Bolton Head Farmhouse Seascale, Bolton Head Farmhouse Seascale, Gosforth, CA20 1EW

A beautifully characterful stone farmhouse, dating back to 1692, sitting within approximately one acre of private grounds on the edge of Gosforth — one of the western Lake District's most loved villages.

With four generous bedrooms, bags of period charm and some of the finest fell views in Cumbria, Bolton Head Farmhouse is a remarkable family home in an extraordinary location.

Available as part of the wider Bolton Head Farm estate or as a standalone purchase.

Bolton Head Farmhouse is a wonderful part 17th-century Cumbrian farmhouse filled with character and many original features.

Presented to an immaculate standard, this 4 bedroom home offers turn-key accommodation with flexible rooms and an abundance of space.

The layout flows naturally from room to room, with the kitchen sitting at the heart of the home — a proper farmhouse kitchen which is sociable and practical.

A comfortable sitting room provides space to relax and unwind, whilst a separate snug makes the most of the property's entertaining potential.

A large utility room & cellar complete the accommodation, providing the everyday functionality that busy family life demands.

Four well-proportioned double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor. Master bedroom is en-suite plus a generous family bathroom.

Each room enjoys the benefit of the outstanding surrounding views, and all retain the sense of solid, honest quality that defines the building as a whole.

The property has been well maintained throughout and is ready to move into from day one.

There is, of course, scope for a new owner to update and improve to their own taste over time — the bones of the building are exceptional, and the potential is clear to see.

Approached by a private driveway into the rear yard, externally the farmhouse sits within approximately one acre of its own grounds — a lovely mix of established gardens, lawns, an abundance of parking and natural boundary planting.

The gardens are private and well-screened, giving the property a genuine sense of seclusion and retreat despite its accessible location.

The neighbouring property (also for sale) adds a sense of community in such a peaceful location. The outlook from the lawn and terrace is extraordinary.

The Wasdale Valley opens up to the east, with Scafell Pike and the great western fells forming a dramatic natural backdrop.

To the south, the South Lakes ridgeline extends across the horizon, and on clear days the Irish Sea shimmers to the west. This is a view you will never tire of.

Part of a detached stone outbuilding accompanies the farmhouse - a study, well insulated structure which currently serves as a study.

Its potential extends well beyond the current use as a home office: Subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, it offers genuine scope for conversion into annexe accommodation (STP).

In a National Park location, sympathetically designed conversions of this kind are increasingly well-regarded, and the buildings provide an excellent canvas.
