Description

This Grade II Listed detached former farmhouse is set on the edge of Shap and offers four double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room and family bathroom. The accommodation retains historic features and is presented as a refurbishment project, with scope to reconsider the interiors while respecting the building's listed status. The grounds include a lawn, pond, double garage with adjoining loose box, and a separate outbuilding containing a workshop and further loose box. The listing notes that water and electricity are connected to the outbuilding. It also refers to previous planning for a bungalow and the remains of a former cottage incorporated into the garage and loose box. Any future building or change of use would require the relevant consents, and the status and scope of previous planning should be checked. The property is less than a mile from Shap village centre and a short drive from Junction 39 of the M6. The listing describes views towards High Street and Kidsty Pike and notes Shap's position on the Coast to Coast walking route. Mains electricity, water, gas and drainage are stated. Flood defences were installed following Storm Desmond in 2015, according to the listing.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Lyndene has the bones of a substantial character home: a double-fronted former farmhouse with four bedrooms, two reception rooms, a generous plot and useful garage, workshop and outbuildings. The slate-roofed exterior appears broadly intact in the available views, but the interior is a major project, with worn finishes, staining and apparent damage across several rooms, alongside a very dated kitchen and bathroom. The overgrown garden and deteriorated outbuilding areas also offer scope to reshape the outside space.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the farmhouse’s generous four-bedroom, two-reception layout into a characterful family home, updating the dated kitchen and bathroom as part of the transformation.
  • Restore the overgrown garden and make better use of the garage, workshop and outbuildings, subject to condition and any required consents.
  • Explore the property’s stated previous bungalow planning and former cottage footprint, while verifying current permissions and feasibility before relying on development potential.

Key risks

  • Worn finishes, visible staining and apparent ceiling damage in several rooms, plus neglected garden and outbuilding areas, make this a full-gut-scale programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow £65,000–£120,000 and time for the work.
  • The Grade II listing and any proposals for a separate dwelling or other development will require careful checks on consents and feasibility.
