The Property
Dubcroft is a lovely double fronted detached property built in beautiful traditional Cumbrian style and occupying a generous plot of around 1.08 acres in all. In addition to the main house, the property incorporates gorgeous gardens and a fine range of outbuildings including a detached studio and garaging. Stables and a tack room combine with two excellent paddocks to offer a fabulous compact equestrian set up, with far-reaching views stretching away over attractive countryside.

The front door opens to a vestibule with fully glazed inner door and side panels, linking onwards to the bright and welcoming hall. To one side is the generously proportioned sitting room with a dual aspect including patio doors to the south elevation bringing lots of natural light. A feature fireplace with marble surround and hearth acts as a central focal point, and glazed double doors open to the adjoining study. This is a great place to work from home. Across the hall is the dining room with more formal entertaining space and a charming serving hatch that connects to the kitchen.

The open plan kitchen and garden room is a wonderful place to cook, dine and entertain. The kitchen area is fitted with an abundance of cabinetry with pretty decorative tiling and a grand AGA. The kitchen flows into dining area and onwards into the garden room with wrap around glazing and a vaulted ceiling supported by handsome exposed beams. Relaxing views look over the rear gardens, and French doors step out to the patio. A large utility room serves the kitchen with additional sink, storage and space for white goods along with external access. A useful WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

The spindled staircase rises to a half landing bathed in light from a tall arched window, then continues to the first floor landing. There are four double bedrooms and a small single arranged across the first floor, all finished in elegant and relaxing style. Two of the bedrooms feature extensive fitted storage, while another benefits from an en-suite shower. The family bathroom suite comprises bath, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail.

A spiral staircase from the landing leads up to the second floor and another three rooms of impressive size. These rooms provide vast storage space and could be used to extend the living accommodation, subject to securing the necessary planning consents.

Standing detached from the house is the substantial studio building. Thoughtfully constructed to blend with the appearance of the main house, the studio is incredibly versatile. The vaulted ceiling soars above an open room with practical floor tiling. This is a delightful craft or hobby room, and could offer home working space that keeps work and family life firmly apart.

Externally
Dubcroft is approached onto a gated and gravelled driveway with parking for numerous vehicles. Yet more parking is provided by a double garage with workshop to the rear and another single garage. Both garages have electric doors. The garaging forms part of the fabulous range of outbuildings, along with three stable bays and a tack room.

To the front of the house is a productive orchard garden. To the rear there are superbly maintained formal gardens with manicured lawns, patio, pond, raised planting beds and a lovely pergola walkway that adds form and character. The gardens are enclosed by well-kept hedging and stone wall boundaries.

Two paddocks extend to around 0.73 acres in all, again beautifully maintained and well-fenced. There is roadside access and the paddocks will appeal greatly to all equestrian enthusiasts looking for a fabuluous manageable set up.
