Description
Crake River House is a former thriving bobbin mill. In the late 1990’s it was converted into a unique, contemporary family home. It is situated within the semi rural village of Spark Bridge. Accommodation in this substantial property briefly consists a spacious reception hall, downstairs cloakroom, kitchen/diner, large playroom/home office, 60ft living room, four large double bedrooms all with ensuite, detached garage, landscaped gardens, private parking for several vehicles and views over looking the River Crake. The property is immaculate and presented to a very high standard with modern fitments throughout including a contemporary kitchen with modern units, LED ceiling lights, pine doors and large multi fuel stove.
The Crake Valley, one of the lesser known Lakeland valleys, offers a very peaceful and picturesque environment for either a permanent home or for attracting holiday rentals. At the head of the valley is Coniston Water and the rising uplands of central Lakeland with the River Crake flowing through Spark Bridge into the estuary of Morecambe Bay and nearby Greenodd. Within the Lake District National Park, Spark Bridge is a small but vibrant rural community, with plenty of local activities, a village hall and two pubs within walking distance of Crake River House. Whilst positioned in a quiet private courtyard there is good road access nearby to the A590, giving a quick access to the M6 junction 36 and rail connections at Ulverston or Oxenholme. The popular market town of Ulverston is only a short drive and offers a wide range of amenities and good range of local shopping.
