Description

This is your chance to enjoy a slice of heaven!!! Have you ever dreamed of owning your own Lake? Or do you have an equestrian interest? With around 20+ acres of land, stunning views in all directions, this rural, yet accessible, standalone property offers the new owner a wealth of possibilities. With a four bedroom farmhouse with two adjoining cottages with scope for two bed dwellings and a three bedroom detached bungalow, this is a dream prospect for those seeking simply a large family home in a beautiful rural location or those looking for superb combination of commercial/residential accommodation for an ultimate live/work arrangement or even for those with bigger plans to develop the site even further, maybe for a leisure/hospitality opportunity such as campsite, glamping etc (subject to planning). At Sowerby Lodge the opportunities are endless!

The Main House - The main house is a beautiful 4 bedroom farmhouse with stunning original features, exposed beams and stonework and even an original barrel vault with feature arched stone ceiling. Internally it is immaculate order and has been completed to an exacting standard with high quality finishes and stylish decor. Each window is blessed with spectacular open countryside views!

Throughout the home, the living spaces are spacious and flexible with around 5000 sqft of living accommodation. There are 6 large reception rooms including, at the heart of the home, an impressive lounge with imposing stone fireplace and oak staircase leading to a mezzanine level dining room/snug, dining kitchen, four double bedrooms, two with ensuites and all of generous proportions, utility room, family bathroom and an abundance of storage space. Externally, it enjoys its own extensive lawned gardens and a number of terraces, perfect for enjoying the spectacular views of the fells!

The Bungalow - Sitting to the rear of the main house is a detached 3 bedroom bungalow with is perfect for further income potential or for multi-generational living. Internally it is well presented and has a traditional kitchen, open plan living /dining room with feature fireplace, conservatory with stunning views and its own pretty cottage garden. The bungalow has its own driveway which leads around to a private parking area, carport and outbuilding.

The Adjoining Cottages - Adjoining the main house, as either an extension to the main home or for further development, there are 2 two storey cottages which have been previously used as office space but with minor reconfiguration would make 2 superb holiday cottages, both with 2/3 bedrooms and their own garden spaces to the rear. These would be perfect for those looking to generate an income as a holiday let/AirbNb or separate work from home and use as office space.

Outbuildings - Externally there are also a number of very large outbuildings, an extensive yard with parking for a significant number of vehicles. These would make a superb commercial opportunity for business/haulage/lodges/holiday lets, subject to planning consents.
