Briarswood, Old Hutton, Kendal, Cumbria, LA8 0NH

Set in the heart of the charming village of Old Hutton, Briarswood is a beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended three-bedroom detached home, offering generous living space, stunning gardens and a seamless blend of modern efficiency and rural charm. The property has been meticulously maintained and updated, including uPVC double glazing throughout and a recently installed ground source heat pump system, providing energy-efficient heating all year round.

Entering through the front porch, you're welcomed into a bright and spacious entrance hallway with parquet-style flooring and soft lighting that immediately sets a warm, inviting tone. From here, the home flows effortlessly, with two useful storage cupboards, one cleverly fitted beneath the stairs to maximise space and another that's perfectly suitable for use as a walk-in pantry. Just off the hall, a well-appointed downstairs WC adds everyday convenience.

Double glass-paned doors open into the beautifully styled living room, where natural light pours in through dual-aspect windows. At the heart of the room, a traditional open fireplace with mantle creates a cosy focal point, flanked by charming fireside alcoves with bespoke built-in shelving. An ideal space for relaxing and taking in the serene font aspect views, across the thoughtfully landscaped garden.

The rear of the property opens into a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family space that truly forms the heart of the home. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units, finished with silestone work surfaces, a Belfast sink and a central island with breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a fridge-freezer and dishwasher, while a range-style oven completes the contemporary, yet country-inspired design. This space flows seamlessly into a generous dining area and an extended sun room, flooded with natural light from dual Velux windows and French door that perfectly blend indoor and outdoor living, leading out onto the sandstone patio and garden. Whether it's casual family breakfasts or entertaining guests, this flexible space is as practical as it is beautiful.

Off the kitchen, a rear hallway leads to a dedicated utility room with matching base units, generous worktop space and a porcelain Belfast sink. There is space and plumbing for a washer and dryer . Direct internal access to the garage is found off the rear hallway. A further porch, accessed from the sun room, offers another convenient access point to the garage and garden.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing is wide and airy, perfect for use as a home office area with plenty of natural light and loft access. All three bedrooms are generous doubles, with the primary suite enjoying dual windows and a contemporary en-suite shower room, finished with stylish decorative tiled flooring, a walk-in shower with rainfall head, wash hand basin, low-level WC and a heated towel rail. The family bathroom is equally well finished, featuring a freestanding bath, separate walk-in shower with rainfall head, WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and the same elegant tile flooring, adding a touch of luxury to everyday routines.

Externally, the home occupies a delightful plot with mature borders and a beautifully landscaped garden. A sandstone terrace with a feature pergola provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy al fresco dining, overlooking the gentle beck that runs alongside the property. There is private off-road parking, as well as a spacious integral garage with power and lighting.

Briarswood is particularly well-suited to younger families, with the highly regarded Old Hutton C of E Primary School just a short walk away, offering an excellent start to education in a friendly and nurturing village setting. For older students, the property falls within the catchment area for Queen Elizabeth School in Kirkby Lonsdale, a consistently high-performing and sought-after secondary school.
