General - The Coach House is a house of considerable character set in approximately 1.55 acres in the heart of the Appleby Magna conservation area. The property was substantially extended and re modelled some 20 years ago, to the design and specification of the current owners. The works were carried out with considerable flair and some really interesting features were incorporated into the property. The accommodation is centred around the sensational reception hall with vaulted ceiling, which rises through the full height of the house. There is a wonderful living kitchen with French doors opening onto the garden and a sitting room with wood burning stove, also with French doors opening onto the garden. On the ground floor there are three further reception rooms and on the first floor there are five bedrooms with an ensuite to the master. There is a separate one bedroomed annexe included in the sale.

It is ideally suited to the modern work-from-home and extended family living. Utilising the barn and lean-to stables whilst offering a tennis court, extensive lawned area and the mature apple/pear orchard.
