Davanholme & Pottery Cottage is an outstanding chance to own a four-bedroom detached residence with an adjoining two bedroom cottage, presented to an immaculate standard throughout and situated in the highly regarded and well-served village of Skelton in Cumbria. The property has been finished to an exceptional level and is offered to the market as a beautifully appointed family home, complemented by an adjoining two-bedroom income-generating cottage, Pottery Cottage, creating a versatile and appealing proposition for a wide range of purchasers.
Together, the two properties occupy an enviable plot with well-stocked gardens to the front and rear, ample off road parking and a workshop area, offering a genuine sense of privacy and seclusion within this vibrant and community-focused village setting.

Davanholme — Accommodation - At the heart of the ground floor is a generously proportioned open-plan living, dining and kitchen space — a light filled and sociable hub of the home, ideal for everyday family living and entertaining alike. The separate living room has dual aspect windows and offers a lovely lounge with a multi-fuel stove. The property is completed with a generously sized and inviting inner hallway, utility room, a ground-floor WC, and a flexible-use room currently configured as a home office, which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom subject to individual requirements.

Pottery Cottage - Adjoining the main residence to the side, there is a self-contained two-bedroom property offering excellent income-generating potential as a holiday let or long-term rental. Equally well-suited to multigenerational family use, the cottage provides independent and comfortable accommodation with its own separate access, making it a genuinely versatile and attractive feature of this overall offering.

Gardens, Grounds & External Features - The gardens are a particular feature of the property, extending to both the front and rear and providing a genuinely peaceful retreat. A number of thoughtfully positioned terraces allow enjoyment of the morning, afternoon and evening sunshine throughout the seasons. The grounds further comprise well-maintained lawns, mature shrubbery, a greenhouse, a small woodland area, and ample parking provision for both the main house and the cottage.
In addition, there is further development potential (STP) with the workshop/store/open garage space to the side and an undercroft storage room, the latter offering a substantial space currently being used to store cycles and garden equipment. This flexible use storage space sits under the cottage, runs the length of the cottage and is accessed by the garden.
