Long Marton, Appleby-in-westmorland, CA16

Believed to date back to the 1700's, this beautiful detached residence is located within a substantial plot of approx 2 acres, with the original byre and excellent outhouses and workshop, along with a substantial garage. Positioned to enjoy incredible views, this versatile property offers up to 5 bedrooms and is generously proportioned throughout.

Nestled just outside the village of Long Marton, the expansive grounds house an array of delights including the beautiful pond, generous lawns, meadow gardens, orchard, substantial fruit cage enclosing a range of fruits and the most wonderful views towards the Pennines and surrounding countryside.

Immaculately maintained and well presented throughout, Edgefield House displays a wonderful combination of period charm with a complementary range of modern facilities. With accommodation briefly comprising spacious entrance hall with original door leading into the generous living room and further door into a beautiful conservatory, from the living room there is an inner snug with door to a cloakroom/WC.
