Meathop Hall Barn, Meathop, Grange over Sands, LA11 6RE

The main door opens in to the spacious, central Hallway with ceramic tiled floor, exposed stone, beams, stairs to the First Floor and useful Cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin. A Hallway spacious enough to host a gathering! The Dining Kitchen is incredibly spacious too! In fact, more of a Kitchen/Dining/Family Room - the true heart of the home and excellent for families and entertaining. Part tiled and part wood effect laminate flooring with feature brick chimney breast.

The Kitchen is furnished with a range of mid grey wall and base cabinets with solid wood work surface incorporating the 1½ bowl sink. Excellent 'Rangemaster' oven with 7 burner calor gas hob and electric ovens. Integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Matching central island and door to the Rear Garden. The discreet Utility Room has a sink, base cabinets and more than enough space for washer, dryer and additional fridges and freezers if required. From the Kitchen there is a step up to double doors which lead to the Games Room. A very versatile room, suitable for a variety of different uses. Playroom, Music Room, Snug, Study, Bedroom No. 5 perhaps? Lovely, deep set windows and recessed cupboard housing the oil central heating boiler.

From the Entrance Hall the stairs lead up to the first 'Gallery Landing' with stairs to the Second Floor, exposed beams and gallery view to the Hallway below. The Lounge is a fabulous room - large yet cosy with a triple aspect with pleasing views. Engineered oak flooring, modern wood burning stove and built in library shelving. The luxurious Master Bedroom is cavernous in size! Split level with 2 roof windows, dual aspect, exposed beam and stone work. Dressing Area with recessed illuminated wardrobes and En-Suite Bathroom. The Bathroom has a white suite comprising double ended built in bath, extensive vanity storage with wash hand basin, WC and separate walk-in shower enclosure. Ceramic tiled floor with underfloor heating and inset lights.

The Second Floor Landing is large and light with roof window. Currently utilised as a Home Office with room to spare! Bedroom 2 is a well proportioned Double Bedroom with charming, deep set, windows in a variety of different sizes! This Bedroom has its own En-Suite Shower Room. Bedroom 3 is very characterful with exposed stone, painted beams and an array of small, deep set windows! Recessed wardrobe. Bedroom 4, the smallest of the Bedrooms is still a good sized double with roof window. The family Bathroom on this floor has a white suite of WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over.

Externally this home is no less impressive. The Garden, with direct access from the Kitchen/Family Room is South Facing and extensive. Excellent for the most energetic and adventurous of children and those with a keen interest in gardening. It is currently a very respectable 'work in progress' in parts (although this is not at all obvious). Excellent, sunny paved patio ideal for alfresco dining. Having recently purchased some additional land the Garden now has a generous level lawn with steps and pathway leading to the 'top' with planted terraced rockery and seating area from which to enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings and wonderful views towards the Lake District fells. There is a useful stone 'store' which houses the oil tank and provides storage. Parking for several vehicles.

All in all a very special and enviable home with beautiful character features and everything the modern family could possibly have on their tick list. 

Location The village of Meathop is calm and peaceful with a real rural feel and is located within the Lake District National Park. Although the location is tranquil and relaxed it is also extremely convenient and accessible just 0.7 miles from the A590 which gives easy access to the M6 Motorway, Kendal and the Furness Peninsula. Grange over Sands is the nearest town for supplies and has amenities such as Primary School, Medical Centre, Post Office, Library, Railway Station, Shops/Cafes and Tearooms and is popular with residents and holiday makers alike. There is a school bus for Cartmel Secondary School.

From Meathop the base of Lake Windermere can be reached in around 15-20 minutes and the delights of the inner lakes just a little longer. Wonderful walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep of this charming home.

To reach the property travel along the A590 from the M6 heading towards Grange over Sands. Take the first left on Meathop Roundabout and then first left (almost immediately) onto the country lane which takes you into Meathop. Upon entering the village, Meathop Hall Barn can be found shortly on the right hand side being the second barn of the two.
