Description
Nestled in a quiet village amidst open fells on the edge of the National Park, The Laithes is a characterful and substantial Westmorland farmhouse, believed in part to date back to the late eighteenth century. Occupying a delightful rural setting with far-reaching, unspoilt views, this charming property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional Lakeland home with significant potential.

Presented in well-maintained order throughout, the accommodation is arranged around a welcoming central hallway, leading to both a cosy sitting room and a spacious principal living room. From here, the home flows naturally into the kitchen dining room, creating an inviting space for everyday family life and entertaining alike.

The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook over the surrounding countryside, together with a well-appointed four-piece family bathroom.

Having been thoughtfully extended over the years, the farmhouse now forms an attractive horseshoe-shaped courtyard arrangement. Adjoining the main house is a range of traditional stone-built barns, stores, and outbuildings which offer excellent versatility and, subject to the necessary consents, may provide exciting opportunities for conversion into additional accommodation, holiday lets, home-working space, or ancillary uses.

The property occupies a generous plot, with enclosed gardens to the side and rear providing attractive outdoor space from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and stunning fellside views.

Ideally positioned for access to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, The Laithes enjoys the best of rural living while remaining conveniently close to the village of Shap, which offers a good range of everyday amenities. Excellent transport connections via the A6 and M6 provide easy access to Penrith to the north and Kendal to the south.

A delightful period farmhouse in a sought-after rural setting, offering character, space, and considerable potential. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the location, views, and opportunities on offer.
