4 bed farmhouse for sale

New to the market! A fantastic 4 bed detached stone house sat within a rural location in an elevated position complete with far reaching open countryside views. The property is partially used by the current owners as a successful B&B and also as their main residence, however the configuration and size of the house would make a spacious family home with multi generational living options. In addition it offers further development potential in the form of an unconverted stone barn, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The ground floor accommodation in brief comprises of 3 spacious and bright reception rooms all with exposed ceiling beams, neutral and tasteful decoration and uPVC sash style windows with deep sills and boasting fantastic countryside views, 2 well appointed kitchens with tiled floors and a good range of over - under storage cabinets, 2 bathrooms and a sunroom.

Two internal staircases rise to the first floor where there are 4 double bedrooms one of which is used as a living room by the current vendors and another that has the benefit of an En suite bathroom. The bedrooms are all characterful, bright and spacious with the benefit of tasteful decoration and ample space for free standing storage furniture.

Externally, the property boasts a large gravel driveway with parking available for at least 6 vehicles, conservatively. A patio area runs adjacent to and along the front of the property and makes an ideal place for enjoying the fantastic views on offer. A path from the driveway leads to the detached stone barn which benefits from new external doors and would make a fantastic workshop or potentially further living accommodation subject to the relevant planning permissions. An area of grassland lies adjacent to the barn and is bounded by a dry stone wall, a pedestrian footpath extends across a small portion of this area. To the rear of the property are 3 rooms which make up the ‘lean to’, one of which is used as a plant room while the other two are useful store rooms.
