Particulars
This impressive, detached home, creatively designed and built in 1986 on the site of a former cornmill, seamlessly blends modern improvements with the charm of a traditional village property. Notable enhancements, including a two-storey conservatory, have added to its appeal, while preserving its timeless character.

Spanning three storeys, the spacious family accommodation offers five bedrooms, four reception rooms, and three bathrooms, along with a generous basement and integral garage. The west-facing elevation is enclosed by the conservatory, creating an inviting space to enjoy the gardens and abundant birdlife, whatever the weather.

Set within just over an acre of private grounds, the property adjoins Peasey Beck, its soothing sound filling the air. Despite being close to the M6, traffic noise is barely perceptible, only audible in the far northern corner of the gardens. The grounds feature carefully planted ornamental trees and shrubs, alongside expansive lawns. Two timber bridges with the main bridge having a steel base providing access across the beck, providing access to the full extent of the gardens — perfect for playful moments like pooh sticks.

With sunny patios, secluded seating areas, and ample space for entertaining or al-fresco dining, this exceptional family home offers a truly unique living experience.

Directions
From Kendal take the B6254 Oxenholme Road in a south westerly direction. Continue on the B6254 past Oxenholme Station and onto Old Hutton. Travel through the village and locate a private drive immediately beyond the last house on the left-hand side (opposite a circular roadside mirror). Go down this driveway and the property will be found on the left.
