Beckside House, Old Hutton, Kendal, Cumbria, LA8 0NF

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Old Hutton, surrounded by rolling greenery and open countryside, this charming stone-built end-terraced cottage offers a wonderful blend of rural tranquillity and modern comfort. Thoughtfully updated, the home retains a wealth of character, including exposed wooden beams and traditional finishes throughout.

Entry is via a delightful gabled porch, providing a practical space for muddy boots, ideal after countryside walks, before a timber cottage door opens into the welcoming interior.

From the hallway, the ground floor accommodation unfolds. To the left, a versatile room currently used as a home office could equally serve as a fifth bedroom. Adjacent lies Bedroom Three, a bright dual-aspect double room with built-in wardrobe space, perfectly suited for guests, with a well appointed ground floor shower room located next door. The shower room features a walk-in shower with glass screen and panelled walls, a floating wash hand basin, WC and a heated towel radiator.

To the right hand side of the property, a central reception room forms the heart of the home. With a dual aspect to the front and rear, this inviting space is centred around a multi-fuel stove set within an exposed stone surround, with a slate hearth and timber beam mantle, creating an ideal setting for a sociable dining area just off the kitchen.

A couple of steps lead down into the kitchen, another light filled dual aspect space, fitted with modern wall and base units, part tiled walls, an electric hob with extractor and oven. There is space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a washer dryer. A partially separated area offers built-in shelving and storage, ideal for shoes and everyday essentials, with a door providing external access.

Ascending to the first floor, you are welcomed into a bright and spacious living area. Featuring a further multi-fuel stove and vaulted wooden ceilings, this impressive room is enhanced by expansive windows framing uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside, where grazing livestock complete the idyllic scene.

From the living area, a corridor leads to two further bedrooms and the house bathroom. Bedroom Two is a generous dual-aspect double, enjoying the same stunning rural outlook, with exposed beams and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom Four is positioned to the front and offers a cosy single room, also with built-in storage. The house bathroom is fitted with tiled walls, a panelled bath with overhead shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

On the opposite wing, the principal bedroom forms a spacious and tranquil retreat, benefitting from both front and rear aspect windows that flood the room with natural light while showcasing the surrounding landscape.

Externally, the property enjoys off-road parking via a private driveway. The garden wraps from the side around to the rear, offering a pleasant outdoor space to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.

Despite its rural charm, the property is conveniently located just a short drive from the market town of Kendal, providing a wide range of amenities. The home is well suited to a variety of buyers, including families, with the highly regarded Old Hutton Church of England Primary School nearby. For secondary education, the property falls within the catchment for Queen Elizabeth School, known for its strong academic reputation.

For commuters, excellent transport links are within easy reach. Oxenholme Lake District railway station provides direct access to the West Coast Main Line, with regular services to London Euston, Manchester, and Glasgow, while the M6 (Junction 36) just 6 miles away, ensures convenient road travel.

Surrounded by scenic walks and outdoor pursuits, this is a truly special home offering the best of countryside living with accessibility and convenience.
