This delightful 17th century period farmhouse is constructed from local grit stone and offers substantial accommodation including the main house, a holiday cottage and additional outbuildings all set in approx 14 acres ideal for those who seek a country lifestyle with additional income, in one of the most picturesque settings in the north west.

The farmhouse provides comfortable and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors with the heart of the house undoubtedly the superb farmhouse kitchen designed by Lux kitchens with its beautiful stone flooring, a range of bespoke fitted kitchen units with granite worktops, an electric Everhot cooker, Frankie sink and Neff dishwasher and plenty of space for family dining.

The utility room is very spacious with plenty of room for a washer/dryer, additional fridge/freezer and storage complete with quarry tiled flooring and a Belfast sink.

A large pantry also leads off the living room and this could be utilised as a home office or snug if required. An oak staircase leads to the first floor spacious landing with vaulted ceilings and oak beams and a feature fireplace. The landing/occasional bedroom is large enough to be a reception room in itself, perhaps ideal as a study/home office. There are three double bedrooms off the landing and two bathrooms.
The principal suite is well presented with duals aspect windows, fitted wardrobes a large dressing area and an en suite bathroom with bath, walk in shower, sink and toilet finished with porcelain tiled flooring.
