Old Orchard, Barber Green, Grange over Sands, LA11 6HU

The unique solid wood front door opens into the Entrance Porch with slit window, attractive quality 'Amtico' mid tone wood flooring in the classic herringbone pattern. This lovely flooring runs through much of the ground floor providing warmth and practicality. Door to Entrance Hall with access to Kitchen and Lounge. The Kitchen can be found to the right through the on trend, 'Crittal' style double doors. This fabulous room is of cavernous dimensions with vaulted ceiling and triple aspect. It is flooded with natural light and at the dining end, has the most spectacular far reaching open country views - the perfect spot for the dining table! Patio doors lead out to the Terrace - ideal for warm weather entertaining. The Kitchen itself is a superb example of craftsmanship. Bespoke from 'English Hardwood Kitchens' there is a large central island with slate work surface and fixed circular, hardwood 'prep' board. Integrated dishwasher and space for fridge freezer. The icing on the cake is the wonderful grey and stainless steel 'Everhot' electric stove with 3 ovens, hot plate and induction hob - obligatory for every top tier home! There is also a discreet, recessed wood burning stove, usually a focal point but this is almost lost, with the view and everything else! The Lounge is of equally pleasing proportions with large picture window and glazed external door showcasing further those captivating views. Recessed wood burning stove and the most splendid antique style, feature metal radiators. Cupboard housing the hot water tank and Zilmet water pressure system. Stairs leading to the First Floor.

Further wonderful open views and direct access to the very private and incredibly peaceful side Garden. Door to En-Suite Bathroom which any first class hotel would be proud of. The first of the 3 'Villeroy & Boch' suites, this one is a personal favourite. The contemporary white suite comprises freestanding bath with floor mounted tap, WC, walk-in double shower with rain head shower and wash hand basin on a wall mounted vanitory cabinet. Ladder style radiator, shuttered window and ceramic tiled floor. The Inner Hall has a large under stairs Pantry, Laundry area and door to Rear Hall.

From the Inner Hall there is a door to the Rear Hall with door to Garage and access to the useful Cloakroom - 'Villeroy & Boch' 2 piece suite and Rear Porch with external door.

From the Lounge stairs lead up to the split Half Landing. To the left is a generous, light room currently utilised as an extra Sitting Room with velux roof windows providing superb views, further, shuttered window to the gable end, eaves storage and contemporary wood burning stove. This room is suitable for a variety of different uses of course - A 4th Bedroom, Study, Library, Cinema Room, Teenagers Den, Music Room, Studio etc. To the right the short stair leads to the Gallery Landing with large Linen Cupboard and access to Bedrooms 1 and 2. The Master Suite is superb! Firstly a very generous Double Bedroom with dual aspect and possibly the most captivating of all of the views. Along with another, 'Villeroy & Boch En-suite Shower Room and walk-in Wardrobe/Dressing Room. There is also a useful under-eaves storage. Bedroom 2 is a well proportioned Double Bedroom with wonderful open country views and luxurious En-suite Shower Room.

Externally, matters are just as fabulous! The Garden is just as well kept and presented as the inside! A real credit to the new owners for bringing this once overgrown Garden back to life. Extending to 3 sides, enclosed by either stone wall or mature hedge and enjoying views from almost every single corner. To the rear is a spacious, paved patio which catches the sunshine and provides a front row seat for those enchanting views. Pretty ornamental pond and some delightful, colourful and well established plants and shrubs. The lower portion of the Garden has some young fruit trees and wide gravel path giving easy access to the very productive, raised vegetable beds. The side Garden is a particular joy enjoying complete privacy and a wonderful peace with large, mature conifer. Gated pathway with two useful metal storage sheds.

The Integral Double Garage has remote controlled roller doors, power, light, water and electric vehicle charge point. Storage cupboards to recess. Door to Boiler Room housing the oil fired central heating boiler. Parking is provided for 2/3 vehicles on the private driveway.  

Location Barber Green is a delightful small hamlet situated in a rural position within the Cartmel Valley. The local town of Grange-Over-Sands is approximately 4½ miles away with Railway Station, Primary School, Library, Post Office, Shops, Cafes & Tearooms and a picturesque Edwardian Promenade. The Market Town of Ulverston is approx 15 minutes drive with wider range of amenities.

The highly regarded village of Cartmel with Secondary School, fine dining, Public Houses, 'Cartmel Races', famed Sticky Toffee Pudding and 12th Century Priory are just a short drive away. Junction 36 of the M6 and the base of Lake Windermere are both approximately a 20-25 minute drive. The location is very accessible and convenient but just far enough removed to enjoy a peaceful rural lifestyle too.

To reach the property proceed along the A590 in the direction of Newby Bridge. At the top of the Lindale Bypass turn left sign-posted Cartmel, at the T junction turn right, proceed under the underpass and turn left. Proceed through Low Newton and upon entering Newton In Cartmel take the third left and proceed up the hill. Go over the bypass and turn right down the hill into Barber Green. Take the third left after a triangle of grass and The Old Orchard is at the end of the cul-de-sac. Please note that sat nav may not bring you to the right spot.
