Beech Hill Farm

Longsleddale

A unique opportunity has arisen to purchase a superb, large, Victorian Farmhouse constructed in Lakeland stone and located just a short drive from the popular market town of Kendal. Beech Hill Farm is surrounded by stunning countryside, within the Lake District National Park and has extensive landscaped garden areas that also benefit from 3 useful, detached outbuildings. This magnificent property boasts a tranquil setting enjoying breath taking views across and down the Longsleddale Valley. Beech Hill Farm will appeal to a wide range of buyers given that it has plentiful and highly versatile accommodation set out over three floors with excellent reception space on the ground floor, four super double bedrooms on the first floor and the second floor is flexible guest accommodation that provides up to 2 extra bedrooms if required. Those who enjoy being at the heart of the countryside with its extensive wildlife and ever changing scenery will also be thrilled with the easy access into a principal market town and the Lake District.

Kendal is a very popular market town just to the south of the Lake District, where a good range of High Street and independent shops and restaurants, a selection of good schools and a variety of leisure activities for all can be found. The town centre is only 7 miles away and a 15 minute drive from Beech Hill Farm, and only a short drive from both M6 J36 and Oxenholme train station, which both provide excellent connectivity for commuting further afield.

There is further opportunity to purchase (by separate negotiation) 160 acres of mixed land with shooting and fishing rights if required.
