This very special detached stone-built residence stands in an elevated hillside setting with beautiful views down the Langdale Valley towards Wetherlam - a joy in any season and perfect for a Lakeland holiday at any time of the year.
The property has a degree of spaciousness and individuality hard to better in a holiday home and makes a comfortable base for relaxing, touring and walking amid some of our finest scenery.
The house was formerly the stables for a grand country house.
It stands in its own enclosed gardens with ten acres of adjacent private woodland reached through a separate gate at the end of the terrace.
Accommodation: The usual entrance is through the back door which leads into a most useful boot room with heated boot rack and plenty of hanging space for outdoor gear.
Well-equipped farmhouse dining/kitchen is in antique pine with fine picture windows opening onto the terrace outside.
A door leads through to the spacious sitting room which has an wood burning stove (TV with Amazon firebox & Iplayer only, DVD, Wi-Fi, bluetooth speaker) and doors to the outside terrace.
A separate panelled snooker/pool room (7' slate bed and felted table) is fully equipped with cues and set for billiards, pool and snooker with a selection of games, jigsaws etc..
