Description

Entering through the porched front door, you step into an impressive hall with a high beamed ceiling, showcasing exposed beams and beautiful wooden floors that set the tone for the characterful charm of this home. From here, split-level stairs lead down to the open-plan living area and kitchen, creating a seamless flow between spaces. Additional stairs lead up to the galleried landing, adding an element of grandeur and providing access to the upper floor master and second bedrooms.

A door on the left leads you into the first of two living areas, which features double-glazed windows to the front, side and rear, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room. One of the windows opens to a Juliet balcony, framing stunning views towards the fells. This room also boasts an imposing stone fireplace that houses a Morso wood-burning stove, providing both a striking focal point and warmth.

Also on this floor are two spacious double bedrooms, which both enjoy lovely views, as well as a versatile fifth bedroom with mezzanine level that could serve as a study or hobbies room. The family bathroom is elegantly appointed with a roll-top bath, an enclosure with wall mounted electric shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. A cupboard within the room houses the hot water cylinder and provides ample space for towels, linen and toiletries. 

Back in the entrance hall, stairs descend to the lower ground floor, where you’ll find a spacious living room and a high-quality kitchen, designed to be the heart of the home for socialising and entertaining with family and friends. At the far side of the living area, a multi-fuel stove adds warmth and ambiance, while a glazed door opens to the rear patio, extending the living space outdoors. A door beneath the stairs leads to a convenient cloakroom, equipped with a WC and pedestal wash hand basin.

The stunning kitchen features a range of storage cupboards and a complementary three-sided worktop that extends into a breakfast bar. Fitted within the worktop is a single drainer sink with a mixer tap, and an Aga with a twin hot plate, double oven, and warming drawer. Additionally, the kitchen includes integrated appliances such as a fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen is a highly functional utility room, with fitted storage cupboards, a worktop, and a Belfast sink. There’s also space for an American-sized fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

On the first floor, there is a generous galleried landing, with doors leading to two large double bedrooms. The landing area features an open beamed ceiling, adding both character and a sense of spaciousness, creating a perfect space for unwinding. The largest of the two bedrooms benefits from an en-suite shower room, providing a private and luxurious retreat. The second bedroom is equally impressive, with built-in storage, offering practical and convenient space for your belongings.

Outside, to the rear of the property, there is a stone-flagged patio featuring a charming water feature, perfect for alfresco dining and relaxation. Beyond the patio, a raised lawn garden is complemented by planted borders and a mature tree. Access to a large stone outbuilding is also available from this area. Located off the patio is a large gravelled drive, providing parking for several vehicles and access to a walled garden. The garden is beautifully landscaped with well-stocked borders, a pond, and a raised seating area, offering a peaceful retreat. From either the walled garden or the drive, there is access to a fenced paddock with planted fruit trees and a timber shed.
