Arlecdon, Frizington, CA26

A beautifully refurbished former vicarage, occupying a stunning semi rural position on the edge of Arlecdon village, with far reaching views towards the Ennerdale Valley and approximately 0.88 acres of adjoining glebe land. Glebe House offers generous and highly flexible family accommodation, superb outside space and excellent potential for a variety of rural uses.

The property has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owners to create a modern, comfortable and highly practical home, with the emphasis firmly on space, light and the exceptional surrounding setting. The accommodation begins with an entrance porch and welcoming hallway, leading to a bright and spacious lounge with patio doors and full length windows which open onto the garden and make the most of the wonderful views. The eastern elevation of the house benefits from extensive glazing, flooding the accommodation with natural light and providing far reaching views towards the Ennerdale Valley. Also on the ground floor are a separate dining room, beautifully appointed kitchen, utility room, WC and a versatile office/playroom which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom. To the first floor are four well proportioned bedrooms, a modern shower room and separate WC, with excellent fitted storage, a large landing cupboard and access to a substantial full width storage room. There is also scope to create additional bathroom or ensuite facilities, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the property is equally impressive, with attractive formal gardens incorporating generous areas of lawn, established planting and several seating areas. Two useful storage rooms are built into the fabric of the property, alongside a metal garden store and a brick-built BBQ/pizza oven. Beyond the formal garden lies approximately 0.88 acres of glebe land, offering considerable versatility and perfectly suited to those looking for additional outdoor space, including potential for grazing ponies, subject to suitability and the overage provisions affecting the land. A gated driveway provides offroad parking for several vehicles in addition to the large integral garage. Set on the edge of Arlecdon with stunning countryside immediately around it and the Ennerdale Valley close by, Glebe House offers an exceptional opportunity for families and those looking to relocate to west Cumbria, combining a peaceful rural setting with convenient access to neighbouring towns, employment centres and some of the finest walking country in the western Lake District.
