Gate House is a beautiful, detached cottage sat on a very generous plot in the hamlet of Outhgill, Mallerstang.
Outhgill is just 4 miles from the bustling market town of Kirkby Stephen and 12 miles from Sedbergh and Hawes. It is situated near the ancient Pendragon Castle. Kirkby Stephen has a good range of facilities including shops, schools, medical, sporting and cultural amenities. The rail station is on the famous Settle-Carlisle line and there are good rail links to the M6 & A66.
The property dates back to the 1820's and was the former Toll House. The current vendor has sympathetically updated the property. Works have included re-roofing and new chimney stacks, installation of new windows, a new kitchen and decorated throughout. They have also purchased more land to extend the outside space and installed a garden room which is currently used as a home office.
On the ground floor, there are two reception rooms both with multi fuel stoves and a bespoke kitchen with access out to the garden. Upstairs, there is a large landing that could be used as a home office, a family bathroom and three double bedrooms. One bedroom is accessed via the other so would also make a fantastic dressing room.
Outside, the garden is divided into two parts. One side is currently a lawn with mature shrubs and plants. There is also a wooden shed and greenhouse. The other side has vegetable beds and would be an ideal place to keep some hens.
The garth has been purchased by the current vendor and offers an excellent space for wildlife, with many nesting birds and a resident hedgehog. The garden is also an amazing place for stargazing, with some of the darkest skies in the National Park.
There are fruit trees, mature plants and a small beck that runs through. The current vendor keeps bees and this is the ideal habitat for them.
In addition to all this, there is a workshop housing the wood pellet boiler and a modern garden room has been installed which works very well as a home office. It would equally make a good craft room/ studio.
Gate House would make a superb family or active retirement home. It offers a peaceful location but with great access links. A viewing is highly recommended.
