Description

Stainton House is a very appealing detached country property which offers immaculately presented 3 or 4 bedroom accommodation with 2 bathrooms in a delightful position fronting St Sunday's Beck in the peaceful South Lakeland village of Stainton. Developed and updated by the present landlords the property was originally thought to be 3 cottages, perhaps around 200 years old, but Stainton House now presents itself as an extremely comfortable modern home, tastefully presented and decorated throughout.

Older original features combine well with modern touches and high quality improvements such as the fine bespoke solid oak bedroom furniture to the bedroom one. The four double bedrooms and two excellent bathroom suites complement the reception rooms that have plenty of character, and very well fitted breakfast kitchen which has an adjacent utility room. The property enjoys a very enviable and private outlook over lawned gardens which are dissected by St. Sunday's Beck. Beyond the gardens is the rolling landscape of this peaceful corner of old Westmorland, yet it is surprisingly convenient for access into Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale, Oxenholme railway station, Westmorland General Hospital and junction 36 of the M6 all of which are only a few minutes drive. This collection of small villages to the south of Kendal is increasingly popular and enjoys an active community with the village school of Crosscrake being particularly well regarded.
