Old Vicarage, Newbiggin-On-Lune, CA17

ACCOMMODATION

This substantial property sitting in the Yorkshire Dales National Park was built in 1907. It retains many original features including the high ceilings and the generous apportioned rooms of an Edwardian home. The property has been well looked after by its current owners and benefits from double glazing, oil central heating with new boiler and oil tank and is now connected to mains drains. The property was used as a Vicarage until the 1950's and has since been a welcoming home.

The property is entered via a bespoke oak front door with stained glass surround into a generous light hallway with seating. This leads through to the inner hall where there is a useful cloaks cupboard, and an impressive original turned staircase and wood panelling. There is a charming reception room currently used as an office, also with wood panelling and views onto the garden. From the elegant hallway are two reception rooms one with a marble fireplace and a wood burner stove. Separated by an archway the second reception room has its own door both of these spaces have delightful south facing open views of the fields and onto the Howgills and Green Bell, both have window seats, picture rails and coving.

The dining room is a generous, bright, dual aspect room with an open fire in a cast iron surround. It has picture rails and coving, and window seats to take in those views. The family dining kitchen has traditional free standing pitch pine cupboards, a large original press cupboard and plate rack. There is a Rangemaster electric stove with a five-ring induction hob and two ovens, and an original stone flagged floor. From here is the original scullery, it has built in open floor cabinetry and worktops with pretty mosaic splashbacks and a double Belfast sink. There is also a useful pantry with stone floor, original sconces and a frosted window.

The current owners have cleverly incorporated the original outbuildings into the main house via a new attractive glazed rear porch/passageway, This clever use of space creates a lovely room overlooking the garden at the same time adding the outside WC, log store and utility/washroom into the house itself. The utility has a charming, cobbled stone floor with Belfast sink and ample space for white goods. It also links directly into the garage, which is bright with power and numerous built-in cupboards and a remote-control door. The garage did have planning permission for converting it into a two-bedroom annexe, which has since lapsed.

UPSTAIRS

The hallway and landing are spacious and elegant. There is a generous airing cupboard here and the main family bathroom. A sizeable room with electric underfloor heating, bath, shower, traditional WC, sink, bidet. There are four, large double bedrooms on this floor, all of which have fireplaces, two being period fireplaces and they all enjoy stunning views of the surrounding scenery, towards Wild Boar Fell and Green Bell. There is a second family bathroom, with mains shower and bath, WC, and sink.

The loft is currently accessed via a drop-down ladder from the storeroom off the hallway. This space could comfortably be converted, subject to the necessary planning consent to provide further accommodation. Currently it has power and is partially boarded.

OUTSIDE

Externally, the property is surrounded by a well maintained and mature garden and a traditional Cumbrian dry-stone wall to three sides of the property. The lawn is framed by another lower stone wall and mature shrubs, bushes and trees. A well placed and designed flagged patio area has created an ideal sun trap and seating area for alfresco dining. There is a gravel drive with 'Iroko' timber gates and ample parking.
