A true lifestyle change!

A detached four bedroom farmhouse of great character and charm in a wonderful rural position with newly built double garage and workshop together with gardens and enclosed field extending to approximately 11 acres.

Birchfield dates back in part to the mid 17th century, is approached via a private lane and overlooks fields and the dramatic Howgill fells. Whilst offering this peaceful rural setting the house is set between the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Park and is convenient for the market towns of Sedbergh and Kendal whilst only 5 minutes drive from junction 37 of the M6.

With children in mind, both Sedbergh and Casterton schools are within easy reach.



THE GOOD LIFE AWAITS!





The farmhouse itself has been refurbished by ourselves with attention to detail and tasteful retention of original features creating an excellent home of character and style and also incorporating modern appointments such as double glazing, oil central heating, solar panel heating and even planning consent to develop a wind turbine.
