ACCOMMODATION The hugely spacious accommodation provides six genuine double bedrooms and three first floor bathrooms.

There is a useful utility room, housing the boiler and providing access to the rear garden. There is a sitting room, with stove to the front of the property where there is also a good size study/home office. Also on the ground floor is a good size bathroom. At the far end of the property is a large reception room extending the full depth of the property, with patio doors to the front. This room houses a second set of stairs to the first floor. To the first floor there are six good bedrooms and a family bathroom, set around a large landing. All of the bedrooms are double rooms and have wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the fells. The main bathroom is ample and has a freestanding bath with shower over. There is a large airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. At the far end of the house there are two bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms. Externally though is where the property is really set apart from the rest. The plot, totalling around 0.8 acres, is superb. There is a small area of lawn to the left hand side of the driveway which is gated and surrounded by a stone wall. In front of the property is an area of lawn and hardstanding with mature plants to the front border, giving the property privacy from the road. The rear garden is incredibly generous having a large expanse of lawn leading down to a wooded area with pond at the rear. The property is private to the rear and benefits from a favourable south westerly aspect with views towards the hills beyond. In addition to the double garage adjoining the property there is also a large store within the garden.
