The Cragg stands well in a highly desirable setting in the sought-after hamlet of High Casterton, which lies to the northeast of the popular market town of Kirkby Lonsdale in the Lune Valley. Built in 1998, this modern detached house has carefully designed, well-proportioned and light accommodation enjoying splendid views from all of the rooms and beautifully maintained, well-tended grounds. The property sits in a plot of c. 2.34 acres (0.95 hectares) with an approximate gross internal area of 7266 sq ft (675 sq m) including the large triple garage and the first floor apartment.
All you could wish for in a modern home so let us take you on a tour....
The house
From the arrival terrace at the rear, steps lead up to the main entrance and into a vestibule. Open the door into an impressive reception hall with sweeping staircase and gallery landing. The hall itself has a substantial stone fireplace with solid fuel stove, French windows out onto the front terrace, tiled floor and two arched windows with plantation shutters.
Off the reception hall, double doors lead into an elegant triple aspect drawing room with marble fireplace and open fire grate, fitted bookshelves and south facing French windows out to the garden. Also off the reception hall is a dual aspect study and cloakroom.
The inner hall leads to two splendid reception rooms positioned opposite, each with square bays and French windows out to the garden allowing the light to flood in. Oak floors, dado rails and decorative cornice and ceiling roses - the sitting room has a red brick fire surround, the dining room, a grey marble fireplace.
The inner hall is open to a sociable and welcoming split-level kitchen and breakfast room, a great space for family and friends to enjoy. The kitchen is fitted with painted panelled base and wall fitted units with marble work surfaces, a matching island unit with oak worktop and a two oven cream Aga and matching electric oven with gas hob set in a decorative tiled recess with mantle over. The breakfast room is open-plan and split-level to the kitchen with feature corner window incorporating French windows out to the garden. There is also a useful shelved pantry and utility room with linen/boiler cupboard and airing cupboard.
From the kitchen, there is an internal hall with second cloakroom.
The sweeping oak staircase leads up to the first floor with a large, light filled, dual aspect landing with decorative plasterwork to the ceiling and galleried to the reception hall below. French windows lead out to a wooden deck balcony from which to enjoy splendid far-reaching views.
The triple aspect principal bedroom has French windows out to a private south-facing balcony.
There is also a dressing room with built-in wardrobes and a contemporary four piece en suite bathroom.
Off the upper landing there are four further double bedrooms (two of which have a connecting door) and two with en suite shower rooms. There is also a three piece house bathroom with roll top bath.
A second staircase connects to the kitchen.
Connecting the main house to the ancillaries, garage and the first floor apartment is a lovely glazed entrance with flagged floor and double opening doors open to both front and rear elevations.
Boot room with tiled floor and Belfast sink with shower attachment (for boots and dogs), garden store with door out to dog kennel and gardener's WC. The triple garage has electric up and over doors, power, light and a tool store.
An enclosed staircase leads to the first floor self-contained apartment (perfect for a dependent relative, teenagers or visiting guests) comprising an open-plan living/dining/kitchen with freestanding units and two Velux windows with far-reaching views towards Leck Fell, a double bedroom and shower room.
Gardens and grounds
A gated sweeping drive leads up to the arrival terrace for cars in front of the garage with additional parking provision at a slightly lower level.
Established and mature well-stocked gardens surround the house with a terrace to the east; a further seating area to the west sits alongside impressive natural rocky outcrops and mature trees and planting. A generous lawn garden lies to the east with large pond and productive kitchen garden, well-stocked with fruit and vegetables.
Adjacent to the entrance is a second gated area, which has planning permission (subject to Lawful Development Certificate) for a triple garage and garden store. An excellent site for an outbuilding if one were required for amenity purposes (subject to further consent) - an office or gym perhaps?
