About this listing
This is an exceptional opportunity to own a magnificent 18th-century Georgian farmhouse extending over approx. 4000 sq ft and is beautifully positioned on the fringe of the Lake District National Park, enjoying a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently located within a short drive of Cockermouth, Workington and Whitehaven. This spectacular home seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern efficiency, offering an outstanding lifestyle property perfectly suited to family living, multi-generational occupation, or those seeking space, privacy and connection to the surrounding countryside.
Steeped in history and rich in architectural character, the property retains an abundance of original period features from its Georgian heritage, while extensive modernisation by the current owners has transformed the home into an impressive energy-efficient residence. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully upgraded — including the installation of solar panels and solar thermal for heating water on the large Buttermere Slate roof, which is south facing — the property successfully balances timeless charm with contemporary comfort.
Arranged across four spacious levels, the accommodation is both substantial and versatile. The ground floor is introduced by a grand and welcoming entrance hallway, setting an immediate tone of scale and refinement. The heart of the home lies within the beautiful open-plan kitchen and lounge, a warm and sociable space designed for modern family life. The country-style kitchen showcases unique Lakeland slate worktops alongside a traditional range oven, creating a perfect fusion of rustic craftsmanship and practicality. The adjoining lounge area enjoys large windows overlooking the gardens and centres around a log burner, offering a cosy yet elegant setting throughout the seasons. A generous dining room provides the ideal environment for entertaining, comfortably hosting family gatherings, celebrations and special occasions.
A substantial reception room, currently utilised as a home office and study, offers further flexibility. This impressive space features ornate detailing, an attractive fireplace and log burner, making it equally suited as a formal sitting room, library or additional family living area. To the rear of the property, a bright and versatile sunroom overlooks the extensive gardens and is presently used as a gym and relaxation space, though it would lend itself effortlessly to use as a playroom, studio or additional workspace. A practical utility room enhances everyday living and provides internal access to the adjoining barn, creating a seamless extension of the home’s functionality.
The first floor hosts three generously proportioned double bedrooms, each reflecting the property’s sense of grandeur and character. A well appointed family bathroom features wooden flooring, a classic roll-top bath and walk-in shower, offering a sumptuous retreat. One of the bedrooms benefit from private en-suite facilities, providing comfort and convenience for both family members and guests.
The second floor continues the theme of space and character, offering two further impressive bedrooms, each complemented by en-suite bathrooms. Rich in original features and enjoying a wonderfully atmospheric feel, this level provides ideal accommodation for older children, guests or independent living arrangements.
The lower ground floor adds yet another dimension to the home, presenting a fabulous home cinema room — a perfect setting for relaxed evenings and entertainment. Additional rooms currently serve as a sewing room and craft space, offering excellent versatility for hobbies, creative pursuits or potential home working areas.
Externally, the property is equally impressive. A paved rear driveway accessed through a wooden farm gate provides off road parking for several vehicles and leads to large double doors that allows the barn to function as a garage if desired, while a separate front driveway accessed through a wooden farm gate provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The attached barn, workshop and additional outbuildings offer exceptional potential, with the substantial workshop presenting an ideal environment for mechanical work, storage, or a dedicated business or creative workspace.
The mature gardens extend to approximately two and a half acres and are arranged across three distinct and beautifully secluded sections, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity. Lawned areas, established planting and open spaces create an idyllic outdoor setting for family life and entertaining. A particularly special feature is the private gated access from the lower garden directly onto the renowned Coast-to-Coast walking path, allowing immediate access to scenic walks and cycling routes leading into the Lake District National Park.
Further enhancing the property’s appeal is an impressive and thoughtfully designed growing area, currently used to cultivate a wide variety of vegetables and produce. This productive outdoor kitchen and garden space perfectly complements a sustainable lifestyle, offering the opportunity for self-sufficiency, seasonal living and outdoor entertaining. Whether enjoyed as a working kitchen garden, a family activity space or a place to relax and connect with nature, it represents a rare and highly desirable addition to an already exceptional home.
This outstanding Georgian farmhouse represents a rare combination of heritage, scale and modern sustainability. Offering exceptional versatility, breathtaking surroundings and carefully preserved character throughout, it stands as a truly special home — lovingly improved by its current owners with the intention of creating a forever residence. It now presents an extraordinary opportunity for new owners to enjoy an elegant country lifestyle.

Externally
The mature gardens are laid out in three distinct sections totalling approximately two and a half acres and benefitting from comprehensively installed drainage. The secluded house garden has two lawned areas, rose arbour, a large patio and beautiful beds surrounded by many mature Ash, Beech and Oak trees.
A six-bar farm gate leads to the large sandstone walled kitchen garden with many large, raised beds, a fifty by fourteen-foot polytunnel and a twenty-foot potting shed.
The remaining garden is also secluded with picket fencing throughout and a large disused railway embankment acting as the lower boundary. The area is grassed, there is a long stone path and there is a broad mix of mature trees. Three hundred Basket Willow trees have been planted within the garden. Significant work has been carried out with drainage and there are numerous manholes around the garden for maintenance.
There is also the opportunity to pump water from an underground beck that runs through the ground for use on the kitchen garden. A pedestrian wooden farm gate provides a private access to the Coast-to-Coast National Path, allowing for beautiful walks and cycling straight from the property.
