Selah House EPC

"A beautifully renovated farmhouse, finished to a high specification, with a range of outbuildings and stunning views"

The Property
Selah House is a beautifully restored Georgian farmhouse which has been entirely refurbished over recent years and now provides the perfect combination of period features with a modern specification. The property has been extended into part of the adjoining barn, linked by a fabulous oak framed glazed structure which has created the centrepiece of the house. The extensive works have been carried out to a high standard and have resulted in very impressive, charming home. In addition, planning permission has been approved to convert the attached stone barn into fantastic annexe accommodation.

The front door leads into a welcoming hallway with stone flagged floor re-laid over underfloor heating which continues into the inner hall and along to a library/snug with panelled walls, open fire and window seat, perfectly placed to enjoy the view. A traditional farmhouse kitchen has a timeless feel with an Aga which includes electric and gas modules, bespoke fitted cupboards and tiled floor over underfloor heating. There is a traditional Cumbrian larder which also has the stone flagged floor along with stone shelving, perfect for keeping food cool and fresh. Off the kitchen is a utility room which can double up as a butler’s pantry as it has secondary access to the dining room. This bright, dual aspect room which has panelled walls and multi fuel stove could also be a spacious guest suite, having a stylish shower room with sauna adjoining.

The two-storey oak framed link forms the main sitting room with wood burning stove and doors to the sun terrace. This fantastic light and airy space is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the views across the Eden valley to the Lakeland Fells. Access to the first floor is via the original Georgian staircase which leads to three double bedroom, one of which is currently used as a dressing room, served by a sumptuous, recently fitted family bathroom. The first floor room in the oak framed link is a wonderful gallery which is ideal for use as an arts and crafts room or just a great space to relax. This room leads to the principal bedroom suite which has lovely original exposed beams and modern en-suite shower room, along with a balcony with glazed double doors.

Planning permission is in place (Westmorland & Furness Council planning ref. 22/0508) to convert the attached stone barn to create a two bedroom annexe. The plans include a kitchen/dining room, shower room and bedroom to the ground floor, with a living room, home office and second bedroom on the first floor.

Externally
To the front of the house is a gravelled driveway providing parking and leading to an enclosed courtyard of substantial stone outbuildings. A mature copse underplanted with bluebells is situated to the side of the house and leads through a door in the garden wall to a formal parterre with a variety of shrubs and plants. A sheltered sun terrace is ideally placed for access from the sitting room and enjoys far reaching views over much of the county. To the rear of the barns are garden areas which are mainly laid to lawn with various species of trees and fruit, all bordered by traditional dry stone walling.

The range of traditional outbuildings offer excellent storage, studio space, three space car port and the potential to create additional residential accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. A separate home office is situated to the first floor and provides a peaceful place to work, away from the main house.
