SUMMARY
If one is seeking peace and tranquillity in a
wonderful idyllic location, with the opportunity to renovate a
substantial period farmhouse, then Nether Bainbridge is
the ideal property. Nestling at the end of a farm access
track, shared by the neighbouring farm, the property is on
the easterly slopes of the Lune Valley, with a massive
attraction of about 300meters of fishing on the River Lune.
Inspection of this highly desirable country retreat, between
the Howgill Fells and the River Lune, is strongly
recommended to fully appreciate the undoubted charm, but
most significantly the wonderful opportunity to restore a
farmhouse to suit individual requirements and tastes.
Farmhouse Kitchen, Dining Room, Sitting Room,
Utility Room;
Five Bedrooms, Two Bathrooms;
Former wash house converted to a pump room;
Two detached, stone and slate barns in ‘derelict’
condition.
Delightful lawns and wooded grounds including a
stream;
Approximately 2.24 acres of enclosed gardens and
grounds;
About 300m of single bank fishing on the River
Lune within a few minutes walk;
Sedbergh, with all the associated amenities, is a
short drive.
LOCATION
From junction 37 on the M6: take the A684 towards
Sedbergh. Proceed for 2.9 miles, go across a narrow
(single track) walled bridge over the River Lune. Go 0.4
miles, then turn left up a very narrow lane with no signpost,
marked 6’6” wide. Go left at the T junction (carrying
straight on). From the T junction, Nether Bainbridge is the
third track on the left – it is 0.7 miles from the T junction.
The track is sign posted ‘Syke’ and ‘Nether Bainbridge’ on
the gate. Go down the track. Come to Syke first and carry
on through the farmyard bearing slightly right. Proceed
down to the bottom of the track.
