Silverdale Road, Arnside, Carnforth, Cumbria, LA5

OVERVIEW

Having views over allotments and woodland at the front, gated off road parking plus a host of character features, this three bedroom home is sure to appeal to a range of buyers. Believed to be built by the Crossfield family, noted local Victorian boat builders, the property has well laid out accommodation with space for everyone. On the ground floor are two reception rooms plus a generous kitchen diner, whilst the first floor boasts three bedrooms (two of which are generous doubles) plus a bathroom and additional WC. Character features are retained with most rooms having period fireplaces, picture rails and traditional wooden doors. Stripped and varnished floorboards run throughout and the property has been decorated in complementary period tones.

ACCOMMODATION

Entering through the traditional metal gate from Silverdale Road, the character and charm of Brow Hill Cottage begins to reveal itself. The double storey box bay has black and white wood detailing and a traditional style front door welcomes you into the house. A vestibule provides space to shed wet coats and shoes and a glazed door allows natural light into the hallway beyond. The ground floor accommodation flows from the hallway, original style wooden doors lead to the lounge, dining room and kitchen and an attractive pitch pine staircase with central runner to the first floor.

-

The lounge is to the right, a lovely bright room with box bay window overlooking the front garden towards trees and allotments opposite. The period fireplace has attractive botanical inset tiles and there is a large ornate ceiling rose. The adjoining dining room also has a cast metal fireplace.

-

The generous kitchen diner runs the width of the house and is perfect for everyday dining and social gatherings. The large fireplace is the centre piece, fitted with a Coalbrookdale woodburner. The kitchen is fitted with cream shaker units with solid wood worktops, a gas hob with hood above and an electric oven. There is plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine plus there is a period style ceramic one and a half bowl sink. A door leads at the side to the rear garden.

-

The first floor landing feels generous with the pitch pine staircase being a lovely feature. There is access to the partially developed loft. Boarded and plastered and two Velux rooflights fitted, there is scope, subject to planning, to develop further and extend the accommodation. The principal bedroom is at the front - a lovely sized double room and the largest room in the house, with view across allotments to the trees beyond. The second double is at the side as is the third bedroom - a good sized single. All three bedrooms have period fireplaces.

-

The large bathroom is at the rear of the house - fitted with a traditional white three piece suite, half height tiling to the walls and a built in airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. There is a shower, full tiling and a screen above the bath. An extra WC adjoins the bathroom - a great idea for busy family mornings.

-

Outside, the property has more space than expected for a property of this age. The gravelled front garden has raised beds edged with stonework and there is the perfect spot for a bench by the lounge window. A path at the side leads past the porch and kitchen door and into the rear garden. Semi divided by clipped box hedging, the rear garden is zoned into a gravelled area close to the house and a lawn and parking area. The lawn is level and ideal for play and recreation and the gated gravelled parking area has space for 1-2 cars. Evergreen planting softens the boundary fencing and walls.

-

Attached to the house is a handy stone built outhouse/store housing the Worcester boiler and having power and light connected. There are two further stores at the bottom of the garden, ideal for outdoor gear, bikes and tools.
