Low Green, Great Musgrave
DESCRIPTION
Low Green is a rare example of a Westmoreland Cross Passage house, believed to date from the 1650's,
in the rural village of Great Musgrave in the Upper Eden Valley. The original farmhouse has been
renovated and extended by the current owners to create a spacious home of exemplary standard both
in design & quality as well as the high level of insulation and fuel efficiency enhanced by a dual zoned
heating system permitting different parts of the house to operate at different temperatures.
Great Musgrave is a predominantly farming village, in an elevated position giving panoramic views
over the Vale of Eden and the Northern Pennines. Local shops, primary school, post office, hotels,
public houses and excellent medical practice with in-house pharmacy are all easily within reach. At
Kirkby Stephen and Brough there are regular bus services to Kendal and Penrith and easy access to
the Carlisle Settle Railway at Kirkby Stephen and Appleby stations. Secondary schools are either the
highly regarded Kirkby Stephen or Appleby Grammar schools. The village is just three miles from the
popular market town of Kirkby Stephen which has a variety of amenities including supermarket,
interesting shops, bookshop, library, tearooms, banks, hotels, public houses, restaurants and various
sporting facilities. It is close to the A66 for Scotch Corner (A1[M]) and Penrith (M6), the Lakes and
Carlisle and to the south via Kirkby Stephen to Tebay (M6) for Kendal and Lancaster.
From the front of the house a public footpath drops down to the River Eden which flows by the
beautiful Church of St Theobalds (150 yards from Low Green) and offers fishing, picnic facilities, and
walks. There are also many other beautiful walks from the village.
The house itself is a delightful family home. The entrance porch, with an impressive oak door, leads
through to the fully renovated original cross passage with the attractive and practical slate floor that
continues throughout all of the downstairs rooms. The drawing room is superb with character beams,
niches and fireplaces at both ends, offering formal dining and sitting room areas. The farmhouse
kitchen is a sociable living space with quality solid oak units, beautiful granite worktops and an
exposed beam ceiling. Off the kitchen is a large integral barn which doubles as a utility, workshop and
large storage area. This could easily be modified to provide self-catering accommodation or further
living space if required. To the other side of the kitchen is a pretty snug sitting room, looking out to the
West with lovely views, which could be easily be divided to provide a 5th bedroom, using the
downstairs shower room if required..
The first floor has a gorgeous Master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe, which
enjoys panoramic views over the field to the hills. There are three further double bedrooms and a
house bathroom as well as ample storage cupboards.
Outside, the house is approached off the lane by a private, gated driveway, leading to ample parking.
There is a beautifully designed workshop or stable to the front of the house, purposely situated to the
front of the double barn doors, to allow linking to the main house, if required, subject to planning
approval. There is an attractive walled front garden with lawn, borders and trees.
To the rear of the property is the land, about 2.5 acres in all, which is good pasture land, currently used
for horses. This land is available via separate negotiation. There is also a flagged patio area to enjoy the
views in the afternoon & evening sunshine.
Low Green is an exceptional family home with B&B or self-catering potential. Viewing is highly
recommended to appreciate the location, space and opportunity.
