Description
Situated on the peninsular to the south of the Lake District National Park and the Coniston Fells this impressive Edwardian house was built in 1904/05 and has a traditional layout. Although it has only ever been in the hands of three owners it has been thoughtfully extended over the years and is an attractively presented family home upgraded to bring in modern comforts. Elevated from the surrounding fields it has excellent rural and estuary views from every room of the house with nearby amenities in Broughton in Furness and Millom and a railway station under 2 miles away.
Delightful grounds of c 1.27 acres surround the house and provide immense privacy. This includes seating areas, lawns, a small wooded wild area, extensive herbaceous borders, a rockery, a large veg patch and modern greenhouse, an orchard area and ponds. The gated drive leads to adjacent parking, a double garage and a large garden shed.
With a range of reception rooms and five good double bedrooms Ruskin Mount is an ideal family home with space for everyone. The original Lakeland slates in the porch and kitchen transitioning into quarry tiles allow for fuss free living downstairs: it is an easy and practical yet welcoming house.
