The historical village of Cartmel is also close by and is renowned for its famous annual horse race meetings and culinary delights including L'Enclume, a Michelin starred restaurant which draws food enthusiasts from far and wide.

Having been enjoyed for many years by the current owners the property is filled with character and original features. With family in mind, this home offers generously sized bedrooms, an abundance of space to entertain and provides the opportunity for the purchasers to add their own tastes and specification. The property is set back from the road, encompassed with hedging and parking at the front.

The central entrance opens into a porchway exposing an original stained-glass door which flows into a spacious hallway. An impressive staircase sits at the rear of the hallway with a choice of reception rooms to either side.

The larger reception room enjoys a bay window to the front elevation allowing ample natural light to fill the room, with a further single window to the side sitting around a feature fireplace, ideal as a cosy setting. To the rear of the room is a featured archway with a glazed French door providing direct access onto a private patio area, slightly elevated providing delightful views across the rear garden.

The two windows provide a dual aspect outlook, inviting natural light through into this calm and characterful living space.

The heart of the home is the farmhouse kitchen, thoughtfully desgined with natural Welsh slate flooring flowing underfoot throughout. The broad bay window at the far end of the kitchen captures widescreen panoramas over the lawn and well stocked borders. With traditional carpentry, large central island and modern appliances this is the perfect space for everyday living or family gatherings. Light and bright, this practical kitchen also features a red brick surround with inset range cooker and useful walk-in pantry.
