6 Bedroom Detached House

The Location

Set within the village of Farleton, Old Bank House enjoys a position that feels quietly rural while remaining well placed for day-to-day connections. This is a small, established community on the edge of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), where open countryside and far-reaching views form part of everyday life. It’s a setting that naturally appeals to those looking to step away from busy town centres, with a slower pace and a strong sense of space. Walks begin from the doorstep, with nearby fells and lanes offering plenty to explore, while the surrounding villages add to the character of the area.

Despite its peaceful feel, Farleton is well connected. The M6 is just a short drive away, making travel towards Lancaster, Kendal and further afield straightforward. Nestled within the Lune Valley, a wider range of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, along with everyday essentials, can be found nearby, including The Fenwick Arms, while local pubs and village amenities add to the appeal closer to home. This is a location that suits buyers wanting a balance between countryside living and accessibility, whether as a main residence or a place to retreat to at the end of the day.

The Property

A six-bedroom home designed with multi-generational living in mind, Old Bank House offers a layout that feels both generous and considered. It’s a home that adapts easily

At its heart sits a beautifully crafted, bespoke kitchen, hand-painted and designed in a classic style that will stand the test of time. Quartz worktops, a Rangemaster and a substantial central island create a space that feels both refined and welcoming

The kitchen opens into the dining area, creating a natural flow that works effortlessly for family life and entertaining alike. This leads through to the garden room, where the home truly opens up. A glass ceiling draws in light throughout the day, while bi-fold doors that fold fully back on both sides allow the space to connect completely with the gardens. In the summer, it becomes an extension of the outdoors; in cooler months, it offers a bright, sheltered space where the surrounding greenery remains part of the view.

Two reception rooms add further flexibility. The sitting room, with its wood-burning stove, offers a relaxed and comfortable space for evenings in, while the drawing room provides a quieter setting with an open fire and views stretching out in three directions.

Upstairs, six well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged across two landings, creating a layout that lends itself perfectly to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or working from home. One section offers a degree of independence, while the main bedroom enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views, creating a calm and private retreat. Two well-finished bathrooms, including a four-piece suite, complete the upper floor.

The gardens are a defining feature of this home and add a real sense of lifestyle to everyday living. Generous and well-established, they wrap around the property, offering space to relax, play and entertain. A natural stream flows gently through the grounds, bringing a constant, calming soundtrack that enhances the peaceful setting. Raised vegetable beds and established fruit trees provide the opportunity to grow your own, while open lawns offer space for family life to unfold. Whether it’s children exploring, summer gatherings with friends or simply sitting out and enjoying the surroundings, the gardens feel like an extension of the home itself.

While connected to mains water, the property also benefits from its own natural spring
