Built in 1699, this Grade II listed traditional Lakeland farmhouse nestles in seclusion at the end of its own driveway, about 300 yards from the Kirkstone Pass road. It is built into the rock of the fellside, and sheltered by a traditional stone barn. The farmhouse is named after the nearby beck which comes tumbling down from Caudale Moor, and is a delight to sit by on warm afternoons. This was a working farm in its own right, until it was absorbed into the Hartsop Hall estate in 1966.
Caudale Beck has vast stone walls, lots of beams and interesting features, including a spice cupboard by the fireplace in the lounge. |

It is a very spacious property, where the provision of modern creature comforts has not been allowed to interfere with its traditional features and character appeal.
Accommodation : the entrance porch (hooks for outdoor clothes) leads into the beamed farmhouse kitchen with oil-fired Rayburn, electric hob, microwave, usual cupboards, large pine dining table and chairs. Leading off the kitchen is the old pantry, providing a spacious utility room, with a large larder fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, dryer, iron and ironing board, drying space, and plenty of useful cool shelf space.

From the kitchen a door leads directly into the lovely oak-beamed lounge, with its open fire, comfy sofas, TV (via FreeSat)and DVD player. There is also a separate dining room, furnished in antique pine, which makes a very quiet study area, if needed.
An inner hall (more hanging space) leads to the wide staircase and big landing above, where doors lead to all four bedrooms – two singles and two spacious king-sized doubles.
The family bathroom is big, has bath with shower attachment, basin and WC, and lovely views up to Middle Dodd.

The furnishings throughout are traditional antique oak and pine, in keeping with the character of this farmhouse. Heating is by the Rayburn, storage radiators, panel heaters and the open fire, for which fuel is provided.
Outside the farmhouse is a small paved area for sitting out or barbecues (BBQ not provided), and beyond that, plenty of hard standing for car parking. The adjacent barns are in use, and house cattle during the winter months. |
