Spread over 3 floors, and overlooking open fields, this superb family home is perfectly placed in the popular village of Staveley. With a private guest suite, this is a home perfect for multigenerational families, visiting guests and friends, or as an extra source of income.
Filled with original features that include thick-set walls, exposed beams and a stone, spiral staircase, Staveley House and the apartment are adaptable, flexible and brimming with space and potential.
Pull in through the wrought-iron gates and onto the gravelled driveway, where there's space for 2 cars and a seating area offering time to pause.
Through an arched gateway with its own entrance at the rear, the apartment is ideal for guests or extended family. From the driveway at the front of the property, a slate tiled canopy offers shelter from the elements before stepping into the warmth of Staveley House.
Slate tiled flooring extends underfoot, and with ample space, it's a warm and welcome arrival.
To the left, the utility room is ready for muddy boots, jackets and coats, with a shower on hand to rinse off four-legged adventurers.
Freshen up in the downstairs cloakroom which includes a separate WC and washbasin, before returning to the porch and making your way through the glazed double doors into the heart of the home, the large, open plan living and dining room.
Flow into the dining room to your right, where deep-set windows frame the views and flood the area with natural light. There's space for a generous table, ideal for Sunday lunches, impromptu dinners with friends, or quiet breakfasts with the papers. Another door leads directly outside. In the warmer months, open it wide and let fresh air flow through, extending the dining space.
Exposed beams and sections of exposed stonework give the room a grounded, timeless feel. It's a space that lends itself as easily to celebration as it does to calm.
The home opens into a generous living space, where original features catch the eye. Overhead beams, worn smooth with age, contrast with whitewashed walls, adding texture, warmth, and a quiet reminder of the home's past.
With plenty of room for both relaxed seating and everyday living, the space offers flexibility without ever feeling formal. Curl up with a book, or gather with family for film nights beside the Huntingdon 40 gas fire that sits handsomely in the large central stone hearth. Anchoring the open-plan room with rustic character and quiet grandeur, this is a space that invites you to both relax and unwind.
From this central space, make your way into the galley kitchen. Tucked just out of sight but always connected, it continues the home's rich sense of character.
The kitchen blends practicality with charm. Ample oak cabinetry wraps around the room, offering generous storage above and below the granite worktops. A traditional range cooker takes centre stage, and a Belfast sink adds to the relaxed cottage style. Other appliances include an American style fridge freezer and integrated dishwasher, all ready for the rhythm of daily life.
Whether it's fuelling up for a day on the fells or preparing something slow and indulgent for supper with friends, this is a kitchen that works hard but feels effortless.
Continue through into the utility room, where there's further space for appliances and everyday essentials. With its own external door, it also allows access to the rear of the property.
From here, return to the heart of the home and make your way up the stone spiral staircase to the upper floor.
Cosily carpeted and generous in size, a dramatic double-height ceiling draws the eye upward, with exposed beams lending character and a sense of scale. Built-in cupboards provide a practical home for linen and spare bedding, keeping everything close to hand but neatly out of sight.
Discover the family bathroom, a spacious and contemporary space to unwind. A jacuzzi corner bath sits beneath the beams, ready to be filled with bubbles. There's also a walk-in shower, WC, washbasin, and bidet.
Across the hall, step into a generous double bedroom. There's plenty of space here for storage, and an en-suite comprising a walk-in shower, heated towel rail, WC and washbasin.
Next door, another bright and airy double bedroom awaits, also with its own en-suite shower room. This is a restful space, light-filled and peaceful, with everything needed for comfort close at hand.
Climb again to the second floor, where two further bedrooms branch off from a landing that could easily become a quiet reading nook. Up here, the character continues, tucked under the eaves, calm and full of potential, these are spaces that are easily adaptable.
Staveley House Apartment
Accessed from the rear of the property, with its own private entrance, the apartment is a wonderful addition to the home.
Step inside to a light-filled vestibule, where glazed doors open into a generous hallway with built-in cupboards offering the perfect place to store coats, walking boots, and weekend bags.
To the right, the breakfast kitchen offers everything needed for day-to-day living, and a range of fitted cabinetry provides ample storage. Whether it's morning coffee, or a glass of something chilled in the evening, this is a space that adapts to the moment.
From here, walk through to the sitting room. Dual aspect windows welcome the daylight, while French doors open out onto the balcony. It's a place to sit awhile and relax, or to enjoy a bit of stargazing with a blanket and a nightcap.
Back inside, the double bedroom is calm and inviting. Across the hallway, the bathroom features a bath with an overhead shower, WC and washbasin, all set against a palette of tiling in neutral tones.
Every element of the apartment has been thoughtfully considered to offer independence, privacy and comfort.
Tucked behind double wrought iron gates, the approach to Staveley House is both elegant and understated. A gravelled parking area bordered by mature hedging and established shrubs sets the scene, offering privacy from the roadside and a warm, natural welcome.
Around the back, the gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to offer distinct spaces for both the main house and the apartment. A private, decked terrace sits just beyond the house, an ideal spot to relax. For apartment guests, a separate patio area provides a peaceful corner to enjoy the same quiet setting, with space to sit and soak in the calm.
The garden offers just the right balance of seclusion, scenery and simplicity. A low-maintenance, high-comfort haven at the heart of this thriving Lakeland village.
