Description

Sale of a generously proportioned traditional four bedroom detached white rendered Lakeland property.  Although ‘deceptively spacious’ is an over used phrase its certainly apt in this case. The property offers spacious and well proportioned split level accommodation, with four reception rooms and two bathrooms.  

A quirky property which originates from the 1650’s and has benefitted from subsequent additions over the years.  Offering a combination of original character features complimented by modern appointments.

Nestled with an attractive plot with extends to circa 1/3 of an acre. The property enjoys fabulous west facing views across the adjacent countryside towards Grizedale Forest whilst it has a lovely private manageable rear garden which enjoys excellent panoramic country views. With generous off road parking including a detached garage and two car ports.

Within the  sale of the property there is the opportunity subject to additional negotiation to acquire the paddock across the road which extends to approximately 2.4 acres. The paddock enjoys beautiful views up the valley and borders a stream at the bottom. It would be an amazing addition to the property allowing for numerous hobbies including horses, bikes, dog training and fishing. But ultimately it’s the control it would offer.

Although the property is currently enjoyed as a main residence it would equally be suitable whether as a holiday home or holiday let. Its estimated it could generate an annual gross income of £45,000 - £60,000.

Located in the rural village of Satterthwaite to the south of Hawkshead on the edge of Grizedale Forest which is the perfect place for families to explore, offering idyllic walks, cycling, Go Ape and much more. The property can be approached from the A590 and Rusland Valley to the south or from Hawkshead in the centre of the National Park. This property enjoys a wonderful peaceful location within a rural village which has a Public House, children’s play ground, communal tennis court and local Church. Accessible to the central Lakes and the market towns of Kendal and Ulverston.
