The Land
The land lies in two distinct blocks as shown highlighted red on the attached plan. To the west away from the main farmland are two field enclosures extending to 5.42 acres (2.19 ha) consisting of former hay meadow which is now being used as a wildlife habitat area consisting of grassland together with parcels of woodland of predominantly silver birch. Both field enclosures have roadside access along their northern boundaries.
The main holding of land is located at and around Drumleaning and extends to 68.47 acres (27.71 ha) or thereabouts. The land is in exceptionally good heart and consists of a mixture of agricultural land together with smaller areas of woodland / shelterbelts. The agricultural land is currently let out to a local farmer on a seasonal let with the fields sown down to either grassland or arable cropping. The two fields which have been in winter barley for this harvest have recently been ploughed and are due to be re-seeded into a grass ley. Cattle handling pens are located in the field to the east of the farm buildings. The land is serviced by a shared mains water supply.
The Property
Drumleaning is a substantial and attractive five bedroom country house situated in a fabulous rural location within easy reach of both the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Lake District National Park. The property benefits from a hugely impressive detached period outbuilding that offers a wealth of possibilities to interested parties.
An extensive range of agricultural outbuildings with concrete hardstanding provide yet more options, which could include commercial opportunities subject to the relevant planning. There is three-phase electric power to the outbuildings, ensuring that the buildings can be utilised for a wide range of purposes, and there is also a back-up generator.
The house is a fine example of a Cumbrian country house with lovely period features and generous proportions throughout. The pillared portico leads to the welcoming entrance hall with access to two impressive reception rooms, each with a feature fireplace and wonderful open views. The drawing room flows through to the country style kitchen and onwards to the dining room with French doors opening to the gardens. A spacious utility room provides great practicality. To the rear of the property is a ground floor bedroom, again with French doors to the gardens. A playroom sits adjacent to this bedroom along with a well-appointed shower room. This area could be configured as a private annexe for guests or a dependent relative.
There are four bedrooms to the first floor with varying outlooks. All are good double bedrooms and one has an adjoining dressing room that can also be accessed from the landing. The bedrooms are served by the elegant family bathroom with suite comprising freestanding roll top bath, separate walk-in shower, WC and a wash hand basin set on a vanity unit. The property further benefits from a large basement that is divided in to two spacious rooms.
Externally
Drumleaning is approached via a wide tarmacadam driveway with a sweeping turning circle in front of the house. A huge detached period barn sits to one side. This beautiful building currently provides triple garaging and storage on the ground floor with additional storage on the upper floor. There is potential to create a gymnasium, cinema room, private annexe or a host of other options, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The expansive gardens are mainly laid to lawn and there is a patio area accessed directly from the dining room and ground floor bedroom.
To the rear of the house there are a range of useful agricultural buildings offering further opportunities, including potential commercial ventures, subject to the relevant planning.
