5 bedroom house

Here's our TOP TEN REASONS TO LOVE Townend Farm:



1. Instantly welcoming, the accommodation, set over three floors is well-proportioned and light with a gross internal measurement of c. 2887 sq ft (268.2 sq m).



2. A well-considered blend of old and new - being Grade II Listed, with origins dating back to the 18th Century with later alterations, there is an abundance of original character (oak ceiling beams, lintels and cruck beams, attractive oak staircase and panelling, a combination of oak and old pine doors with wrought iron door furniture, flagged floors and hearths, sash windows with seats, stone bench to the cellar and period fireplaces in bedrooms 2 and 3.



3. A sociable flow of rooms - an open fronted porch leads into a entrance hall off which is a sitting room and a separate family room/snug. The contemporary garden room off the kitchen room has bi-folding doors opening onto the garden and terrace providing an additional 'room' with indoor/outdoor living during the warmer months.



4. The kitchen is open to the dining room creating a fabulous entertaining space. The kitchen is fitted with painted base and wall units and breakfast bar with marble worktops, double Belfast sink and stone mantle above the range. A window seat is the ideal spot to enjoy morning coffee and enjoy the view of the garden.



5. Muddy boots, dogs (and children!) to be sorted before coming into the house with useful boot room. Keeping the laundry out of the kitchen there is a practical utility/cloakroom. There is also a boiler room, which provides excellent storage as well as a place to dry the washing on a wet day. A useful half cellar offers additional storage.



6. Bedrooms and bathrooms - the wide staircase leads to the first floor with three double bedrooms, one being en suite and a stylish four piece house bathroom. The oak staircase continues to the second floor where you'll find two further doubles, being open to the apex and with useful undereaves storage and a store room, which could easily be transformed into shower room.



7. Outside living -a south facing garden, c. 0.37 acres (0.15 hectares) offers something for everyone. Dissected by a small stream there is flagged seating terrace and level lawns directly leading from the house. A wooden bridge leads across the stream through an opening in the mature planted shrubs and leads to a lovely large child and pet friendly enclosed garden with fruit trees. For the green-fingered, there is a good-sized vegetable garden.



8. The splendid views - to the front towards the Lakeland Fells, to the east of Farleton Knott and to the south, across the gardens to open countryside.



9. Garaging and parking - a gravel area to the front provides ample parking for visiting family and friends. There's also an attached garage (15'4 x 9'61 [4.70 x 2.93]) with power and light and for additional storage, two stone and slate outbuildings.



10. Location, location, location - a quiet, rural hamlet setting, in a highly accessible location. Please see our local guide on page 5.
