This is your opportunity to buy a slice of Lake District history; Thwaite is a 16th Century Grade II listed farmhouse with a separate detached barn, set in a total of just over half an acre with gardens and orchard offering a unique lifestyle. Welcome to Thwaite, Troutbeck, Windermere, LA23 1PF Restored using traditional methods and craftsmen in late 1980s, having not been occupied since the 1820s, languishing for years as a farm store, tractor shed and luxurious chicken coop, it is now ready to inspire the next generation with its exciting potential to transform it for 21st Century living. There are stunning views across the valley and up the Troutbeck Horseshoe, part of Wainwright’s Far Eastern fells, and due south, down the valley. The Troutbeck Valley is a Conservation Area and home to a picturesque scattering of period houses including the National Trust property of 17th Century Townend. Dating back to 1541 with additions in the 1700s, on the ground floor Thwaite offers a porch leading into a hall, two spacious reception rooms, one with a gallery above, a dining kitchen, small study, a shower room and rear hall/store. Rising to the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a bathroom and gallery. On the lower ground floor is a small cellar room. Across the informal courtyard where free range chickens look perfectly at home, there is a detached traditional L shaped bank-barn, with one big space on the ground floor, accessed from the roadside and three shippons on the lower ground floor, accessed from the courtyard.  Location Trout Beck flows along the bottom of this steep verdant valley, the village itself being protected by not only being within the very heart of the National Park, but also a designated Conservation Area and quite rightly so, it is unique in terms of vernacular architecture, the grouping of the dwellings and the views. Not much has changed over the centuries that Thwaite has been standing with a rich history dating back to the times of King Henry VIII. Troutbeck lies almost equidistant between Lakeland honeypots of Ambleside and Bowness; the village itself is ever popular with walkers, the village shop, now a tea room does a roaring trade in the season and the pubs are popular with locals and visitors alike. However busy the village may get, positioned just off the main thoroughfare, set down off the lane and tucked behind the barn for privacy, Thwaite enjoys a peaceful and quiet setting with two nearby properties (Low House Farm and Birkett House) which offer the advantage of security that neighbours can bring but due to the configuration do not impinge on the privacy of Thwaite in any way. The views are breath-taking with each room offering a different aspect; to the east they are straight across the valley towards Garburn and the Kentmere Pass with the occasional house peppering the fields, whilst the views to the north and south take in other village properties and roof tops with the surrounding fells as a backdrop to village life. The adjoining fields have been a source of joy for the family over the decades bringing wildlife right to the door and seeing new life come forth in spring with lambing. If you love to stretch your legs then the network of footpaths that are available straight from the front door is hard to beat. Walk, run, hike or cycle, the area is an adventure playground for fans of fresh air and fun. Easy to reach off the main A591 from a variety of different directions there is also a train station in Windermere which is the head of a branch line from Oxenholme on the main West Coast line. From their family to yours, a slice of history The vendors’ father William Harvey Elias, known locally as ‘Bill’, was a chartered surveyor working in Liverpool. His father had rented Low House next door to Thwaite in the 1930s and got to know the owners. When Low House Farm came up at auction in 1956 Bill had the vision to buy the estate which came with the abandoned "old house", Thwaite, a Tudor building from 1541, with the long-term plan to bring Thwaite back to life. The southern part of the house, known in the family as the ‘music room’ is thought to have been an addition in the 1700s. Thwaite had not been lived in since the early 1800s and was used as a farm store by the local farmer, his tractor was stored in the end room, a gate for access in the gable end where the large window is now. The family remembers “exploring the house in the 1960s when there were no floors on the upper level and climbing on the beams and round the edges of the rooms.” Mr and Mrs Elias always wanted to restore the "old house" and finally received permission in the early 1980s. As it was a Grade II Listed building they were keen to retain as many of the original features as possible. Using local craftsmen, the restoration project took five years and they moved into Thwaite in 1991. Mr Elias died in 2001 enjoying 10 happy years in the house and Mrs Elias continued to live there until 2021 fulfilling her wish to live there for the rest of her days, such was her love for this wonderful property. The house has passed to the next generation and it with a heavy heart that it is now offered for sale as it has been a much treasured family home. Historic England’s website lists the house as Grade II and in the entry dated 1974 describes it as an “outbuilding to the Low House.” It goes on to say “This was the original farmhouse, now an outbuilding, probably C16. Stone rubble, old roof of graded slates, 2 low storeys. A 2-storeyed gabled porch, and remains of wood mullioned windows. A gabled wing has an external chimney stack. A south wing is lower. Interior said to have original staircase with turned balusters, and moulded wood partitions. Now used only for farm storage.” The entry has not been updated but clearly a lot has changed. The restoration undertaken in the 1980s was carefully executed with oak mullion windows installed, oak panelled internal walls restored, flagged floors and stone steps overhauled, beams and exposed roof and ceiling timbers revived and replaced where necessary before being skilfully replastered using traditional lime plaster. The main entrance is through a traditional porch where logs are stacked either side for convenience, the original door is on the outside, but a second glazed oak door has been added internally to keep out the draughts. Off the hall with its flagged floor are the two main living spaces, these two reception rooms provide a real contrast – the first, the sitting room is centrally placed and is the type of room that has been portrayed in paintings countless times over the years of life in a traditional farmhouse; instantly welcoming and immensely characterful. At one end is a high stone mantelpiece housing a wood burning stove, there are irregular width oak floor boards and plenty of space for both gathering around the fire on a cold evening and laying a large dining table for family gatherings. The second, the ‘music room’ so called as Mr Elias “loved classical music and played the piano so he loved to sit in the music room and listen to music” has a wow factor of a different type altogether. Built as an extension in the 1700s it is double height with a ceiling rising to the apex and with windows to three sides (one with an oak window seat and two with fitted oak shutters) light floods into this airy room with its pale oak parquet floor. Reminiscent of a minstrel’s gallery, a mezzanine floor has been built at one end and is accessed off the main bedroom; it’s a lovely design feature. The kitchen is a good size and whilst the units will definitely be on the list for replacement it does have certain features that may prove to the framework for your future plans – a beamed ceiling, a dual aspect, an old outer door to the garden (with a traditional horizontal flag providing shelter outside) with an oak and glass inner door, a solid fuel stove, oak mullion windows and cills and a pine boarded floor. There’s a lot to work with. The little cellar is worth a mention, narrow stone steps lead down (watch your head if you’re tall), there’s an oak mullion window and stone flagged bench and floor. The study was used as a snug over the decades; one family member recalls “a few of us would cram in and watch Match of the Day. When the house was full with family staying I’d often be the lucky one to get a mattress to sleep on in there as it was all nice and cosy - from that room you can hear everything that goes on in the house!” According to “The story of the old homesteads and ‘statesman’ families of Troutbeck by Windermere’ by S H Scott this room historically was known as ‘The Bower’ and was where the Lord and Lady of the Manor would sleep. The dictionary definition of ‘bower’ being ‘an attractive dwelling or retreat, a lady's private apartment in a medieval hall or castle.’ How fitting! Worthy of note, at the foot of the stairs is an unusual section of flooring with smooth stones, thought to have come from Trout Beck, laid on edge to decorative effect. Stone steps rise to the first floor where original character is all around – oak floor boards of varying widths, oak uprights in the internal walls and beautifully worn and aged oak doors with rustic wooden latches or cast iron handles, the metal worn thin by decades of use. The floors often have a gently slope to them, as one family member adds “the creaky floorboard by the bathroom gave us hours of fun trying not to step on it and wake up those sleeping”. There are three double bedrooms and a spacious house bathroom which itself h...

Welcome to Parkgate Cottage, The Square, Cartmel, LA11 6QB In a wonderful position in the heart of this historic Conservation Area village with unrivalled views of the racecourse and a very private walled courtyard garden, this surprising spacious and quaint 1800 sq ft period cottage offers characterful and utterly charming accommodation including three well sized bedrooms, all with ensuites and a stunning first floor sitting room with a wall of windows for year round, unimpeded views of the countryside and ‘front row seats’ for all the action; race weekends, Cartmel Country Show and the summer music concerts. It really is exceptional. Originally part of the village Post Office and shop, the cottage has benefited from an impressive two storey extension designed to make the most of the unique setting. All together it now offers well proportioned, comfortable and flexible accommodation that would be perfect for full time living, as a super second home or as an investment opportunity targeting food lovers visiting this gastronomic destination. Cross the threshold and step into the entrance hall, there’s a garden room leading out to the courtyard garden, a well equipped dining kitchen, utility room and cloakroom and a ground floor suite of bedroom, shower room and dressing room. The spacious and airy first floor landing has glazed double doors opening to the piece de resistance, a fabulous sitting room with triple aspect and racecourse views including the dramatic final straight. There are two further double bedrooms, both having en-suite shower rooms. The enclosed and private courtyard garden opens to the banks of Middlefield Beck and is an absolute delight. This is an excellent opportunity to live, holiday or invest in a property that is every bit as unique as the setting and village. Location As a village, Cartmel takes its name from the Cartmel Peninsula, and was historically known as Kirkby in Cartmel. At the heart of the Conservation Area village is the 12th Century Priory (founded in 1190) which has been a destination for pilgrims and visitors long before the racecourse became an attraction in the mid 1800s and certainly centuries before the village became a food lover’s paradise. It is now home to a wide variety of traditional Lakeland inns, tea rooms and cutting edge gourmet restaurants with Simon Rogan’s various establishments (three Michelin starred fine dining at L’Enclume, Rogan & Co (one Michelin star) and Aulis at L’Enclume, his chef’s table and development kitchen, a great choice of characterful pubs and tea shops. There is also Unsworth’s Yard which is home to a host of local artisan food and drink producers and retailers; Cartmel Cheeses, Cartmel Wine Shop and Wine Lounge, The Bread Shed (for the sale of traditional baked goods and also pizza evenings) and a microbrewery with tap bar and shop. It is the race meetings that see the population of this humble Cumbrian village swell considerably. Parkgate Cottage gives you a front row seat for all the action be it the national hunt racing nine days a year (from Whit weekend through to the last meet over the August bank holiday weekend), the music concerts that are staged on the racecourse during the summer months or historic Cartmel’s Country Show, it’s been going since 1873. The village itself centers around a quaint square, with a market cross and water pump. Cartmel houses a variety of galleries and shops including the Village Shop, home of sticky toffee pudding where this delectable treat is sold by the basket load to national and international visitors and also shipped worldwide. The square is also the focal point of the village at Christmas for the big switch on of the Christmas tree lights and the traditional piping in of the New Year. Right in the heart of things, Parkgate Cottage is located just off the square and attached to the rear of the village shop. Other than the specialty shops there is a well-stocked Premier Shop for everyday essentials with the nearest supermarkets being regional favourite Booths in Windermere and Ulverston. These days supermarket deliveries are of course commonplace, but both Kendal and Ulverston have a wider selection if you prefer to shop in person. Whilst itself just outside of the Lake District National Park, Cartmel is the perfect location for those looking to walk the fells and hills of Lakes, living at Parkgate Cottage offers the opportunity for exploration, as well as some great walks straight from the door. The Lake District must surely be the ultimate adventure playground for those keen on an outdoor life – whether you like to hike or walk, ramble or run, cycle, sail or embrace a spot of wild swimming. For children of school age there are primary and secondary schools in the village, for sixth form, students move on to schools in either Ulverston, Windermere or Kendal.  Step inside  Parkgate Cottage has a unique layout which has been designed to fully embrace and maximise enjoyment of the extra special views and also offer flexibility with regard to sleeping arrangements. The cottage has the majority of the living accommodation on the ground floor with the primary reception room on the first floor; overlooking the racecourse, the wonderfully light and westerly facing sitting room is exceptionally special, not only does it have unrivalled views of the final straight which immediately draw you forward upon entering the room, but the ceiling dramatically rises up to the roof apex and there are exposed timbers and a welcoming gas stove. Trust us, invitations will be greatly sought by your family and friends to visit, especially on race days – you’ve front row seats of all the action from this elevated position! The view also takes in the delightful Middlefield Beck, a popular dip for muddy dogs returning from the woods after a walk before getting in their cars for home.The views over the racecourse are very special whatever the day or weather, but during the autumn months they are exceptional when the trees beyond the course display a spectrum of golden and copper tones. Also facing due west, the second reception room is the garden room – a lovely day room which has French windows opening to the courtyard garden. Enjoying the evening sun, by lowering the wall of the garden you’d be able to enjoy an aspect to the racecourse, but the privacy is also really rather nice, especially on a busy day in the village. The dining kitchen is a sociable space with plenty of room for a table and with a sizeable window onto the lane it makes the most wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by. The kitchen has an extensive range of cabinets painted in a sunny buttermilk cream with black granite worktops. Well equipped, there is a four ring gas hob, double oven with grill, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. The light utility room has great storage, a door to outside, a sink unit for messy jobs, washing machine and tumble drier (vented externally). Storage space in cottages is often tight, but here an internal passageway has a wall of excellent cupboards as well as a downstairs cloakroom. There are three double bedrooms, all of which have their own private shower rooms. Giving the option for single level living is the ground floor suite where a double bedroom is linked to a shower room with a dressing room. The remaining two bedrooms are both on the first floor and have ceilings rising to the roof apex with exposed characterful timbers. Both have ensuite shower rooms.  Step outside The walled courtyard has been laid with Indian sandstone flags to reduce upkeep to a minimum. It has just the right amount of space to accommodate an outside dining set as well as some more relaxed seating or a bench under the slight roof overhang of the garden room. A short flight of steps lead down to a tall wooden gate which opens to the grass on the side of the beck – an alternative vantage point for cheering on the racing action. A second tall wooden gate provides pedestrian access onto the lane and is handy if you are bringing in garden supplies or returning home with bikes, a pram, muddy boots or dogs.  Round the side of the cottage enroute to the utility room is an area tucked away out of sight that makes the ideal position for bins and the shed.  Services Mains electricity, gas, water and drainage.

It now comprises thirteen unique and highly individual homes set in a private estate of around 13 acres, the beautifully landscaped grounds feature woodlands, extensive lawns, water features, a tennis court and fishpond. Purchased by the present owners in 2022, The Wing has been painstakingly refitted to create a modern and vibrant family home that is sleek and contemporary with stylish decoration, high end interior fittings, all wrapped up in the charismatic appeal of this impressive and characterful period exterior.  Beyond this are the wider estate grounds. This is an exceptionally special property, unique on all counts, one that would be a privilege to call ‘home’.  Vendor insight   Work commitments are taking us away from Ingmire Hall but we have thoroughly enjoyed our time here as a family and will very much miss all that it has given us. Location Howgill Fells rise to greet you. The setting and views are breathtaking. Ingmire Hall is set a mile and a half to the west of Sedbergh which, as the nearest town, has a comprehensive range of local amenities centered on an attractive Main Street being home to an array of independent retailers, including a traditional grocer and butcher, ironmonger, florist, sweet shop and a Spar supermarket.

Vendor insight    The internal window is not only safety glass but also has extra sound proofing so the children can watch their programs in the kitchen and we can watch ours in the sitting room. We’d designed the desks in the main bedroom to enable us to work from home but have actually enjoyed working at the dining table as the views through to the garden are great and we remain on hand if the children need us. Step outside Whether you are looking for a private spot to grab a quiet moment or a family barbecue, the roof terrace is delightful, immensely private and the views are wonderful. The pergola is an impressive addition making this an all-weather outdoor space – the owners tell us that they’ve enjoyed it throughout the seasons, even when it’s been snowing, with the heaters on, it’s warm and cosy and magical watching the snow silently fall on the estate grounds. On a clear dark night, the roof panels can be opened to indulge in a spot of star gazing.    The lawn in front is private to The Wing and the lawn beyond that is shared with The Main Hall, the adjoining property. A gravel area to the side provides dedicated parking for 1 car and there are further visitor spaces around the estate. Vendor insight   If you needed extra space, there are some communal sheds available to rent on a monthly basis. It hasn’t been an issue for us as we’ve the room at the side of the house for bike and garden cushion storage. There are so many different places to enjoy within the grounds. In the warmer months we like to take a portable barbecue either up to Tennis House (the views are great, especially back towards the Hall) or down by the fishpond, we’ve set up hammocks in the Fairy Garden with the children, enjoyed drinks with neighbours by the Tennis House and joined in with fireworks. We’ve enjoyed the stillness and calm of the setting.

Position, position, position! Beckside Croft enjoys an enviable south facing position, sitting in generous and private gardens and grounds of circa 3.5 acres (in total) with views of neighbouring Black Combe. Tucked away at the edge of the village it has a quiet and tranquil situation yet remains within walking distance of local amenities.   The vendors’ parents bought a green field site in the late 1960s and in 1970 built the home they designed for their growing family, Beckside Croft and celebrated completion with a Lakeland slate date plaque on the gable end. Great thought went into choosing the exact site for the house and as keen gardeners themselves to the layout of the gardens and grounds as well. That consideration and vision has now been fully realized and after fifty years there is now a wonderfully established garden where every season brings new colour and point of interest. The house itself is in many respects unmodernised since construction and is now ready for refurbishment and for the next generation to put their own stamp on this much loved family home. How we live has changed over the decades and so there is scope for remodelling to create a more contemporary layout. The light and airy accommodation, the existing large picture windows and 360 degree views are a great start for a more open plan ground floor living space and for the bedrooms to be modified. There’s also the potential to incorporate the single storey garage into the living space (as there’s plenty of space to build a detached garage elsewhere in the grounds) and build out over the top – the view from here over the garden towards Black Combe and Corney Fell would make for a stunning master bedroom suite. There are some stylish features that date back to the original build such as the stunning self supporting wooden curved staircase with oak, treads and a handrail that was salvaged from a church. There are parquet floors in the hall, sitting room and dining room and a striking copper open fire surround in the sitting room. Worthy of note is the reception hall which is light and spacious, a lovely space in which to welcome guests. The staircase rises from here with double height windows allowing the light to flood in; the sun coming in through the first floor panes of glass on a summer’s evening is a delight. The main living room is L shaped which allows for extensive seating arrangements. This would make an optimum entertaining area for large parties and family gatherings, especially at Christmas. Picture windows take in the dual aspect with sliding doors out to the south facing main garden. For everyday dining the separate, south facing dining room with views over the lawn and the garden is usually sufficient. The kitchen is straight out of an 1970 edition of Ideal Home magazine and whilst we appreciate it will be part of any refurbishment in the meantime it has its own charm and will provide excellent storage, alongside the utility room and pantry. A door from the kitchen leads to a loggia, a covered and enclosed external seating area with one side open to the south facing garden allowing you to be outside whatever the weather, but sheltered and out of any breeze. It’s a real treat. To the rear of this is an enclosed yard with a door from the utility room. This enables the oil tank and other fuel items to be tucked away out of sight but with a gate to the garden and drive there’s easy access. It’s another example of the careful thought that went into the design of Beckside Croft. The first floor landing is roomy and has space for a big comfy chair – north facing with a picture window the light quality is particularly good and this makes a great spot for reading. All of the bedrooms face south, some are dual aspect. The principal bedroom has a balcony and ensuite shower room, the second double bedroom has a wash basin. There are then three single bedrooms. There is another generous room on the first floor – designed as a second sitting room (and we can see why, triple aspect with great views and light) it has also been a playroom and additional double bedroom over the years. On the gable end next to the flat roof of the garage, there’s potential to install bi-fold doors and have a roof terrace here or build out over the garage – so much potential. The attached double garage has an up and over door, power and light. There’s a workbench with shelving above fitted at the back. Beyond the garage is a general purpose garden store. Most of the house has PVC windows although there are a few wooden framed single glazed windows remaining (in the cloakroom, utility room, garage). The house is sold with carpets, curtains, kitchen appliances and the ride on mower by negotiation. You don’t need to be a keen gardener to appreciate the thought that has gone into the garden layout, the planting scheme and now the maturity of the plot. The entrance is gated so the garden is secure for children and dogs. To the north of the house is a gravel area providing plenty of space for parking and turning. Definitely worth a mention is the large crimson camellia by the front door, a bed of heathers in front of the sitting room window and a large hydranger next to the path round to the side of the house. The main garden is situated to the south with a large level lawn, ideal for a growing family – perfect for ball games, camping parties and when the occasion arises, a marquee. Indeed over the last fifty years the house has seen family weddings and landmark birthdays celebrated right here. At the far end of the lawn an area has been left to grow with wild flowers. Beyond this is Crookley Beck, a haven for wildlife and super for children to explore. The area along the river bank is lightly wooded and could be thinned to allow a longer view to the fields beyond. In spring there is a bank of snowdrops next to the yew hedge and abundant daffodils and crocuses providing a welcome burst of early colour. Later in the year you’ll be able to enjoy Lakeland favourites mature rhododendrons and azaleas shrubs. A huge beech hedge divides the formal garden from the well stocked orchard which has a wide variety of apple and other fruit trees. Notable varieties are Lord Lambourne, Sunset, Russet, Cox and Ribston Pippin table apples, Bramley and Arthur Turner cooking apples, Williams and Conference pears. As well as apples and pears you’ll be able to pick damsons, figs, greengages and other soft fruit. The kitchen garden is open to the orchard and screened from the house. In previous years the planting here has been extensive, now of more modest proportions but there are still active beds. The washing lines are in this area, accessible but out of sight. If you fancy having a supply of your own eggs there is a hen hut ready for your own flock. Beyond the orchard there is a small paddock, suitable for grazing horses or ponies. This bounded by an impressive stand of beech trees planted in the early 1970s. There is an additional field of ca: 1.5 acres. Although contiguous with the rest of the property, this was originally a separate field and has its own access from the highway. This is triangular in shape, being bounded by Crookley Beck and the River Annas on two sides with the furthest most tip being where two becks converge. There is a small detached stone built outbuilding with a sheeted roof; to be fair it is dilapidated but may have scope for a home office or studio, an annexe, even an Airbnb, all subject to the necessary planning consent. Along the southern edge of the field when the water level is low there is a small beach, lovely for picnics, bbqs and for children to make dens – in fact the den or tree house potential provided by the gardens and grounds are huge – it really would make a super house for children to grow up or grandchildren to visit. Bootle is a small village with an active community spirit on the west coast of Cumbria within the Lake District National Park. It has the advantage of a village shop, doctor’s surgery and two churches. A cosy café provides high quality meals during the day and a cycle shop provides support for cyclists. There is local shopping at Millom, Broughton in Furness, Whitehaven and further afield in Workington. There is a railway station 1 ½ miles away at Bootle Station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. Bootle has its own primary school; Captain Shaw’s C of E primary school, founded in 1830 by a local naval benefactor who also built a house near to Beckside Croft. Secondary schooling is available in Millom. In the quieter west coast part of the National Park there is great access to the fells and indeed from the house itself you can walk straight onto Corney Fell via an unadopted road. Footpaths lead from there to the summits of Black Combe and in the other direction, north to Buckbarrow and the Eskdale fells. These summits afford exceptional views, reputably the most extensive in England; on a clear day it is possible to see the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as the nearby Lakeland Fells. If you prefer the coast to the fells, it is 3 miles to the local beach with its extensive sands, while Silecroft, with its well-known beach, 9 hole golf course and pony trekking is some 5 miles away. Further up the coast is the pretty village of Ravenglass beside the estuary of the River Esk and the miniature railway running into Eskdale. Directions To find the house from the M6, take the A590 towards Barrow. At the Greenodd roundabout take the second exit onto the A5092, and then follow the A595 up the west coast. Upon...

With amazing far reaching views over the panoramic and undulating Lyth Valley to the Lakeland fells beyond this light and well proportioned detached two storey barn conversion stands well enjoying an enviable and commanding position. Welcome To Life At The High, Crosthwaite. With amazing far reaching views over the panoramic and undulating Lyth Valley to the Lakeland fells beyond this light and well proportioned detached two storey barn conversion stands well enjoying an enviable and commanding position. If you are thinking of escaping to the country and living the rural dream then this is a super package of house, buildings and land. Part of a small farmstead conversion of six individual homes which sit in an elevated position at the head of a private driveway, No. 6 has arguably the best position of them all with excellent views, a large garden, plenty of parking and an adjacent field of 5.6 acres together with six stables. No.6 is stone built under a slated roof, it offers two generous reception rooms, a kitchen, three bedrooms and a shower room. Let privately since conversion in the early 2000s it is now offered on the open market for the first time and so represents a super opportunity to buy into the Lakeland market. It would be fair to say that some cosmetic upgrading is required although certain fixtures have been updated since the initial conversion. The potential for this property is huge and the views are amazing. Local occupancy applies. Accommodation The glazed front door with side full height windows opens into the dining room, centrally placed in the middle of the house and off which leads the kitchen and the sitting room. It’s also where the staircase rises making the dining room integral to the overall sociable flow of the house. The two main reception rooms are both really light, unusual with many barn conversions, the big windows adding a contemporary feel. The dining room has a dual aspect enjoying great views over the valley to the Lakeland fells from the full height French windows which open to the main seating terrace. There’s a glazed internal door through to the sitting room with windows to three sides and a second set of French windows out to the terrace. The kitchen has been refitted since conversion and has white high gloss fronted units with a quartz worktop. There’s an electric cooker point with fan over, integral Bosch microwave, space for a fridge freezer and a 1 ¼ bowl sink unit. Washing up won’t be a chore here, the views are excellent! To back up the kitchen there’s a utility room accommodating a two-piece suite of wash basin and WC and a door to outside. Off the utility is a laundry cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine under a worktop which would fit a condenser drier. There’s also a useful cupboard for your vacuum and ironing board. Rising to the first floor the landing has a traditional feel with painted tongue and groove doors to the rooms. There are three double bedrooms, two of which have dual aspects and cracking views. The shower room is tiled and has a three-piece suite of a large shower cubicle, pedestal wash basin and WC. Gardens & Grounds No.6. has some of the best views at The High, out over the garden, across the valley and to the distant Lakeland fells. There is a large, paved terrace to make the most of the position plus a second deck area. The seating areas are all surrounded by an extensive lawn. A tenanted property for the last twenty years there is not much in the way of trees or plants, but this is sure to appeal to any green fingered buyers keen to put their own stamp not only on the house but on the garden too by landscaping and planting to create a garden of dreams. Through the gated entrance there’s good private parking for family and visitors. For buyers keen to secure more than just a large garden there is the added advantage of the adjoining field, amounting to c. 5.63 acres. This is ideal if your move to the country also includes an equestrian factor – be it horse, pony or even donkey. You may be thinking of alpacas or how about chickens, geese or ducks? It might just be a great place for the dogs to run out or for energetic children to let off a little steam. Either way, a large paddock is a rare additional to any residential property. Here it is supported by a row of masonry-built stables, under a slated roof and rendered elevations. The building comprises six loose boxes, each one having power, light and water. The stables turn out to a useful hard standing area leading into the adjoining paddock. Land and gardens together provide an overall site area of c.6 acres. If animals don’t figure in your plans, then these useful buildings are incredibly versatile, possibly a home gym or office, workshop or hobbies room? They provide valuable extra space and are a real asset. A Green And Pleasant Land The Lyth Valley is in the southern reaches of the Lake District National Park and is noted for its damson orchards.
