Saddleback View, Troutbeck, CA11

Description

A true hidden gem, nestled in its own grounds, surrounded by Lakeland countryside, Saddleback View is perfectly positioned to take in the breath taking views of Blencathra and its surrounding fell range. This quiet and tranquil location is all you need to relax and unwind. The property is a traditional Cumbrian house of Lakeland stone with slate roof, once a former farm building, it was developed many years ago into the property it is now. There is planning permission in place to add a two-story extension to the side, should anyone wish too.

Making your way through Wallthwaite, the property can be seen on the approach road. Turning into the drive, you are greeted with a tree lined drive and the property sited at the bottom, Blencathra dominating the backdrop. The entrance is to the side of the property and into the kitchen/diner with slate underfloor heating. This room has a traditional feel mixed with modern living. With windows on both sides of the room, there is no shortage of natural light. Continuing through to the inner hall, the staircase to the first floor is central to the house. To the right is the most amazing orangery, constructed of brick base and solid oak frame, large window to either side and large French style door leading out to a terrace area. The views from this room are truly magnificent and with heating and underfloor heating, the room can be used in all Lake District weather. The cosy lounge is off the inner hallway and has a multi fuel stove, sat on a slate hearth, a very comfortable room with windows to the front and back, all with deep solid oak window sills. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, all with views of the surrounding fells, all having exposed beams and deep solid oak windowsills. The bathroom is contemporary in design and has a free-standing bath with shower, large window and slate sills.
