Description

The historic Filter House is a large building located in the heart of the Hayeswater Valley, set amidst cascading waterfalls and sparkling pools. The property features 3-phase electricity, private water from a borehole with a new filtered water system, and a septic tank with soak-away system. The building has a blank canvas interior with an open-plan layout, a central kitchen area, and a rear extension containing a WC and shower room.

The property has undergone recent renovation work, including repairs to the surrounding walls, resealed windows, and replaced steel supports and doors. The exterior features a concrete filter tank ideal for a modern water treatment plant, subject to environmental licenses. The house is set in a dramatic and unspoilt location, surrounded by mountains, streams, and pools, with stunning scenery and abundant walking opportunities.
