Moorahill Farm is a stunning Grade II Listed Lakeland farm steading with a substantial plot of around 6 ring fenced acres with a large beautifully restored 17th century farmhouse and barn with wonderful exposed cruck beams and vaulted ceilings and number of smaller outbuildings and barns. This is a superb lifestyle opportunity for a buyer looking for a magnificent family home with a country lifestyle or even has commercial potential with the use of the many outbuildings. The farmhouse itself dates back to the 17th century and retains many charming and original features including wood panelling, stone flagged floors, salt and spice cupboards and many more period features. Internally it is immaculate order and has been completed to an exacting standard with high quality finishes and stylish decor.   Each window throughout the property is blessed with spectacular open countryside views! The main house has five bedrooms and four bathrooms with an additional two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the attached converted barn, which can be accessed internally, making this home flexible and ideal for a large family, multi-generational use or as income/holiday let potential. Inside the main house there is a stylish dining kitchen with cream AGA range, an impressive sitting room with stone fireplace, wood burning stove and an original wooden partition wall leading into the dining room/snug, also with a stone fireplace and open fire, a shower room, utility room and pantry, To the first floor there are five bedrooms, two having ensuite facilities, and a family bathroom.  The attached barn has a large lounge, modern fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms, both with ensuite shower rooms. The barn can be accessed independently and has a private parking area and garden. Outside, to the front, there is a pretty cottage garden and a stone outbuilding which has been converted to a fully functioning home office.  To the rear there is a lovely courtyard with a range of outbuildings, a large L-shaped 17th century cruck barn which has been beautifully restored with haylofts, wonderful exposed cruck beams and vaulted ceilings and a further large agricultural building (45ft x 22ft) sitting behind the courtyard.  The plot extends to around 6 acres and includes a small woodland coppice and grazing land. Located a short drive from the villages of Bampton and Shap and and their local amenities, shops, doctor’s surgery, primary school, swimming pool and pubs and excellent transport links. The M6 Junction 39 is only a short distance and the market town of Penrith is approx. 10 miles.  This property is unlikely to remain on the market for any long period of time and a viewing highly recommended.
