If you are looking to escape to the country, then look no further than Lytheside Farm, a Grade II Listed smallholding with farmhouse, cottage, outbuildings, stunning views and land in an idyllic rural setting.
Set around a charming gated cobbled yard is the farmhouse, cottage and barn. Let us take you on a tour....
Lytheside Farmhouse
With a date stone of 1736 the utterly charming and welcoming three storey farmhouse has been sympathetically refurbished by the current owners. Character abounds with beamed ceiling, dado rails, hanging racks in the kitchen, pine staircase, some original doors and dove cotes to name but a few.
The porch with wooden benches and flagged floor leads into the entrance hall with half cellar with stone benches and WC. The sitting room has a marble fireplace, window seat, inset arched cupboard and bookshelves. The open plan dining kitchen is a lovely sociable space - the dining area has an ornate wood fireplace with flagged tiled slips and flagged hearth. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall units with slate worktops and a matching island unit with breakfast bar and wood work top. Integral appliances comprise a two oven cream Aga, fridge and dishwasher.
An inner hall with larder cupboard leads to the triple aspect drawing room with ornate fireplace and Jetmaster wood burner, arched window and external door and French windows out onto the
seating terrace. Off the drawing room is a drinks cupboard.
The full return staircase leads to a landing. The dual aspect principal bedroom has fitted units, a walk in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom with lovely views. There are three further doubles, one currently used as an office, all of which benefit from the views. The house bathroom also has a useful laundry cupboard and there is also a separate shower room. To the second floor there is a large attic room providing a fifth bedroom with walk in wardrobe.
Bordering open fields and enclosed by drystone walls, delightful gardens are mainly laid to lawn with flagged seating terrace, mature planted borders, and small pond. There is also a small orchard.
Within the garden there is a charming clematis-covered pig hull, which is currently used for storage.
Stable Cottage
Currently used as a holiday let and situated to the west of the farmhouse, a detached stone and slate cottage with lovely character features. The fitted kitchen has base and wall units with slate worktops and integral appliances; the cosy sitting room has a wood burning stove set on a flagged hearth. To the first floor and all open to the apex is a dual aspect double bedroom with store cupboard, a single bedroom and a bathroom. A cobbled seating area is to the front.
Outbuildings
To the east of the farmhouse is an attached traditional stone and slate two storey barn (gross external area GEA 85'3 x 32'8 [26m x 10m]). Within the barn there is a laundry/utility room with power, light, water, large pot sink and boiler. There are byres and a workshop and a wonderful summer room (GEA 29'5 x 21'3 [9m x 6.5m])with wood burner, decorative tiled floor, French windows and splendid panoramic views down the valley.
In the main barn, two open riser staircases lead to galleried mezzanines. The mezzanine to the north has an original studded door, which provides access to the drawing room. Planning consent
was obtained for the creation of an internal room, which could have been accessed via the drawing room - this has since lapsed but gives food for thought for the future (subject to obtaining further planning consent).
Timber framed shed (GEA 45'9 x 23 [14m x 7m]) - situated to the east of the barn with three sets of doors, currently used for machinery and implement storage. Timber stables are to the rear. Attached to the barn is a single storey lean-to with stables and store.
Land
Bounded by dry stone walls and in good heart, there are three parcels of pastureland. The main parcel, 8.48 acres (3.43 hectares) is situated to the north of the farmhouse. There is also an additional parcel, 1.19 acres (0.48 hectares) to the southeast with access off the A683 and a small croft, 0.02 acres (0.01 hectares) to the south.
The land would be of interest to those with an aspiration to own a smallholding, equestrian use, diversification projects or an interest in nature and conservation.
Retreat from the hustle and bustle to your own slice of the English countryside.
