Caton Green Road, Caton Green, Lancaster LA2

Marybank Farm is a truly enchanting Grade II listed farmhouse, dating back to the late 17th century and beautifully positioned in the peaceful, rolling landscape of Caton-with-Littledale. This is a home that immediately captures the imagination. Its golden sandstone walls, stone slate roof, and thoughtfully preserved architectural features radiate warmth, history, and a rare sense of continuity. Approached through a charming curved dry-stone wall and framed by mature gardens and a graceful weeping tree, the property feels like a timeless rural haven—somewhere you instinctively slow down, breathe more deeply, and feel entirely at ease.

Step inside, and the house unfolds with a wonderful sense of character and generosity. With nearly 2,900 sq. Ft of living space set across four levels, Marybank Farm offers room to grow, relax, entertain, and retreat. Every corner reflects the craftsmanship of its era: Thick stone walls, exposed beams with centuries of stories in their grain, deep-set windows that catch the soft northern light, and fireplaces that have warmed generations. The main living room and snug are effortlessly atmospheric—spaces designed not by any modern trend, but by time, purpose, and comfort. A wood-burning stove crackle invitingly, making these rooms perfect for winter gatherings, quiet reading days, or dramatic retellings of how you bravely battled the elements to bring in the logs.

At the heart of the home lies the delightful farmhouse kitchen-diner, an uplifting and sociable space where memory-making seems unavoidable. With its painted cabinetry, tiled floor, traditional range cooker, and charming décor, it blends rustic charm with everyday practicality. There is ample room for a full dining table—ideal for family meals, lazy Sunday brunches, and the occasional experimental baking session. The large windows frame views of the garden and valley beyond, making even simple tasks like chopping vegetables or brewing tea feel like moments of rural serenity. A cosy sofa area completes the room, ensuring that conversation, warmth, and togetherness are woven naturally into daily life.

Upstairs, the farmhouse continues its generous proportions, offering an abundance of rooms, nooks, and spaces to suit a variety of lifestyles. The four well-sized bedrooms each enjoy their own character and charm, from exposed stonework to lovely views that greet you each morning. The principal bedroom benefits from a substantial walk-in wardrobe—large enough to provoke envy, admiration, or the temptation to expand one’s coat collection. A bright, well-presented shower room adds convenience, while the study provides a peaceful place to work, read, or simply admire the garden from above.

The uppermost floor brings a delightful sense of surprise. A dedicated craft room and expansive loft room offer exceptional versatility: Think playroom, artist’s studio, music room, yoga retreat, or the most atmospheric home cinema you could imagine. Whether you need storage, creative space, or somewhere to escape with a cup of tea and your best intentions, the top floor is ready for it all.

Outside, Marybank Farm truly excels. The garden feels like an extension of the surrounding countryside—a harmonious blend of open lawn, mature planting, and those breathtaking panoramic views across the Lune Valley. A simple wooden bench sits proudly overlooking the landscape, inviting you to sit, pause, and appreciate the endless tapestry of fields, woodland, and shifting sky. It is the perfect spot for morning coffees, quiet contemplation, or simply pretending you are the protagonist of an especially peaceful period film. The sense of tranquillity here is remarkable; it’s a garden designed not just to be seen, but to be felt.

In its entirety, Marybank Farm is a rare offering: A home that blends centuries of heritage with modern comfort, charm with space, tranquillity with accessibility. Every room feels welcoming; every view feels restorative; every detail speaks of a home that has been cherished and cared for. Warm, characterful, and rich with personality, this is not simply a house—it is a lifestyle, a retreat, and an opportunity to live within history while enjoying the best of contemporary rural living.
