Orchard House is an attractive mid 19th century Cumbrian Farm House, situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Newton Arlosh. The property has wonderful views over open countryside towards the Lake District Fells on the south side and the Solway Firth towards the Galloway hills to the North.

The property was extensively renovated in the early 00s. the roof is original and in a good state of repair, the damp proofing was installed in 2001. Fully rewired and plumbed in 2000 and the oil central heating system was upgraded in 2019 with a new boiler. New windows were installed in 2011 and the doors have been done in the last 4 years.

 Newton Arlosh is situated on the road between Abbeytown and Kirkbride, bordered on one side by moss (peat) land and on the other by tidal salt marsh.  The marsh is a SSSI (Site of special scientific interest) which is a site the government deems best to represent our natural heritage in terms of their flora, animals and geology.

The property has been extensively renovated in recent years while retaining many original features. The farmhouse has good sized living accommodation with two south facing reception rooms one set up as a living room with a log burning stove and the other as a formal dining room with open fire, ceiling rose and built in cupboards either side of the chimney breast. The north facing dining kitchen has fitted base units, space for a table and cooker built into the large feature fireplace. The office/utility also facing north has built in units and plumbing for the washing machine.

Externally to the front of the property is a small garden with flower and shrub beds. A gated entrance leads to a concrete yard to the rear of the house and farm buildings and land beyond. Immediately behind the house there is a garage building with electric roller doors, an oil tank room, double car port and store room. Attached at the rear is a U shaped range of livestock and storage buildings around a mature orchard. Across the yard is a brick built barn and stable block, and a Dutch barn with lean-to storage.

An 8 bay former cubicle shed is now laid out as open storage, it is a steal frame with brick walls and Yorkshire boarding under an asbestos roof. Beyond the buildings there is a well stocked orchard leading to a duck pond and the land. This runs to approx. 6 acres (2.4ha) and is divided into several well fenced paddocks and there is a mains water supply to the fields. The orchards are stocked with Pear, Damson, Plum, Cherry and Apple.

On both the West and East elevations are traditional barns which offer scope for development potential (subject to planning) to extend the property or to convert into an annex or separate dwelling, some structural renovations to these has been started. The main attached barn boasts a wonderful picture window.

Please note an asbestos survey has not been carried out on the property and no responsibility of such findings will be taken by the vendor.
