Cream tones to the walls lend the home a classic country feel inkeeping with its heritage. Stealing the scene is the impressive stone fireplace, within which an open fire is inset upon a black hearth.

Taking the stairs up from the entrance hall, pause on the turn to admire the view from the pretty leaded windows, framed in hardwood and imperceptibly double glazed throughout.

Turning left, next to a deep linen cupboard, sneak a peek at the sumptuous second bedroom.

Shrubs including a variety of azaleas and rhododendrons add colour and texture to this traditional Lakeland Garden, where outcrops of rock add a picturesque element.
