This original property in the picturesque village of Eskdale Green occupies grounds of around four acres, which includes a large double-storey barn for conversion.

Randle How is a detached cottage in an area renowned as having some of the best scenery in the western Lake District. It now requires refurbishment and modernisation but offers huge potential in wonderful surroundings.

The adjoining double-storey barn and other outbuildings could be used to extend the main living accommodation or even generate an income stream through conversion into a holiday let with the relevant planning permissions.

The plot has an orchard, off-road parking and small garden which extends to around four acres of prime grazing land.

Accessing the accommodation via the entrance porch, a door leads into the lounge, which has exposed beams and even retains the original ceiling hooks. The room has an open fire set in a stone surround and a door leading to the dining room, which also benefits from an exposed wooden beam.

In the inner hallway, stairs lead to the first floor and there is a useful understairs storage cupboard.

There is a step down to the kitchen and another step down to the pantry, which has retained the original slabbed shelving.

A small window looks out to the back of the house.

The kitchen has base units with roll-edge work surfacing, a sink and drainer unit, plumbing for a washing machine, space for a cooker, a wooden door out to the back garden and door to the bathroom.

Stairs lead to the first floor where a window overlooks the gardens and land at the rear of the accommodation.

There is a store room/potential bedroom and three further bedrooms.

Externally the property is accessed down a lane with a handful of other neighbouring properties.

At the front is a lawned area with parking for up to three cars and a small orchard. A side access leads to a further lawned garden which extends to the back of the property.

There is about four acres of land which is separated into two fields and is perfect for grazing. The outbuildings include a double- storey barn which adjoins the cottage and a stone-built outbuilding which is attached to the barn.
