How do you like the sound of a large house with workshop, land and an income from renewable energy? Aikrigg Cottage, dating from late Georgian times, can offer that and more.

This spacious property dates from 1835 and sits in large gardens with a parking area and garage.

It includes a detached workshop with inspection pit and a field enclosure extending to almost two and a half acres and featuring a fenced-off countryside corner with pond and summerhouse.

A wind turbine installed in 2009 within the paddock to the rear of the property provides electricity and an annual income of approximately £380 while 14 ground-mounted solar panels, installed in 2012 and also located in the paddock produce an annual income of approximately £1,450.

These energy systems complement oil-fired central heating and double glazing within the house.

The gardens have mature fruit trees, a decking area with hot tub and summer house and a lawned area with a sandstone well.

The cottage benefits from various renewable energy installations which both reduce annual running costs and generate incomes.

Aikrigg Cottage should have appeal for a range of buyers from those looking for a large detached family home to anyone wanting to run a business or keep horses.

The internal layout of the property features a porch, lounge with wood-burning stove and a dual aspect and living dining room with timber floor and Esse multi-fuel stove with oven and hob plates in a sandstone fireplace.

This room is open to the kitchen which features full-height oak units, breakfast bar, wine rack and Rangemaster electric cooker.

On the first floor is a master bedroom with windows to two sides, built-in wardrobe, chest of drawers and cabinet with a window seat and en-suite bathroom.

There are two additional double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobe, a single bedroom and a shower room.
