommodation to be split.
