Hawthorn Bank is an outstanding example of modern architecture, completed by the present owners in 2004 to an exceptional standard whilst being sympathetic to its surroundings, and is now being offered for sale in immaculate order throughout. The property is ideally suited to families looking to relocate to this beautiful part of the National Park and will almost certainly appeal to the equestrian minded, occupying a mature 4 acre plot including  two paddocks and well maintained stabling.

The property itself offers well appointed, flexible living accommodation, with solid oak flooring throughout and in brief comprises: entrance porch, spacious hallway with two sets of double doors opening into two delightful reception rooms - a formal lounge with attractive wood burning stove to one side and a separate dining room to the other. There is a large, farmhouse dining kitchen complete with Aga to this level together with an impressive sun room which commands fabulous views, a good sized utility room and cloakroom. To the first floor, there is a large master bedroom with contemporary en-suite shower room and breath taking fell views, three further bedrooms and a luxury five piece family bathroom. 

Externally the property offers off road parking for multiple vehicles on a large, gated driveway and double detached garage. There is a delightful wild flower garden with pergola seating area, further patio leading from the sun room, delightful orchard, several lawned areas, small area of woodland, two paddocks (circa 4 acres), stable block and a secret garden with pond and small summerhouse.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful property within a splendid Lake District National Park setting and an inspection is strongly recommended.

The village of Waberthwaite is located in the heart of the Western Lake District, close to the A595 allowing for easy access to towns and employment centres along the west coast. The village enjoys a good range of amenities, including post office and primary school and is famous for its Cumberland Sausage and hams. There are other well known attractions within easy reach including Muncaster Castle, the Ravenglass Nature Reserve and unmissable narrow gauge Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway (L'aal Ratty) which transports passengers to the very head of Eskdale. Finally, the natural beauty of the area is, of course, its greatest asset and nearby is some of the finest walking to be had in England together with some exceptional fishing on the Rivers Esk and Duddon.

Mains electricity & water; sewage treatment plant; oil-fired central heating, double glazing installed throughout; telephone & broadband connections installed subject to BT regulations. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

Travel south on the A595 from Whitehaven for approximately 22 miles, through Holmrook and past Muncastle Castle into Waberthwaite. Turn right at the green by the primary school (with a telephone box) then immediately right again, passing the post office. Hawthorn Bank is the last of the properties on the right.
