North House, 45 High Street, Burton In Lonsdale, LA6 3JP

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love North House:

1. Grade II Listed double fronted mid terrace property and dating back to c. 1837 with character features at every turn (flagged floors in the sitting room and dining kitchen, exposed wooden floors in the bedrooms, fireplaces, tongue and bead doors with Suffolk latches, quoin stone door reveal in the sitting room, oak lintels, stone cills and former carriage entrance with chamfered voussoirs).

2. Well-proportioned accommodation - with a gross internal area of c. 1265 sq ft (117.5 sq m), the rooms are spacious and light.

3. Come on in to a welcoming sitting room having open fire with cast iron dog grate and carved wood surround.

4. Perfect for entertaining family and friends - a good sized dining kitchen with base and wall units, double pot sink, integral appliances including an electric oven and hob, refrigerator and dishwasher, multi-fuel stove set in a stone fireplace. There is also an understairs shelved pantry.

5. Backing up the kitchen is a practical rear hall/boot room open to a useful utility/laundry room with pot sink and housing the boiler. In addition, there is a two piece cloakroom.

6. And when the day is done... an enclosed staircase leads to a spacious landing with painted floor boards, off which are three bedrooms. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are both doubles; bedroom 3 is a large single and enjoys far reaching views. Generous modern bathroom with four piece suite including bath, separate walk in shower and vanity wash basin.

7. Parking - a rarity in the village, there is off road parking for one.

8. Delightful gardens - the walled foregarden with wrought iron railings is planted with mature shrubs and trees and has a cobbled path to the front door. To the rear, the private terraced gardens are separated into 'rooms'. There is a terrace with deep planted beds and a pot sink immediately to the rear of the property. From here, steps lead up to an elevated garden with two seating terraces, one enjoying far-reaching fell views; flagged paths lead to a lawn, pond, greenhouse and established planting and then into a secluded garden with lawn, garden store and a summerhouse with double open doors, tiled floor and a bar - an ideal spot to escape to at the end of a busy day.

9. To the east of the house, arched timber doors lead into the former carriage entrance, a covered yard, with power and light, excellent for general storage, bins, wood etc.

10. If it's access to open countryside you're seeking then the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District National Parks, the Lune Valley and Forest of Bowland are all within reach.
