Fiddleback Farm, a distinguished Grade II* listed farmhouse dating back to 1709, offers a unique blend of historical charm and renovation potential. This pre-Georgian property features iconic circular architecture and sandstone construction, making it an exceptional find in Cumbria. Retaining much of its original character with exposed beams and stone detailing, the interior includes a versatile living space that currently serves as both a family residence and bed-and-breakfast accommodation. The expansive ground floor comprises multiple reception areas—each with character features—and two en-suite bedrooms for added convenience.
Moving to the first floor, three additional bedrooms are available, two of which include en-suite facilities, while a family bathroom services the third. Notably, the attached barn presents a significant opportunity for further development; though partly converted, it boasts high ceilings and has received planning permission for enhancements that would allow more natural light and additional amenities.
Surrounded by mature gardens and over 8.5 acres of land—including a 2.5-acre paddock—the property is well-suited for various uses such as equestrian activities or rural pursuits. The long private driveway leads to ample parking and storage options, including a detached stone barn ripe for new uses. With local amenities nearby and excellent transport links to Carlisle and beyond, Fiddleback Farm stands out as an attractive investment with substantial refurbishment scope to realize its full potential.
