OVERVIEW
Perfectly located for Kirkby Lonsdale, the M6 motorway and travel to the Lake District National Park and Yorkshire Dales, this deceptive three storey house really has a lot to offer. Reported to date back to the toll road days of early 1800s, the practical stone cobbled floor in the boot room hints at these times and there are wooden doors throughout, thick walls and window seats. The accommodation is over three floors with countryside aspects from most windows - the view to Farleton Knott is particularly eye catching. On the lower ground floor is a bedroom, ideal for guests or as a study as there is an adjacent shower room. The well fitted kitchen is in perfect keeping with the style of the house and there is a cosy sitting room. Two double bedrooms on the top floor are both light and airy and there is a second modern stylish shower room. A garden space just across the lane is perfect for evening sun and has been beautifully landscaped. Located just a short distance from the property and on the site of the former garage, the current owners have created a wonderful annexe. To be used as a hobby room and home office, this relaxing contemporary space provides inspirational views of Lake District fells, especially from the first floor, and is of generous proportions. There is off road parking and a further garden space and outbuilding. No onward chain.
