Underhill Farm is in the quiet setting of Stalling Busk.
Stalling Busk is located at the southern tip of Semerwater—Yorkshire’s second largest natural lake and a haven for wildlife and wildflowers. The village features a small, historic church and offers a tranquil rural setting. Just 3 miles away is the village of Bainbridge, which provides a primary school, chapel, pub, butcher's shop, garage, and convenience store. The bustling market town of Hawes is only 5 miles away, offering a wider range of amenities including a doctor's surgery, school, and various shops and services.
Underhill Farm is a substantial and characterful Dales property, full of traditional features and rustic charm. From exposed beams and stone floors to a classic stone-built pantry with original slate shelves—once used to store and mature cheese—this home is steeped in heritage.
Offering generous accommodation across two floors, the ground floor includes two welcoming reception rooms, both with traditional open fires, and a spacious farmhouse kitchen with access to the walk-in pantry. A separate utility room and a downstairs family bathroom add practicality, while a boot room with a large bedroom above forms a connected annexe with independent access—ideal for flexible use.
Upstairs, a light-filled open bedroom leaading to another three double bedrooms and a second family bathroom.
The property requires modernisation, with no central heating currently installed. An oil-fired Aga is in place for cooking and provides hot water, and the oil tank is double-bunded.
Underhill Farm is set within its own grounds, enclosed by dry stone walls. To the front is a large open grassed area of common land.
There is a public track from village, down to the lake which passes between house and south barn.
There are two stone barns on the property, both of which have pre-planning permission for conversion into additional dwellings.
To the rear, a large lawned garden is split into three sections with breathtaking views over the open countryside towards Semerwater. An ideal place to relax and take in the peaceful Dales setting.
Set in a quiet and desirable rural location, Underhill Farm is ideal for families seeking a lifestyle change, or those looking to create a multi-generational home or invest in a holiday let opportunity with scope to convert existing outbuildings.
