Description

Guide Price £375,000 - £395,000.

The Old Stables is a deceptively spacious, character cottage in the hamlet of Outhgill in the dramatic valley of Mallerstang.

Outhgill is a small community hamlet just 4 miles from the market town of Kirkby Stephen. The town has good communication links, with easy access to the M6 in the West and the A66 link road to the A1. Kendal, Lancaster, the Lake District & the Yorkshire Dales are all easily accessible. The scenic Settle to Carlisle Railway offers national connections. Kirkby Stephen has highly regarded primary and grammar schools and there are excellent independent schools at Sedbergh & Barnard Castle. There is a school bus to Kirkby Stephen from outside the door.

The Old Stables offers quality accommodation over three floors. On the ground floor is a well fitted bespoke kitchen with granite work surfaces, a separate utility and downstairs cloakroom. Also on this floor is a dining room, opening through to an attractive living room with multi fuel stove and exposed stone work. There is also a lovely extension providing a garden room, linking the main rooms with the kitchen and leading out to the garden. On the first floor are three good double bedrooms all with pleasant views and a large house bathroom. On the second floor the loft has been converted into a Master bedroom suite with a large double bedroom, full of character with exposed beams and trusses, a walk in wardrobe and en suite shower room.

The property is currently running as a successful holiday let, this could be continued by the new owners if desired.

Outside to the rear is an East facing garden with large lawn and mature borders. To the front is a low maintenance cottage garden. There is a gravel parking area to the rear for one vehicle with additional parking to the front.

There are lovely views and walks to Mallerstang Edge and Wild Boar Fell. This property must be viewed internally to fully appreciate the size and quality of the accommodation.
