The Property
Lowburn Farm and included outbuildings form part of a former Dales farmstead.
The property was the subject of a restoration twelve years ago. It was
stripped back to four walls. The roof, roof timbers and chimney stacks were
replaced. The floor joists and internal timbers were replaced. The plumbing
and electrics were fully renewed. The ground floor has stone floors.
Connections to the sewer, mains water, electricity and telephone are new.
Reclaimed materials were used where possible and many of the original features
were kept when uncovered. A high level of installation was installed to the
roof, outside walls and floor. Replacement windows are in a maintenance free
PVC but sash style. The exterior of the house was repointed and has the
benefit of heritage cast iron guttering. The boundary walls have all been
rebuilt. The extensive works carried out should provide many years of low - cost
enjoyment of the property.
A flagstone path leads through the garden to the front door and the entrance
lobby with the reception rooms either side. These face south and have window
seats. Both have exposed stone walls, flagstone floors and ceiling beams. The
sitting room has a fixed oak dresser to the left of an inglenook fireplace
housing a multifuel stove. The kitchen has a farmhouse feel with fixed seating
allowing everyday dining and a modern energy efficient electric Aga. There is
a utility room off the kitchen with space for white goods and this leads to a
WC.
There are three double bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom has
two fitted wardrobes. The en - suite features a freestanding roll - top bath. Also
on this floor is a shower room with walk - in shower.
The second floor is approached via a door from the landing and up a bespoke
oak staircase. The attic has exposed roof timbers and offers additional
bedroom or living space.
Externally
The property has gardens to the front, side and rear. There is a large hay
barn adjoining the house. The property has an extensive range of outbuildings
providing a number of uses and potential. The hay barn and the double garage
have been fully refurbished including new floors, timbers and the joinery has
been replaced. Both have light and power. The other outbuildings are in a good
state of repair.
A detached double garage offers convenience and practicality, and there is
also an area adjacent to the garage on which Lowburn Farm holds an easement
for additional parking.
