This charming partly converted period Farmhouse presents a unique and
once in a generation opportunity to acquire a characterful Grade ll listed
home in the Lake District National Park. Full of wonder and intrigue, it is
steeped in history and surrounded by abundant lush green gardens and
rolling countryside, which creates a tranquil haven within a truly peaceful
setting. The original property, dating back to the 17th century, was given
extended accommodation by the current owners about 45 years ago by
the conversion of an integral hayloft. Set across two fl oors there are a
total of fi ve reception rooms, a traditional farmhouse style kitchen, separate
outside utility room, two bathrooms and fi ve bedrooms boasting character
and charm throughout. Externally, the landscaped gardens are a haven for
wildlife. The gardens comprise of lawned areas & also the added benefi t
of a paddock and another small enclosed grassy area. Adjacent to The
Old Farmhouse stands a large two storey 8 bay barn, believed to date
back to the 19th century; on the ground fl oor remain the original shippons
and above is currently a large storage area and workshop with so much
scope. There is a selection of useful outbuildings within the grounds and
the private drive affords ample parking.

The Old Farmhouse is set at the end of a council maintained country lane
in a tranquil and private setting on the outskirts of the beautiful village of
Blawith, occupying an elevated position with wide and far reaching views
across the gently undulating fells. With the tarmac ending at the gate and
continuing past as a rough track, the location of this unique package is
absolutely wonderful for those who seek a Lake District lifestyle. The
purchaser of this magical farm house will enjoy all the Lakes has to offer
on their doorstep, including some of the most spectacular walks with
direct access to the Crake Valley, the Woodland Valley, the Cumbria Way
and Beacon Tarn, just to name a few. There is easy access to local towns
and to the M6 motorway.

The private gate to The Old Farmhouse leads to the elevated plot where
there is ample parking space. Entering through the stable-type door, one
comes into the homely and traditional farmhouse style kitchen, a real
Lakeland heart of the home; complete with a 2 door Rayburn Royal,
exposed beams, plumbing for dishwasher, double drainer sink, and plentiful
space for a dining table to enjoy the most amazing views. Even from the
sink, stunning views can be enjoyed across the surrounding fells. The fi rst
of the reception rooms off the kitchen is the dining room with exposed
ceiling beams and views over the front, and access to the front patio area.
The living room enjoys views over the front garden; and the exposed stone
open inglenook fi replace and three wall cupboards, one of which may
have been a spice cupboard, are real features of this room. The living room
leads into a fl exible reception space, which could be utilised as a snug/
music room/computer room with original exposed beams and lintel. In
addition, next to the sitting room is a versatile reception room quietly
tucked away on the ground fl oor, perfect for guests or as a downstairs
bedroom for a dependent relative. The room is also well-placed, subject
to planning permission, for the addition of an en-suite bathroom.

The staircase leads from the living room to the first floor landing of this
charming farmhouse, where there are five bedrooms in total, each offering
unique but equally beautiful views over the surrounding fells and far reaching
countryside. There are also two family bathrooms, a separate WC with
wash hand basin and ample storage by way of an airing cupboard with an
immersion heater and built in shelving. There are also two floored loft
spaces. So this house is perfect for larger families. Also on the first floor
there is a fantastic reception room that could be utilised as an additional
bedroom if required. This elevated reception space boasts stunning views
over the fells and an exposed stone open fireplace. An open second, oak
staircase leads back down into the dining room, creating a flow to the
versatile farmhouse. From this room there is also external access to the
side patio.

The grounds and gardens at The Old Farmhouse are simply breathtaking,
they provide a cocoon of peace and tranquillity; a mix of well kept gardens
- a true dream for those with green fingers - complete with a soft fruit
garden and vegetable plot. The patio area extends into a neatly kept lawn
bordered by a selection of colourful plants and shrubbery. Within the
grounds there is a stream feeding a small pond which provides a trap for
the local wildlife and a focus for happy domestic ducks; and the backdrop
is an enviable panoramic view over the fells. The garden is supported by
a selection of useful outhouses and stores that are utilised predominantly
for storage, yet all have excellent development potential, with a useful
external utility room to the rear of the property which can be accessed
from the kitchen. In addition there is also a large detached eight bay barn
with huge scope for development. In the lower portion there is a shippon
with side passage, a workshop and a cool room currently used as a cellar.
A huge open space in the upper portion, currently with good workshop
and sturdy hayloft, also presents an excellent opportunity, subject to planning
permission, to develop into separate accommodation for dependent
relatives or additional income revenues. To the rear of the Farmhouse is a
paddock which is a great addition to this already abundant package that
offers discerning purchasers so much potential.

Directions
Travelling from Coniston, pass through the village along the A593
heading towards Torver. As you reach Torver, take the fi rst left hand
turn down the A5084 just after the Church House Inn. Continue for
approximately 5 miles to Blawith and, as you reach the phone box
outside the church, turn right onto a single country lane. Continue
along this lane; it will be signposted for Tottlebank only and the property
is located on your left hand side after approximately 1.3 miles.
If approaching from the south, turn off the A590 at the Greenodd
roundabout onto the A5092 as far as Lowick Green, then fork right
onto the A5084, until the Blawith phone box appears. In this case turn
left up the small lane opposite. In both cases persevere – it seems like
a long one and a half miles.
