Low Beckfoot Cottage, Casterton, LA6 2LE

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love Low Beckfoot Cottage:

1. A picturesque, rural setting with a 'miles from anywhere feel' - situated on the side of a quiet country lane, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, not far from the sought-after village of Casterton and award-winning market town Kirkby Lonsdale.

2. A beloved home for over 35 years it is time for new custodians to tailor to their requirements and make it their own, with an exciting opportunity to refurbish, reconfigure or extend with the relevant consents.

3. Spacious and characterful accommodation set over four floors with a gross internal measurement of 1952 sq ft (181.4 sq m excluding the cellar) and some attractive period features and lovely countryside views.

4. Come on in - a verandah style porch leads into a vestibule with built-in cupboard. The triple aspect dining room is open to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall units with twin ovens and a halogen hob. The hall with three piece shower room leads to a lovely and spacious dual aspect sitting room with glazed door out to the front garden, inset cupboard, arched recess with shelving and marble fireplace with wood burning stove.

5. Useful cellar, c. 144 sq ft (13.4 sq m) with stone steps and bench - an excellent storage space.

6. Sweet dreams - an attractive staircase made from yew leads to the first floor landing off which are three double bedrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, shower room and airing cupboard.

7. Second floor - an enclosed staircase leads to a landing. Access to the two rooms, bedroom 4 and occasional bedroom 5, is height restricted. There is also undereaves storage running the full length of the house.

8. Garaging and parking - a detached double garage is situated to the south of the property with power and light and an electric up and over door to the right hand side only. There is parking to front of the garage along with further off road parking to the front of the house.

9. Attractive, south facing cottage gardens bordering open fields at the rear - with level lawns, flagged seating terrace, deep planted borders, shrubs, trees and an octagonal greenhouse. There is also a west-facing low maintenance garden to the front of the house.

10. Highly convenient location - a great base for exploring the stunning surrounding countryside, the Dales and Lakes, the Lune Valley and the Forest of Bowland National Landscape. Fresh air and fun, whichever direction you take and whatever your pleasure. For travelling further afield, there is easy access onto the M6 at Junctions 34, 35, or 36 with the A65 for travelling east close by. There are train stations at Oxenholme and Lancaster, on the main west coast line with direct trains to the major cities and Manchester airport.

To find the property - from Kirkby Lonsdale head north on the A683; after passing through the village of Casterton and after just under a mile, turn left onto Lowfield Lane. Proceed on the country lane for 0.9 miles and Low Beckfoot Cottage is the first property on the right.
