Greengate House, Levens, LA8 8PU

Greengate House is a historic and beautifully refurbished home situated in the heart of the highly sought-after Levens Village, enjoying stunning views over the Kent Estuary. This property perfectly combines character and contemporary comfort, retaining features such as the original leaded and stained-glass front door while benefiting from modern fixtures and fittings throughout. Recently converted by the reputable local builders Russell Armer, the home is finished to a high standard and offers a versatile and easily managed layout.

The accommodation is spacious and well-planned, with a welcoming entrance hall providing access to the first-floor staircase, lounge, dining kitchen, cloakroom and cellar. The generous living room is double-ended, offering a flexible space for both formal living and a snug area and features two front-aspect windows with shutters and a cast-iron woodburning stove set in a recess with an oak mantle, providing a warm focal point for colder months.

The impressive open-plan dining kitchen is a sociable and stylish space fitted with matt wall and base units with soft-close doors, granite work surfaces with matching upstands, and a bowl-and-a-half stainless steel sink with mixer tap. High-end integrated appliances include a smart Bosch oven, four-ring induction hob with glass splashback, and integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher. Wood-effect flooring, downlighters, two Velux rooflights and patio doors to the rear courtyard create a bright and practical space for dining and entertaining. The cloakroom is fitted with a contemporary two-piece suite and the cellar provides additional storage.

On the first floor, the split-level landing features a large window and Velux rooflight, with loft access offering potential for further conversion. The principal bedroom enjoys a front aspect with views over the Kent Estuary and beyond to Arnside Knott, fitted wardrobes, and a contemporary en suite shower room comprising a vanity wash hand basin, shower cubicle with chrome shower and concealed cistern WC. There are two further double bedrooms, one with similar estuary views and the other with a rear aspect. The family bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a vanity wash hand basin, panelled bath with chrome shower over, and WC.

The property enjoys the most delightful landscaped and well-tended gardens to the front, side and rear. The walled front and side gardens feature paved paths that lead through flower beds and well-stocked borders. The pretty paved patio is fully enclosed, walled, and includes a sheltered sitting area. It also provides access to the driveway with parking for two to three vehicles in front of the garage.

In addition, planning permission was obtained in August 2025 to convert the outhouses into a one-bedroom self-contained annex (reference 2025/1093/HOU), further enhancing the flexibility and potential of this exceptional home; with builders drawings available on request.

Greengate House is one of the oldest and most historically significant properties in Levens Village, and its combination of period charm, contemporary style, and practical living spaces, along with beautifully landscaped gardens, make it a truly exceptional home.
