Studfold Farmhouse
Kirby Stephen

This delightful, detached, former farmhouse is situated in a spectacular location with stunning views in every direction. Comprehensively refurbished with great care and attention to detail, it has a wonderful charm and features a small cinema, original beams and stonework, and provides an outstanding home from home. Situated in the beautiful Upper Eden Valley between Wild Boar Fell and the Howgill Fells ensures there are breathtaking views from the well maintained garden areas. A variety of walks from gentle strolls to strenuous hikes, start directly from the doorstep, enabling guests to enjoy the stunning scenery and peace that surrounds the holiday property. Cyclists will enjoy the quiet country lanes and golfers and fishermen will find a small golf course and trout farm just 3 miles away. The area is rich in castles and small villages which are great for exploring. Although the property is almost hidden among the magnificent fell country of the Pennines there is easy road access to the Lake District and it is virtually within hailing distance of the Yorkshire Dales. A lively calender of events adds to a holiday here with festivals of all kinds, country and craft fairs, farmers&rsquo; markets and traditional agricultural shows to name just a few.
