Description

This well-placed stone farmhouse, accompanied by a versatile modern barn and additional outbuildings, is nestled within approximately 2.38 acres of land. Shodden Farmhouse, constructed around thirty years ago with local stone and a slate roof, currently offers a spacious reception hall and a sitting room featuring a picture window that captures stunning views alongside a wood-burning stove. The kitchen/dining area, which is generously sized, includes an array of panelled cabinets. The property comprises two double bedrooms on the first floor linked by the principal staircase, both boasting beautiful views and access to a family bathroom. The principal bedroom features its own en suite bathroom as well. A supplementary staircase leads from the hallway near the shower room and study/bedroom five to an additional bedroom. Recent planning permission (pending Natural England’s approval) provides exciting prospects for remodelling: potential expansions could include extending the sitting room, incorporating a bay window and creating a balcony for the master bedroom. Further enhancements may involve adding a utility room and designing an impressive galleried reception hall. Among its unique offerings is the Linhay, originally designed for livestock, with stone columns at the front that hints at redevelopment opportunities such as entertaining spaces or studios. Moreover, the single-storey pillared barn offers substantial space above for creative uses and even had previously lapsed planning permission for conversion into a three-bedroom residence. The primary advantage lies in the large agricultural barn built to high specifications, equipped with an electric roller door and mezzanine level—ideal for various uses like storage or possible equestrian activities. Externally, access via traditional gates leads through beautifully maintained grounds with ample parking space. A gravel path meanders past outdoor seating areas surrounded by lush gardens overlooking picturesque landscapes ripe for enhancement. The grounds also feature mature trees and potential areas suitable for eco-friendly projects like wildlife ponds.
