Brief Résumé

Splendid three bedroomed character property situated in the peaceful rural village of Ireby on the edge of the Northern Lake District National Park. Newly extended and with recent renovations, this property is a superb home for anyone lucky enough to own it.

Description

This charming, beautifully presented detached cottage sits on the edge of the village and enjoys breath-taking views of the surrounding open countryside and fells beyond. The property is a mix of warm and cosy with a contemporary twist and offers wonderful living space. Ireby is well placed to enjoy the quiet life but also able to access the town of Wigton just 7 miles away and Cockermouth and Keswick both approximately 12 miles away. The village benefits from a primary school, local pub, St James’s church and Village Hall and has a friendly community feel.

As you approach the property, a wooden gate gives access to a large, gravelled area created for parking. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with block paved path leading to the front porch. From here you enter the kitchen/dining room. A wonderful spacious room with cream coloured AGA and full range of base units with solid wood, work tops. Turn to your left and you enter the newly constructed sunroom with dual aspect windows and stunning views. This room blends rustic with modern comfort with one wall being exposed stone adding texture and style. Glazed double doors enter the utility room with plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer with a door giving access to the cloakroom. Returning to the kitchen, a door leads to the siting room, a cosy, warm room with woodburning stove housed in the chimney breast. A window looks to the front garden with lovely views. A little step up and the open plan staircase takes you to the first-floor landing. To the end is bedroom one, a double room with feature fireplace and built in wardrobes. Bedroom two is also a double with window facing the front with views. Across from this room is a door that accesses a large under eaves cupboard, a wonderful space for storage. To the other end of the landing is bedroom three, a single room with window to the side. To complete this floor is the bathroom with bath and shower above.

To the rear of the property and accessed from the kitchen is a lovely size patio area with steps leading to the upper garden with potting shed, further shed and a garden laid to lawn with mature shrubs and plants. The views form here are spectacular. To the front and out of the front gate is a good size store that houses the oil boiler, oil tank and hot water cylinder with light and power and plenty of space for storing bikes.
