Description

SITUATION
Marton House offers a perfect balance between country living and excellent connectivity. The property, which lies in the attractive village of Long Marton surrounded by unspoilt Cumbrian countryside, has spectacular views to Cross Fell and the North Pennines, and to the Lake District. The house lies in a well screened and sheltered position on the edge of the village and is approached through private gates which lead to a sweeping driveway.

Neighbouring villages include Brampton and Dufton which, together with the nearby market town of Appleby-in Westmorland, offer a wide range of amenities including public houses, primary and secondary schools, shops and post office. Both the Lake District National Park and Yorkshire Dales National Park are within easy reach offering numerous leisure and sporting opportunities. Long Marton is well-positioned with swift access onto the A66 connecting to Penrith, the M6 and the West Coast mainline, with regular train services to London Euston in little over 3 hours to the west, and to Scotch Corner and the A1 to the east.

DESCRIPTION
Marton House sits in an elevated position at the western edge of Long Marton village and is approached along a private gated driveway leading to a traditional gravel carriage sweep and portico. The house is a beautiful example of a Georgian manor house with well-proportioned south facing principal rooms retaining many attractive period and architectural features.

The house lies within extensive, mature and well screened landscaped gardens including a small lake beyond which lies the farmland which includes gently undulating grass and arable land and grassland.

In all, the estate extends to approximately 48 acres but is offered for sale as a whole with two additional lots also available to purchase.

In addition to the principal house, there is an adjoining former coach house with a further three-bedrooms, plus a connecting two-bedroom cottage providing opportunities to generate income from holiday lets or use as offices/additional accommodation or by family members.

MARTON HOUSE
Marton House is an attractive Georgian manor house built of local red sandstone under a slate roof with a handsome entrance portico. The house was built by the renowned north east architect Ignatius Bonomi in the early 1800s. Although the property is not listed, many period features have been retained enhancing what is a well-proportioned family house. Internally the total accommodation, including cottage and coach house, extends to over 9,000 sq ft as shown on the floorplan.

The principal accommodation is arranged over two floors. The ground floor includes: reception hall, entered via the portico with period fanlight, leading into the drawing room, sitting room, library, dining kitchen, orangery with french doors, two pantries, office, downstairs WC and cellars. Two staircases lead to the first floor which comprises five double bedrooms, four of which have en-suite bathrooms plus a three piece family bathroom suite. Adjoining the principal accommodation via an interconnecting door are a three bedroom coach house and two bedroom cottage.

COTTAGE & COACH HOUSE
Marton House adjoins the Coach House and Cottage via interconnecting doors. The Coach House consists of three double bedrooms (one en-suite), a spacious and impressive double height living room and two further rooms. The self-contained cottage is arranged over a single floor and consists of two bedrooms, kitchen and dining room and a sitting room. Both properties have external doors away to the east, which can provide discreet access away from the main property.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The southern elevation of the property has a gravel area and carriage sweep, which surrounds a significant lawn area, with a bank of mature trees that shelter and frame the property. The grounds include wonderful specimen trees, walled and terraced areas as well as a restored pond area and folly, bound by substantial sandstone walls. To the east and south the property opens onto the farmland providing uninterrupted views of the Pennines.

GARAGING & OUTBUILDINGS
Beneath the cottage there are four garages and the former tack room, with a substantial area of hard standing. Adjoining this area is a folly and ornamental pond leading down to a large pond with a small island. A separate gardener’s shed and a further small shed are nearby.

LAND & BUILDING
The land totals approximately 40 acres of arable and grassland, mainly formed of Grade 3 soils typical to the area, as identified as Lots 1a and 1b in the sale plan.

Lot 1a includes a large agricultural barn and grass paddock which together total 11.29 acres, perfectly suited to equestrian or amenity uses in connection with the residential properties.

Lot 1b sits immediately adjacent to Lot 1, and adds a further 29.53 acres of arable and grassland, which with the core of Lot 1 and the estate grounds extends in all to 47.62 acres. Lot 1b can be accessed by a private track leading south, therefore can be farmed separately from the core estate. These parcels are bound by open countryside along the northern, eastern and southern boundaries.
