Overview Sockenber Farm is an Eden Valley farm development on a nine acre site with three residential properties, land, ménage and a number of outbuildings, including a large stone barn with development potential. It offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of use. It is set on a hillside on the edge of pretty Eden Valley village of Kings Meaburn, surrounded by open countryside and having magnificent uninterrupted views, reaching Blencathra and the north Lake District fells. The country lane leading to the site is owned by the farm and provides access to the farmyard, paddock and the main four acre field. The three properties are set within the yard area, with ample space for parking. The main farmhouse is entered through one of two oak doors, hand crafted using trees from the site, one leading into a boot room and the other a formal entrance hall with Indian sandstone flooring. The entrance hall leads into a snug area with double sided wood burning stove, opening out onto the impressive kitchen extension. This contemporary, light filled space has architecturally striking exposed beams and angled ceiling, with wall-to-wall windows giving panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. From the dining area two sets of French door open the room out onto the garden patio area, with fire pit for alfresco dining and entertaining. The ground floor is completed by a sitting room with wood burning stove and stone surround and a downstairs shower room with utility area. The central hallway has door out to the garden and stairs to the first floor landing with feature Westmorland window. Off the landing are four good-sized bedrooms, with the front bedrooms having charming windows framing the superb views. The family bathroom has a stylish feature bath, walk-in shower and exposed stonework. Page 5 of 12

The Granary is the third property in the development with two bedrooms, three shower rooms, entrance utility area, dining-kitchen and sitting room with wood burning stove and patio doors opening out to a gravel seating area.
