Offering a wealth of period character, the main house provides an exciting opportunity for new owners to modernise and create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements. The location combines tranquil countryside living with excellent accessibility, being within easy reach of the Lake District National Park and the bustling market town of Kendal.

The centre of the village is just a short walk away, along with the popular cricket club set within the grounds of Sedgwick House. The area is ideal for a variety of buyers, whether commuting, working from home, enjoying leisure pursuits or seeking a peaceful retirement setting. The property is conveniently located approximately 5 miles from Junction 36 of the M6 and offers easy access to Oxenholme Lake District railway station, as well as local amenities including Kendal Leisure Centre, Westmorland General Hospital, supermarkets, schools and healthcare facilities.

Internally, the property opens into an entrance porch with a useful bench and space for coats and shoes, leading into the living room. The living room enjoys a front aspect and features a characterful stone fireplace with open fire, along with a useful storage cupboard and access to both the kitchen and a second reception room. The second reception room also benefits from a front aspect, a feature fireplace and built-in storage.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and part tiled walls. Integrated appliances include a double Lamona oven, Neff four-ring induction hob with concealed extractor, Lamona dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The kitchen also provides access to the first floor, a utility area with plumbing for a washing machine, and a ground floor WC.

A few steps lead down to the garden room, a bright and versatile additional reception space with views across the rear garden and patio doors opening onto a balcony. From here, there is access to bedroom four, a double room overlooking the garden, complete with an en-suite bathroom featuring a panel bath, corner shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

To the first floor, the landing provides access to the loft space and a storage cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and boiler. There are three further double bedrooms.

The shower room is fitted with a shower cubicle, vanity unit with wash hand basin and WC, complemented by part tiled walls and a heated towel rail.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a glass-fronted balcony overlooking the rear garden. The garden itself is a generous and established orchard, well stocked with mature apple trees alongside a variety of shrubs and planting, creating a beautiful and productive outdoor space. The property also benefits from a detached double garage, with additional planning permission in place for a further detached garage.

In addition, the substantial wood store located within the grounds has planning permission granted for conversion into a three-bedroom bungalow, offering excellent potential for further development or multi-generational living.
