About this property
An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire an enchanting detached Grade II listed thatched Cumbrian longhouse occupying an idyllic approximately three-quarters of an acre site with beautifully mature gardens in a delightful rural setting and with an outlook to open countryside.

This unique property retains an abundance of remarkable features including exposed beams, cruck beams, plank doors, window shutters, stone flagged floors, an Inglenook fireplace and a lovely stone lintel of 1689 over the main entrance door.
