Overtown Cottage, Overtown, LA6

Here's our TOP 10 reasons to love Overtown Cottage:

1. Charming and picturesque - a detached 18th Century stone and slate country cottage, in a tucked away setting. Not seen on the open market since 1992, the property has been enhanced over the years with a single storey extension and the addition of two conservatories and now offers an opportunity for the next custodians to upgrade.

2. Character features with ceiling beams, boarded and panelled doors with Suffolk latches, recess niches, built-in cupboard in the sitting room and quarry tiled floor in the dining kitchen.

3. Welcoming and inviting - come on in through the front porch and into the cosy sitting room with understairs cupboard and sandstone fireplace and hearth. There is a separate dining room, small study/office and a dining kitchen with shaker style base and wall units, granite worktops, two oven green Aga set in a tiled recess with mantle over, Belfast sink and integral appliances comprising a slimline dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. From the kitchen, a hatch provides access to a boarded loft with light.

4. Two east facing conservatories, both light and airy with beautiful outlooks and direct access out to the gardens - one is open to the dining kitchen, the second is off the sitting room.

5. Sweet dreams - the staircase leads to two double bedrooms as well as a single. Bedroom 1 is dual aspect with garden views and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom 2 houses the airing cupboard and leads into single bedroom 3/dressing room with skylight window.

6. Bath/shower rooms - to the ground floor is a four piece bathroom with separate shower and to the first floor, a separate WC off bedroom 3.

7. Garaging and parking - there is ample private parking as well as a single garage with power and an attached car port, both with a sheeted roof.

8. Truly, delightful gardens bursting with trees, shrubs, spring bulbs and planted beds. There are seating terraces, lawns, a dove cote, rose and clematis covered arches, a summerhouse, greenhouse and two timber sheds. There is also gated access to the paddock. To the north, is a further lawn garden with a gravel path providing a second gated access to the paddock. A public footpath runs through this area and into the paddock.

9. Adjacent paddock, c. 1.34 acres (0.54 hectares) to the east - perfect for a few sheep or goats, a pony, for dogs or energetic children!

10. In a private, quiet hamlet setting close to Kirkby Lonsdale, Ingleton, the Dales and the Lakes.
