DESCRIPTION A rather special Grade II Listed property dated and inscribed over the entrance with Robert Vaux 1722 and a panel of his coat-of-arms. The arrangement of the outbuildings is pleasing and complimented beautifully by the wonderful setting, adjoining acreage and superb open views. The property has late C18 extension while the byers predate this being mid C17 and may have been part of the original house. The generous accommodation has great character and interest with period detail and style. There are two charming reception rooms and a breakfast kitchen with range cooker and multi fuel stove. The room has an exposed beam and is open into a lovely garden room with private sunny aspect. The exceptional outbuildings and land lend themselves to a variety of opportunities including equestrian, annex, studio/workshop or holiday lets subject to planning. In the top corner of the field is a summerhouse which is perfectly placed to take advantage of the fabulous Lake District views.
