Location

Centrally located in the historic village of Cartmel, St Michael’s House enjoys an enviable position with first- and second-floor views across to the Priory and Hampsfell. The village itself offers an excellent selection of boutique shops, welcoming pubs and cafés, as well as the renowned Michelin-starred restaurants L’Enclume and Rogan & Co, all just a short walk away.

Description

The property is approached via on-road permit parking for two vehicles. The front door opens into an original flagged porch with fitted coat hooks and shoe storage. A staircase directly ahead ascends to the first floor, while a door to the right leads through into the lounge.

The lounge features a continuation of the original flagged flooring alongside soft carpeting. Character is provided by an exposed stone chimney breast with timber lintels, ceiling beams, shelving, and a multi-fuel stove set into the fireplace.

From the lounge, a door opens to a cosy snug, an ideal reading nook or additional sitting space, with access to both the kitchen and a separate home office. The office includes built-in shelving to the original alcoves.

The kitchen combines rustic charm with practical design, boasting stone-flagged flooring, exposed stone walls, and Velux roof lights that fill the room with natural light. Glazed doors open directly onto the garden, while a range of cupboards and worktops provide ample storage and preparation space. A Belfast sink is set within the worktop, and appliances include a gas cooker with five-burner hob, double oven and grill, with space for a fridge, freezer, and plumbing for a washing machine.

On the first floor, the landing provides access to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom spans the full width of the property and features two fitted wardrobes along with an original cast-iron fireplace. The second bedroom makes an ideal guest or teenager’s room, offering a versatile mezzanine level for sleeping above and a seating or chill-out area below, together with an en-suite shower room. The main bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a bath, separate shower enclosure with wall-mounted shower, WC, and pedestal wash basin.

To the rear of the property lies a generous lawn garden with established planted borders, a flagged patio, and a pond, all enclosed within a hedgerow boundary. At the bottom of the garden, a stone outbuilding with water supply and a timber shed with power provide excellent secure storage for garden equipment, bikes, and more.
