Hallings, Church Road, Greystoke, CA11 0TW

Opportunities like Hallings do not come along often.

This is a handsome detached stone-built period farmhouse in the historic village of Greystoke, sitting close to the church with a south facing rural outlook to the rear — and it brings with it two things that rarely arrive together: A characterful family home ready to be enjoyed, and genuine, tangible development potential.

The house itself offers well-proportioned accommodation across two floors, with three reception rooms, three double bedrooms and the sort of warm, characterful period features that reward sympathetic improvement.

Surrounding it is a substantial range of stone-built outbuildings with scope for a variety of uses, including residential conversion, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent.

The extensive mature side garden, meanwhile, offers potential for infill residential development, again subject to planning. Greystoke needs little introduction.

One of the area's most storied villages — castle, church and green — it sits on the fringe of the Lake District National Park while remaining wonderfully convenient: Approximately five miles west of Penrith with its full range of services, rail links and access to Junction 40 of the M6, five miles from Ullswater at Pooley Bridge, and fourteen miles from Keswick.

The village itself offers a church, convenience store with post office, a well-regarded public house, primary school and swimming pool — a genuinely complete village life, which is rarer than it should be.
