Peel Oak, New Barns Road, Arnside, Cumbria, LA5 0BB

A truly remarkable and exquisitely presented family home, privately positioned behind electric gates in one of Arnside's most desirable addresses. Offering beautifully balanced accommodation, exceptional entertaining spaces, a home gym and professionally landscaped gardens, Peel Oak presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a luxurious home in the heart of this sought-after coastal village.

The Location

Nestled within the heart of Arnside, Peel Oak enjoys an enviable setting in the picturesque coastal village of Arnside, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the southern edge of Cumbria and within easy reach of the Lake District National Park.

Arnside has long been admired for its unspoilt scenery, exceptional views across the Kent Estuary and a relaxed pace of life within a thriving village community. Independent cafés, restaurants and shops line the village centre, whilst the iconic promenade and Victorian pier provide the perfect setting to enjoy spectacular sunsets and the famous tidal bore. The village also benefits from a railway station offering direct links to Lancaster, Manchester and beyond, making it ideal for commuters and those seeking an accessible retreat.

For lovers of the outdoors, Peel Oak is perfectly placed. Woodland walks begin almost from the doorstep, leading either down to the estuary for peaceful shoreline strolls and refreshments at the much-loved Bob-In Café, or climbing through ancient woodland to the summit of Arnside Knott, where panoramic views stretch across Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland Fells. Whether you're an enthusiastic walker, cyclist or simply appreciate being surrounded by nature, this truly is a location that offers something for everyone.

The Property

Set discreetly behind electric gates and approached via a sweeping driveway, Peel Oak immediately creates a sense of arrival. The mature surroundings and generous frontage offer complete privacy whilst establishing the elegance that continues throughout the home.

Stepping inside, the impressive reception hall provides a warm welcome and sets the tone for the beautifully appointed accommodation beyond.

The principal sitting room is an outstanding family space extending to approximately 22 feet, flooded with natural light from a magnificent bay window and full-width sliding doors that effortlessly connect the interior with the gardens beyond. Beautifully presented in soft neutral tones, the room offers ample space for both relaxed family living and entertaining, with room for a grand piano if desired. A contemporary gas fireplace and bespoke entertainment wall provide an attractive focal point, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting.

Complementing the main reception room is a cosy snug, offering a more intimate retreat for quiet evenings or an ideal second sitting room for older children and teenagers to enjoy their own space.

A dedicated home office provides an excellent environment for those working remotely, whilst a stylish cloakroom adds everyday practicality.

The Heart of the Home

Without question, the true centrepiece of Peel Oak is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and garden room.

Created as part of a thoughtfully designed extension completed in 2015, this breathtaking space has been carefully designed to blur the boundaries between inside and out. Expansive glazed walls frame the beautifully landscaped gardens, whilst impressive bi-folding doors open directly onto the patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months. Above, a striking roof lantern floods the space with natural light throughout the day.

The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base cabinetry, complemented by elegant granite work surfaces and matching upstands. Integrated appliances include twin ovens, an induction hob, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, ensuring both practicality and style.

Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen, the dining and garden room provides a stunning setting for entertaining family and friends throughout the seasons. Underfloor heating ensures the space remains warm and welcoming during the winter months, making it equally suited to cosy evenings as it is to summer celebrations with the doors thrown open onto the garden.

A well-equipped utility room provides additional storage, laundry facilities and direct access to the side terrace, perfect after returning from countryside walks or days exploring the surrounding coastline.

First Floor

Ascending the elegant staircase, the sense of quality and craftsmanship continues throughout the first floor. Recently redecorated in 2026, this level has been beautifully refreshed in a sophisticated palette, creating bright, contemporary accommodation with all bedroom having fully fitted furniture that are ready to move straight into.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, thoughtfully designed to cater for both growing families and those seeking flexible living.

The impressive principal suite provides a luxurious retreat, enjoying generous proportions and an abundance of natural light. A dedicated dressing room offers excellent fitted storage, while the beautifully appointed en-suite shower with modern heated and sensor-activated illuminated mirror, creates a boutique hotel feel, providing the perfect sanctuary at the beginning and end of each day.

Bedroom Two is another spacious double room and benefits from its own contemporary en-suite shower room, complete with a stylish walk-in shower, modern heated and sensor-activated illuminated mirror, making it ideal for guests or older family members seeking additional independence.

Bedroom Three is a generous double bedroom, offering ample space for a range of bedroom furniture and enjoying pleasant views over the surrounding gardens.

Currently utilised as a home office, Bedroom Four demonstrates the versatility of the accommodation and could equally serve as a nursery, child's bedroom, hobby room or additional guest bedroom to suit individual requirements.

Completing the first floor is the beautifully appointed family bathroom, fitted with a contemporary four-piece suite comprising a P-shaped bath with shower over, a wall-hung wash hand basin, a concealed cistern WC and a bidet. Modern heated and sensor-activated illuminated mirrors add a touch of luxury, creating a stylish and practical space finished to an exceptional standard.

Lifestyle & Leisure

Beyond the main accommodation, Peel Oak continues to impress.

The garage benefits from an electric door, whilst an adjoining home gym offers exceptional versatility. Whether utilized as a fitness studio, hobby room, creative workspace, teenage retreat or games room, this flexible area can easily adapt to suit a family's changing needs.

Outside

The beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to provide complete privacy whilst creating a series of delightful outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the day.

Mature trees, established shrubs and colourful planting wrap gracefully around the property, creating a wonderful sense of seclusion. Automatic driveway lighting guides visitors towards the house, whilst additional lighting around the gardens enhances the atmosphere after sunset.

Several terraces and seating areas have been carefully positioned to capture the sunshine at different times of day, providing idyllic spaces for morning coffee, alfresco dining or simply relaxing with a glass of wine whilst enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings.

To the rear, a beautifully manicured lawn is completely enclosed, offering a secure haven for children and pets whilst framed by mature planting that provides exceptional privacy.
