Description

Found in a rural area, mid-way between Penrith and Carlisle, with excellent access to the M6 and A6, enjoying panoramic views across the Petteril Valley to the Pennines, a former small holding comprising a recently extended 4 bed farmhouse with a selection of barns and field, in all circa 3.9 acres.

Situated in this popular area, Peartree Farm offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial traditional stone built farmhouse, providing specious and flexible living accommodation, along with a most useful selection of barns and outbuildings, with development potential subject to the necessary permissions, along with an attached field, making it an ideal home for a rural family.

The house itself is a traditional double fronted Georgian building, and has been extended to the rear a number of times, the accommodation now comprising from the front a central hallway, with staircase to the first floor and separate living and sitting rooms, a traditional pantry with sandstone shelving, a generous dining room with Clearview multifuel stove in a sandstone fireplace, which assists the hot water system, a rear hall with utility room and downstairs shower room and a superbly appointed kitchen dining room, with vaulted ceiling and integrated appliances including fridge freezer, dish washer and Quooker tap. An oak staircase leads upwards to a mezzanine study area and then to the master bedroom.

To the first floor, from the entrance hallway, the traditional staircase leads to the main landing, which serves the 3 bedrooms to the front of the property, with a secondary landing leading to separate shower and bathrooms and then onto the master bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling, and also leads onto the mezzanine above the kitchen.

Externally, the property has formal gardens to the right, whilst to the left is a gated courtyard with a selection of single story outbuildings and the two story main barn. Beyond this a track leads up to a further open sided barn and then to the field beyond.

Found in good order throughout, with some improvements required in places and priced accordingly, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate.

Directions
