Southwaite Farmhouse, Mallerstang

DESCRIPTION

Southwaite Farmhouse and Annex sits in a quiet, off the road location in the valley of

Mallerstang, some 4 miles from Kirkby Stephen.

The Mallerstang valley is a hidden gem with spectacular landscapes and local landmarks such

as the Wild Boar Fell and Mallerstang Edge, beautiful birds, wildlife including red squirrels.

Primary and Grammar schools are at Kirkby Stephen (bus collection), church at the ne arby

hamlet of Outhgill, there is a pub in Nateby and Moorcock with train stations on the Settle

Carlisle at Garsdale and

Kirkby Stephen, with links to main lines. This area has become part of the expanded

Yorkshire Dales National Park, giving it protected status.

Southwaite Farm is the oldest in the dale and the first of 11 'customary' farms. It is unusual in

having its own royal charter dating from 1346 when Edward II allowed Roger de Clifford to

create a vaccary (a cattle farm) in the then royal hunting forest. There has probably been a

farmhouse on the site since this time. The property is a typical Dales long house which dates

from the 17th century and was

extended into the attached barn in the 1990's. The property boasts a wealth of original

character features including flag stone floors, the traditional pantry, exposed ceiling beams

and sash and mullion windows.

Internally the property offers spacious accommodation, on the ground floor is an open plan,

farmhouse style dining kitchen with AGA, a taditional Dales pantry/ utility, complete with the

original stone shelving and a sitting room at the front, overlooking the gardens with a beautiful

stone fireplace reputed to be from Pendragon Castle. Also, a ground floor bedroom/ study and

a modern ground floor shower room in what was the barn. To the rear is a gorgeous sun room

catching morning sunshine. There are two staircases from the ground floor. The staircase

within the barn leads to a fabulous first floor sitting room, full height with exposed roof

timbers. The second staircase

leads to three further double bedrooms and the house bathroom.

There is a detached, single storey annexe. This could be ideal for a dependant relative, work

from home space or holiday let. There is a

large living/ bedroom, a fitted kitchen and shower room. This space could be extended in to the

garage (subject to necessary permissions) this would then allow a separate bedroom and or

living space.

Externally, the grounds total around 1 acre, mostly at the front of the property. The gardens

are a true gardener's delight, they have been sympathetically landscaped to create various

'rooms'. Each, different area has been carefully thought out, the plants, shrubs and trees are

well established and mature. There is an abundance wildlife within the Mallerstang valley, red

squirrels, deer, birds of prey can often be spotted from the garden. The garden has been

featured in the Lakeland Gardener, the journal of the Lakeland Horticultural Society.

There is a private drive with a large parking area from the road to the front of the property.

There is also a rear entrance with further parking space and garage.
