1 The Flags, Cartmel, Grange over Sands, Cumbria, LA11 6PN

Description Purchased in late 2019 and having undergone a thorough refurbishment throughout 2020, 1 The Flags really is a shining example of what hard work, vision, imagination and a good builder can achieve! Tastefully and carefully done using reclaimed and recycled materials where possible - these touches are subtle but apparent. The property speaks for itself. Technically a holiday let although the owners love it so much they try hard to keep it more to themselves, and it is easy to see why. It will have a broad appeal for the Investors in particular but with the Garden, Parking and Garage it is also a super property for a family perhaps.

The charming, low front door opens into the Hallway with stairs rising to the First Floor, useful under stairs cupboard with washing machine, attractive herringbone pattern, wood effect flooring and attractive, rustic, bespoke shelving unit. Lovely, sliding 'barn doors' open into the Lounge which has a dual aspect and spacious yet cosy feel. Exposed beams, attractive fireplace with wood burning stove with oak beam over, feature dark blue wall and a continuation of the herringbone pattern, wood effect flooring.


The Dining Kitchen is sunny, airy and spacious with ample room for a dining table. The Kitchen is shaker style in a 'cashmere colour' with white porcelain sink. Built-in electric oven with ceramic hob and cooker hood over; integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. Complementary dove grey subway wall tiles, ceramic tiled floor and patio door leading out into the wonderful Garden.

From the Entrance Hall, the stairs lead up to the First Floor with split level landing with 'Velux, window and loft hatch. There is a pull down ladder to the boarded loft which has power and light and houses the gas central heating 'combi' boiler. Currently excellent storage but this spacious area could perhaps have further potential if explored.


Bedrooms 1 and 2 are both Double rooms and enjoy a charming front aspect with views towards the stunning Priory Church. Bedroom 2 also has an attractive, exposed stone wall. Bedroom 3 is a single Bedroom, currently with bunkbeds and has a side aspect. The main Bathroom is superb - real hotel luxury feelings! This spacious room has a contemporary white suite comprising WC, pedestal wash hand basin, double walk in shower enclosure with large 'rain' head shower over and lovely, deep, double ended oval bath with floor taps. Ceramic floor tiles with complementary wall tiles and recessed ceiling spot lights. The separate Shower Room is also delightful with charming feature stone wall with WC, walk in shower and attractive, round wash hand basin on modern shelved vanity unit.

To the front is a secure and very useful 'Outhouse' with power, light and window. Excellent for additional freezers and tumble drier perhaps.

Yes, it is possible for this property to get even better!! The wonderful cherry on the cake is the Garden. Firstly a Garden in the centre of this village is a treat but a private, peaceful not over looked, sun trap of a Garden is almost something that does not exist in Cartmel! This incredible, very sunny space is a real bonus. A paved patio (ideal for outdoor dining) complete with patio heaters for the chillier months, a generous area of level lawn, built in barbecue, outdoor WC and open Store are all present! There are garden lights, outdoor power sockets and water tap. A perfect Garden for relaxation, entertaining, quiet family evenings, children or whatever you choose.

Finally a Single Garage with additional Parking Space plus a further Parking Space to the front of the property, which completes this fabulous picture. 

Location Perfectly located just off the the main Square of this historic and picturesque village, providing immediate and level access to the Public Houses, Restaurants and independent Shops. On the edge of the Village you will find the local Primary and Secondary Schools. This medieval village is renowned not only for its famous Priory, Gatehouse and their associated monastic architecture but in more recent times for the popular 'Cartmel Races', Annual Agricultural Show, Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding and the famed L'Enclume Restaurant. Cartmel is very convenient for the Lake District National Park and the foot of Lake Windermere and is approximately 25 minutes from the M6 Motorway.

For a wider range of amenities, the nearest town of Grange over Sands is approx 5 minutes by car and provides Medical Centre, Railway Station, Library, Post Office and a range of Shops, Cafes and Tearooms.
