A GRADE-II listed farmhouse with cottage and barn has come onto the market for the first time in more than a century.

Cross Haw is idyllically located in Cautley, at the foot of the Howgills, just two-and-a-half miles from Sedbergh.

It is on the market with Scott Bainbridge for offers in the region of £650,000.

This early 18th century property has four bedrooms, and there is also a one-bedroom cottage, and an adjoining stone-built barn with planning permission to extend the main house.

The agents, Scott Bainbridge, describe the slate-and-stone-flag roof barn as "an amazing space" which offers "a great opportunity to make this into something special".

Cross Haw was last sold in 1892 and is set in around 0.73 acres of garden with a garage/workshop. There is also the option to buy a modern general-purpose building and livestock building together with up to 25.61 acres of further land and fishing rights.

Highlights of the main farmhouse include the oak-panelled wall in the reception hall, described as original muntin-and-plank panelled partitioning, attached to beams on both floors. There is an original quarter-turn staircase with closed string-and-plank balusters, and plank doors.

The large, comfortable lounge has lovely views of the Howgill Fells, and an open fireplace, while the dining room is "truly original and imposing", with its beams, stone-flagged floor and open-fire range from Altham & Son of Penrith.

Cross Haw has a private spring water supply, septic tank drainage, mains electricity and oil-fired central heating. See www.scottbainbridge.co.uk for more.
