Location

Centrally located in the charming rural village of Allithwaite and bordering picturesque farmland, this property enjoys breath-taking views over open countryside, stretching towards Morecambe Bay in the distance. Conveniently positioned within walking distance of local amenities, including a shop, Post Office, playing fields, and a highly regarded primary school, it offers both tranquillity and accessibility.

Description

The property is accessed via stone steps that lead alongside a low-maintenance rockery garden with mature bushes, guiding you to the charming stable-style front door. Stepping inside, the impressive lounge immediately captivates with its tasteful neutral décor, complemented by contrasting pale grey wood-style panelling on two walls. A central multi-fuel cast-iron burner, set on a tiled inset hearth with a rustic wooden lintel above, serves as a striking focal point. Additionally, a recessed alcove with shelving offers the perfect space to showcase books and decorative pieces, enhancing the room’s character and warmth.

A charming cottage-style door from the lounge leads into the inviting kitchen-diner, thoughtfully designed with traditional wooden storage cupboards and a worktop along one wall incorporating a classic Belfast sink. There is ample space for a cooker, while a recessed alcove under the stairs accommodates a fridge freezer. The room also comfortably fits a small dining table with two chairs, creating a cosy and functional space. A half-glazed door opens to stepped access leading up to the rear garden, while a half-flight of stairs provides access to the bathroom. The bathroom features a stylish white three-piece suite, including a bath with a wall-mounted shower, a WC, and a pedestal wash hand basin, all complemented by splash-back tiling and elegant wood panelling.

The staircase continues up to the first-floor accommodation, which comprises two well-appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom, located at the front, spans the full width of the property, offering a spacious and inviting retreat. Tastefully decorated in soothing shades of blue and complemented by stripped wood flooring, it exudes charm and character. The second bedroom, a versatile space that serves as a small double or generous single, also features stripped wood flooring and enjoys picturesque views over open farmland.

Outside, a small yard with stone steps leads up to an elevated seating area, offering a peaceful retreat to sit and take in the breath-taking views of the open countryside and Morecambe Bay. A separate patio provides another delightful spot to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
