Nestled in the heart of the Eden Valley, the picturesque village of Ormside offers a rare blend of rural tranquillity and stunning Cumbrian scenery, all within easy reach of the historic market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland. Surrounded by rolling countryside and enjoying a peaceful community atmosphere, Ormside is an ideal location for those seeking a slower pace of life while remaining well connected to local amenities, schools, and transport links.

The village is rich in character, with charming period properties, scenic walking routes, and panoramic views towards the Pennines and Lake District fells. Appleby-in-Westmorland, just a short drive away, provides a range of independent shops, cafés, pubs, and everyday services, along with rail connections on the Settle–Carlisle line.

The accommodation is spacious all on one level. There is a large entrance hall leading through to a lovely, bright open plan living/dining space with a newly fitted kitchen. There is also a cosy lounge with a beautiful featured sand stone surround log burner. There are three bedrooms, a shower room and house bathroom. The accommodation is flexible and could be extended into the integral garage if desired.

The property is presented in excellent order throughout, with the current owners having clearly taken great pride in maintaining and caring for the home over the years. More recently, they have installed a brand new fitted kitchen, further enhancing their home. The property also benefits from oil fired central heating and PV solar panels, which provide a FIT income.

Externally is a private driveway which provides ample parking and continues up the side of the property to access the stables, outbuildings and land.

At the front is a lovely, lawn garden with well established flower beds and rockery style garden. To the rear is a pleasant patio, currently gravelled with a vegetable plot and greenhouse. This could be further landscaped if required.

An impressive covered yard area provides access to the five exceptionally well-kept stables, all of which benefit from both electric and water supplies. Ideal for day-to-day equestrian or smallholding use. Completing the range of outbuildings is a sizable steel portal frame building which offers fantastic versatility as a workshop, agricultural building or extensive storage space.

The land extends to 1.65 acres (approx.) of good quality agricultural land, this is ring fenced. Additionally, there are 4.6 acres (approx.) of meadow / pasture land available by SEPARATE NEGOTIATION, this is available in three separate lots.

Rectory Farm Bungalow is a rare opportunity to acquire a great small holding or equestrian property in a quiet yet easily accessible location.
