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.
