A stunning conversion of a historic former corn mill that is believed to

date back as far as 1475, Bideber Mill offers an exciting package set within

over an acre located close to the borders of the Yorkshire Dales National

Park. A fi ne example of excellent craftsmanship, the detached 4 bed

property has been fully renovated throughout and offers not only a private,

characterful home fi nished to a high standard but also potential business

opportunity with two options for holiday lets and a large workshop with

offi ce area and garaging. Surrounded by stunning landscaped gardens and

a backdrop of endless rolling countryside, Bideber Mill is the ultimate

private sanctuary complete with a picture perfect setting whilst offering

the self suffi ciency dream with its own vegetable garden, green house, fruit

orchard and adjoining approximate 7.5 acres of fi elds, ideal for a smallholding

which is available by separate negotiation.


Westhouse is a small hamlet located just over 2 miles from Ingleton village

and 5 miles from the popular market town of Kirkby Lonsdale. Whilst the

hamlet boasts scenic, rural surroundings, it is actually located within a mile

of the main A65, being just a short drive away from all the local amenities.

Nestled between the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Forest of

Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the location assures stunning

scenery. Walks can be enjoyed right from your doorstep, with a path leading

from the property boundary directly to the pretty village of Burton-In-

Lonsdale, just 20 minutes away on foot. Discerning purchasers will even

find themselves well placed for easy access to the Lake District National

Park, travelling north along the A65. Families will be delighted with the

choice of local schooling for all ages, there are nearby primary schools in

Ingleton, Leck and Kirkby Lonsdale: Casterton and Sedbergh offer the

choice of two Prep Schools and all are within easy access. The prestigious

Queen Elizabeth School is located in Kirkby Lonsdale, which boasts an

”outstanding” OFSTED rating.

Bideber Mill is approached via a long private driveway which passes under

a historic bridge and opens out into the expansive grounds of the property.

There is ample parking for several cars within various designated areas.

Access to the adjoining land, garage and workshop is by a separate gravel

roadway. The current owners use the west, former rear, entrance into the

main home, as their everyday entrance. This is conveniently located just

off the parking area. A partially glazed hardwood door opens into the light

and spacious entrance lobby, with high ceilings and painted exposed former

external stone walls- creating a fantastic feature to welcome you in to this

characterful home. The floors are finished with practical stone flags and

there is ample space for the storage of coats and shoes. Immediately off

the entrance lobby is the bright garden room. This useful and multifunctional

living space boasts glazing to the west facing wall and French doors that

open out onto the top terrace of the the garden. This is a fantastic space

to relax in, especially in spring/ summer time when the extensive panorama

of the open fields and rolling countryside really comes to life, and stunning

sunsets fill the view in the evenings. Steps lead down from the lobby into

the entrance hall, a further practical space with stone flagged floors,

complete with exposed ceilings beams.


Within what would have formerly been the barn to the corn mill sits a

versatile annexe which has previously been utilised as an independent

holiday let but has now been seamlessly reincorporated into the main

accommodation of the house. The ‘annexe’ boasts a small cosy sitting room/

snug with private external access leading to a patio garden, a cloak room

with WC and boiler housing , a lovely dining room, cottage style kitchen

and a beautiful double bedroom and ensuite shower room to the first

floor. This previously successful holiday let is also ideal for dependant

relatives or even just a great private retreat for guests. As with most of

the property, the space is filled with charming characterful features and

bespoke joinery craftsmanship, with stunning exposed ceiling beams, lintels

and woodwork.

The entrance hall also leads you through into the main house, firstly coming

to what would have been the original house of the corn mill. This large

room is now a lovely open plan reception space complete with a cosy

living area centred on a large electric stove, set upon a bespoke sandstone

hearth and lintel above, and space for a dining table and chairs. The charm

doesn’t stop there, as the room is filled with exposed wooden ceiling

beams, lintels above the door frames and deep window sills offering pretty

window seats from which to enjoy the lovely garden outlook. An external

door, formerly the front entrance, leads into a porch and further out onto

another flagged patio overlooking the south facing landscaped garden.

The bespoke kitchen fitted by local Ramwell Classic Interiors has been

handcrafted to create a homely and inviting space. Finished with traditional

painted shaker style units topped with solid oak worktops, they encompass

a Britannia Rangemaster cooker with a 6 ring ceramic hob, idyllically set

within a mosaic stone tiled inglenook. There is also space for a dishwasher

and an integrated fridge and a double Belfast sink completes the country

kitchen feel. A dual aspect allows for plenty of natural light and there is

even space in here for a more informal dining setting. Adjoining the kitchen

there is a useful utility room with space for a washing machine, dryer and

fridge freezer. Further external access can be found from here out onto

another spacious patio area, the perfect sun trap from which to enjoy

alfresco dining during the warmer months, and stunning sunsets across

the fields.


The open plan bespoke, handcrafted oak staircase leads up from the main

reception space to the fi rst fl oor. There are a further three double bedrooms

here, each offering their own unique charm and equally stunning views

across the different aspects. The master bedroom boasts views over the

east elevation, perfectly placed for the best of the sunrises over the rolling

countryside. The ensuite bathroom is fully tiled with a walk in double

shower and a handcrafted vanity sink unit. The family bathroom has been

recently renovated, featuring a roll top claw foot bath and stylish half

wooden panelling to the walls.

Sunset View

A fantastic addition to an already abundant package, Sunset View is a lovely

one bedroom holiday cottage created from the conversion of a garage

and store building. This popular space is the perfect holiday getaway,

complete with an open plan dining kitchen and living room, double bedroom

and a contemporary ensuite shower room. French doors lead out onto

a private garden area with a small patio /seating area, lawn, vegetable garden

and green house. The cottage has integral access to the single garage which

doubles as a utility and drying room, boasting an electric remote control

up and over door. Within the building are three separate loft spaces, two

with loft ladders, ideal for extra storage.


Workshop

Whether you are looking for the ultimate man cave or a fully functional

commercial workshop with an offi ce and kitchen area, the detached

workshop is a versatile and sizeable space. Adjoining there is also an

additional attached single garage.

The grounds of Bideber Mill are an absolute tranquil haven from which

you can enjoy the peace and fresh air of the far stretching surrounding

countryside. They have been the labour of love for the present owners,

meticulously maintained and landscaped to offer pristine gardens that all

the family can enjoy. With long stretching lawns, patios, fruit orchards and

even a handcrafted timber gazebo and kids play area; this garden can also

truly be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Stone fl agged patios and pathways

offer fantastic social and seating areas that benefi t from having sunlight

from dawn until dusk. There is even a picture perfect naturally sourced

stream that trickles along through the garden, creating a serene sound,

beautifully built within matching stone to the patio. From the both the

lower garden and upper driveway levels, access can be gained into the

adjoining pasture land (approximately 7.5 acres in two fi elds, available by

separate negotiation) which is perfect for those looking to create their

very own smallholding. The owners have also created beautiful wildlife

pond, a further wonderful place to escape and relax, whilst enjoying the

numerous birds and wildlife that visit regularly.
