Occupying a private setting with the stunning backdrop of the magnificent Howgills to the east and far reaching views towards the Frostrow Fells to the south, Near Moss is a handsome Arts and Crafts detached property set in generous gardens and meadowland.

With a gross internal area of c 3192 sq ft (296.6 sq m), the beautifully presented and extremely welcoming accommodation is set over two floors with good-sized, light and airy rooms (with the majority of rooms having lovely views of the fells, garden or both) and a very versatile layout.

Refurbished by the current owners since their purchase in 2019 with new kitchen, bath/shower rooms, redecoration etc, they have also reconfigured and extended the space to create a wonderful modern family home combined with a touch of a bygone age.
