4 Norwood Farm Cottages, High Casterton, LA6

Here's our TOP TEN reasons to love 4 Norwood Farm Cottages:

1. Location really matters - tucked away in the corner of this select residential development of a former farmstead, in the quiet rural village of High Casterton. Casterton itself has a petrol filling station and garage with a small shop for basic provisions along with The Pheasant, a popular country pub. Sedbergh Preparatory School is located at Casterton as well as a golf course.

2. A spacious, welcoming and stylishly presented semi-detached stone and slate barn conversion, converted in 1986 from a range of traditional farm buildings to create six individual homes. The accommodation is set over two floors with a gross internal area of 1444 sq ft (134.2 sq m).

3. Come on in to the entrance vestibule with decorative tiled floor. A glazed door leads into a light and sociable dining kitchen with limestone floor, window seat, base and wall units, integral appliances including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, hob, electric oven and grill. An understairs cupboard provides useful storage. There is also a practical utility/laundry room with external access and cloakroom off.

4. A dual aspect sitting room has a cast iron multi-fuel stove on a flag hearth and window seats to the east elevation - together with the dining kitchen it's a great room for entertaining.

5. Sweet dreams - from the kitchen, a full return staircase with feature leaded and stained circular window leads to the landing off which are three double bedrooms; bedroom 1 was formerly two rooms so is a lovely generous size and has a fitted wardrobe, bedroom 2 is also a good-sized double with bedroom 3 having built-in wardrobes.

6. Flagged courtyard-style east facing garden, with bin store and pedestrian gate giving handy access to the lane. There's plenty of space for a table and chairs, pots and planters and is ideal for those seeking a low maintenance outdoor space.

7. Private parking for one car within the shared courtyard as well as visitor parking spaces.

8. The popular market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is a short drive (or walk) away and offers a good range of local amenities (shops, restaurants and pubs, church, post office, a Booths supermarket, Boots chemist, an opticians and doctor's and dentists' surgeries).

9. For travelling further afield - access to the A65 is 0.8 miles with J36 of the M6 being 7.3 miles distant. There are train stations at Oxenholme (12.3 miles) and Lancaster (16.3 miles (via the A683) on the West Coast mainline with direct services to all major cities. Airports are at Leeds Bradford (50.5 miles), Manchester (81.7 miles) and Liverpool (86.8 miles).

10. Seeking a country lifestyle - within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and surrounded by stunning countryside, close to The Lakes, the Forest of Bowland and Silverdale and Arnside National Landscapes there's no shortage of walks, runs, cycle rides and other outdoor activities, many of which can be taken right from the front door.
