West Rigg presents a rare opportunity to acquire a traditional sandstone farmhouse in the tranquil Eden Valley village of Long Marton. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle, this property boasts stunning countryside views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for those seeking a renovation project with substantial investment potential.
This characterful farmhouse features original architectural elements alongside modern conveniences, set against a backdrop of rolling hills. The house is accessible via a shared farm road and includes multiple parking options and an expansive garden area, which benefits from southwest exposure for optimal light.
The property includes an attached two-storey barn that currently serves as storage but is ripe for transformation into additional living space or even a studio—subject to planning permissions. The existing layout offers a strong foundation, with three well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs and generous communal areas on the ground floor that can be re-imagined to enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
While some updates have been made, such as underfloor heating in the porch and diner kitchen area, further modernization is recommended throughout the home to fully realize its potential. This space could be rejuvenated to reflect contemporary tastes while preserving its intrinsic charm.
Located within a tight-knit community, Long Marton provides convenient access to essential amenities while maintaining an authentic country lifestyle—making it equally appealing for families or investors looking for rental opportunities. With no onward chain, West Rigg is positioned perfectly between two stunning national parks, enhancing its attractiveness as both a home and an investment.
