Asplands, The Croft, Burton In Lonsdale, LA6 3NB

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Asplands:

1. A private and secluded setting with some lovely countryside views to the rear - in a central village location, yet tucked away off the main thoroughfare.

2. It's really rather roomy with a gross internal of 3000 sq ft (278.7 sq m) including the garage, the flexible accommodation is set over two floors with good sized, light and bright spaces.

3. Great potential - built in the early 1970's and not seen on the open market in over 40 years, this detached property has been well-maintained but now offers the new custodians an exciting opportunity to refurbish, extend (subject to consent) or maybe reconfigure the current layout to create a modern, contemporary home.

4. As it stands... come on in through the covered front entrance in to a large hall (a room in itself) off which is an arch to the inner hall leading to the bedrooms, access to the lower ground floor, the two reception rooms and the dining kitchen. Double doors lead into the sitting room - a spacious dual aspect room with slate fireplace and two large windows to the north and west elevations. The dining room also has a large window and a serving hatch to the kitchen. The dining kitchen is fitted with base and wall units, integral electric oven and grill, hob and refrigerator. To complete the ground floor, there is a side hall with broom cupboard and plumbing for a washing machine.

5. Lower ground floor - an attractive open riser spiral staircase with a double height floor to ceiling window leads to the lower hall, with sliding glazed door out to the seating terrace. Off the hall, you'll find the games room (large enough for a snooker table!); this room also has glazed double doors to the terrace. Off here is an 'anything room' which could be used as a home office, gym, cinema/hobby's room or an occasional sixth bedroom. There is also a boiler room/store.

6. Sweet dreams - with five bedrooms on the ground floor, three doubles and two singles. Bedrooms 1 and 2 both have fitted furniture and all have lovely garden or countryside views.

7. Modern bathroom - there is a four piece bathroom with feature arch window as well as a two piece cloakroom with built-in cupboard on the ground floor and two piece cloakroom on the lower ground floor.

8. Generous gardens - sat in a plot of c. 0.57 acres (0.23 hectares) mature gardens surround the property with lawns, a paved terrace, specimen trees, conifers, apple trees, shrubs and rose beds. An integral store, 165 sq ft (15.3 sq m) provides practical storage for garden equipment, bikes, wood etc.

9. Garaging and parking - a private drive leads down to a parking area with ample space for visiting family and friends. With access off the lower hall, there is an integral double garage with an up and over door, power and light.

10. A highly accessible village, popular with families and surrounded by stunning open countryside.
