6 bedroom house

Description: Scarfoot Farm is a traditional 19th century Westmorland Farmhouse that enjoys a private and peaceful location on the fringe of the village of Underbarrow. The farmhouse and barn are now in need of some updating which will allow the new owners an opportunity to improve or extend depending on their requirements. The farmhouse offers a welcoming reception hall, large living room and a breakfast kitchen with Aga together with a useful utility and cloakroom on the ground floor and four good bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. The substantial stone and slate detached barn converted by the vendors offers a large two bedroom apartment with living room and dining kitchen at first floor level ideal for family or friends. Beneath the barn is double integral garage and useful stores and to the side of the farmhouse a useful potting/boiler shed. There is plenty of parking and turning, formal and informal gardens and woodland and the meadow (3.53 acres) all extending to approximately 8 acres (3.2 sq hectares).

For those seeking a home with equestrian needs there is plenty of room for stables and additional garaging subject of course to planning permissions.

For those seeking a home from which to work or run a business from - there is the very real benefit of Fibre Broadband to both the house and barn.

A home that offers the true meaning of privacy, encompassed by your own land and views which-ever way you look, yet within easy access to the market town of Kendal. 

Location: Situated between the Market Town of Kendal and the village of Underbarrow, Scarfoot Farm can be found by heading west out of Kendal by way of Allhallows Lane and Greenside on the Underbarrow Road. Continue over the Kendal by-pass, passing Scout Scar and into the Lake District National Park. Follow the road down towards the Village of Underbarrow and the entrance for the property can be found on your right to the side of Foxwell just before the village itself.
