Appleton Farmhouse
is a distinctive Edwardian farmhouse which occupies a prominent position
within
this sought after National Park Village. Built in 1902 by the Shepherd family
who occupied Appleton Farmhouse until 1949. The Shepherd family also built The
Village
School (now the Appleton village Hall), Appleton Hall (opposite) and the
neighbouring
Church. The property showcases some handsome original features including
fireplaces
to several rooms, encaustic tiled floors, moulded ceiling roses and coving and
exhibits the generous proportions and high ceilings typical to the era.
Today, the
property has been in the same hands for almost 40 years and has been
significantly
improved over this time. Double glazed in around 2004 with a fully renewed
central heating system in 2011, the property was completely re - roofed around
15
years ago, partially rewired 8 years ago and fitted with Solar pv panels which
on
average have provided an annual rhi of £425 although has been as high as £474
pa
in the past, as well as supplementing the electricity. The house is well
insulated
throughout, including major insultation works to the interior of every
exterior
wall in 2014 and as such scores well for period building with an EPC score of
C70, making it an unusually efficient property to run. Recently updated and
improved
but still with plenty of potential for a new purchaser to shape this unique
property’s next chapter.
The accommodation is
arranged over three floors and has an exceptionally versatile layout, with a
wealth of different ways the house could be used; either as a sizable main
residence, subdivided up to cater for an extended family or dependants or
potentially as a
guest house or bed and breakfast. In all 3, 724 square feet which comprises in
brief; to the ground floor, entrance hall with handsome encaustic tiled floor,
a
pair of front facing reception rooms, one with multifuel stove and the other
with
an open fire set within the original fire surrounds. Rear hall, living room
with multi fuel stove, large breakfast kitchen with a range of modern units
and
Aga cooker. To the rear hallway is a back porch, wet room and workshop/home
office.
In all there are
up to seven bedrooms, all of which are generous doubles, over the top two
floors. On the first floor are two front bedrooms, one with an en - suite shower
room the other with access to a Jack & Jill bathroom. To the rear are two
further bedrooms and two bathrooms. To the second floor are three further
bedrooms
and a modern house shower room.
Within the grounds
is a substantial stone built former barn and agricultural building. Although
badly
damaged by a fire around 30 years ago the structure offers the potential and
possibility to reimagine the space to suit any number of uses; subject to
obtaining
any necessary planning consents. Pre application advice has been sought in
2023 and received a favourable response for
redevelopment. Plans had been drawn up prior to the fire for an ambitious
redevelopment
and can be made available.
The house itself sits within
grounds of almost 0. 25 of an acre and provides a mature garden and potential
to
create parking via the access to the southern gable end.
A grass paddock
measuring almost an acre is available for sale by separate negotiation and is
only
a short walk away; approximately 400 metres.
