4 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION New Lodge a spacious farm house with an attached stone barn, with potential to convert to a holiday let, additional accommodation or space to work from home, subject to planning permission. The property is in the quiet village of Sandford, in the heart of the Eden Valley in Cumbria, with good access links.

Sandford has a strong community spirit with a locally renowned pub, The Sandford Arms. It is just off the A66, 4 miles from the pretty town of Appleby which has a good range of shops, pubs & restaurants, primary school & grammar school, church & chapel. There are medical facilities at both Appleby and Brough, just 5 miles in the opposite direction. The A66 offers easy links to the M6 & A1 motorways as well as the Lake District, Teesdale and the Yorkshire Dales. The Settle Carlisle railway runs through both Appleby & Kirkby Stephen.

The property is semi-detached and was built in the 1800s. It offers spacious, light and flexible accommodation and benefits from LPG gas central heating. On the ground floor there is a good sized dining kitchen with separate utility room and downstairs shower room. Additionally there is a sitting room, lounge, and study. Upstairs there are four good double bedrooms, and a house bathroom.

Externally, there are enclosed front and rear gardens with outstanding views of the Roman Fell and Murton Fell. The front of the property is approached via wrought iron gates, which leads to a flagged pathway up to the stone porch. The front garden is laid to lawn with mature trees and flower borders. The property can also be accessed through the double arched doors into the attached barn, which leads to the rear garden. The rear garden is south facing and has a sun trap patio area, extensive lawn, mature trees and flower borders.

The attached 2 storey stone barn is currently used as a store but has potential for further development subject to planning permission. To the rear of the house is 1.5 acres of meadow land which is suitable for equestrian or similar use. The minor lane to the side gives roadside access. There is several block and timber outbuildings and garage. There may be scope to rent another 3 acres if required.

New Lodge offers the opportunity to own an excellent family home and small holding in a desirable village. Viewing is essential to appreciate the size and location of the property.
