Location

Situated on the outskirts of Cartmel, amidst extensive parkland and woodland, stands the impressive Coach House. This historic property enjoys proximity to the enchanting village of Cartmel, renowned for its famous Priory, the Sticky Toffee Pudding shop, and its celebrated racecourse. Cartmel offers a delightful mix of boutique shops, traditional pubs, cosy cafes, and a bistro, alongside the culinary excellence of two Michelin-starred restaurants. The village also caters to everyday needs with a primary and secondary school, a doctor’s surgery, a convenience store, and a sandwich shop, making it both a picturesque and practical location.

Description

Accessed through the original estate's gated entrance, a sweeping driveway leads to the rear of the building, where ample off-road parking and a private single garage are conveniently located. At the front of the building, a communal entrance for Flats 1–4 opens into a shared hallway. A private front door to the right welcomes you into a warm and inviting hallway, which provides access to two double bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a spacious living room, and a separate kitchen/diner. A large built-in cupboard offers practical storage space for coats, shoes, and household essentials. 

Located at the far end of the hall, the main reception room is bathed in natural sunlight, thanks to dual-aspect windows and a glazed door that opens seamlessly onto the private courtyard patio. The space is tastefully finished with neutral décor and elegant herringbone-style flooring, further enhanced by a remote-controlled electric fire, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.

Adjacent to the living room, the kitchen/diner is thoughtfully designed and equipped with a range of laminate-fronted storage cupboards and a complementary two-sided worktop, offering ample preparation space. The worktop features a stainless steel sink with a mixer tap and a four-ring electric hob. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven/grill, a fridge-freezer, and a dishwasher. The room also provides plenty of space for a dining table and four chairs, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and entertaining.

The largest of the two bedrooms is a spacious double room that enjoys views of the rear communal grounds. This room is enhanced by a built-in wardrobe with overhead storage and offers additional space for freestanding drawers and bedside tables. The second bedroom also overlooks the rear communal grounds and is a generously sized double or twin room, which provides ample space for freestanding wardrobes and drawers. Completing the internal accommodation is the shower room, which has a corner enclosure with wall mounted electric shower, a WC and wash hand basin with vanity storage below. 

Outside, there are extensive communal garden areas to the front and rear of the property, shared with other seven owners of The Coach House. The apartment also has shared use of the gravelled parking area and access to a private garage.
