This traditional Westmorland farmhouse, nestled in the desirable village of Great Asby, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with substantial renovation potential. The house boasts spacious interiors, original period features such as timber sash windows and exposed stonework, along with a recently renewed main roof. Thought to date from the early 19th century, it showcases a classic Georgian/Victorian double-fronted design with two reception rooms, a kitchen dining area featuring a Rayburn range, and four bedrooms—including one accessed via a charming dressing room.
The adjoining Grade II listed barn and outbuildings add an exciting layer of opportunity for expansion or conversion (subject to necessary permissions), whether for enhancing the existing living space or creating an independent dwelling suitable for holiday rentals or multigenerational use. Notably, planning permission has been granted to renovate the former byre into versatile spaces such as a garage or home office.
Set within the scenic Yorkshire Dales National Park, this property offers gardens bordered by traditional drystone walls and convenient off-road parking. While enjoying community amenities in Great Asby—like a primary school and local pub—the location also benefits from nearby Appleby’s wider facilities and transport links. The need for modernization throughout is apparent, indicating an excellent investment opportunity for any prospective buyer willing to undertake renovations that can significantly enhance value and livability.
