East Kettlesbeck, Eldroth, LA2

Here's our TOP 10 reasons to love East Kettlesbeck:

1. Escape to the country - c. 0.4 miles up a private lane, in an enviable, elevated rural location in the Forest of Bowland National Landscape and enjoying splendid countryside and garden views as well as glimpses of two of the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks, a detached stone and slate farmhouse.

2. Immense potential - whilst ready to move into, there is an opportunity to refurbish and reconfigure the current layout. Set in a generous plot, there is also huge scope to enhance further with an extension (with the relevant consents) as there is certainly the space to do so.

3. Character features with ceiling beams, oak and stone lintels, exposed stone walls, cruck beams in the first floor sitting room and an unusual oak balustrade to the staircase.

4. Spacious and versatile accommodation, with a GIA of c. 2340 sq ft (217.4 sq m including the attached external store). Step inside through the front porch and into a dual aspect living/dining room with a woodburning stove, which is open to the fitted kitchen with base and wall units and integral appliances. An inner hall with larder and utility/laundry room off, provides access to the integral garage. Being open to the apex, the first floor sitting room is triple aspect with lovely far reaching views and a woodburning stove on flagged hearth.

5. Bedrooms and bath/shower rooms - to the ground floor is a small double bedroom/study with fitted wardrobe and a three piece shower room. Off the first floor landing, with airing cupboard and built-in store cupboard, are three double bedrooms; dual aspect bedroom 1 has fitted furniture and splendid views of Pen-y-ghent and bedrooms 2 and 3 have built-in wardrobes. There is also a three piece house bathroom.

6. Garaging and parking - the gated private drive and parking area provides excellent parking provision; there is also an integral double garage with sliding doors and cold water tap.

7. Useful outbuildings - to the north of the house, is a stone and sheeted former shippon, c. 42'6 x 25'6 (13m x 7.8m). There is a detached garden store/potting shed with cold water tap, a former privy and attached to the property itself, an open fronted store.

8. Delightful wrap around gardens with lawns, spring bulbs, lightly wooded area, rockery, pond, stream, elevated seating terrace, well-stocked borders and beds and a small orchard.

9. A parcel of woodland extends to about 3.10 acres (1.25 hectares) and comprises a mixture of deciduous and coniferous tree species. The woodland is located on a steep bank down to Kettles Beck.

10. The pastureland - c. 5.60 acres (2.26 hectares) bounded by drystone walls, has its own direct access off the adjoining lane. The land would be of interest to those with an aspiration to own a small holding, equestrian use, diversification projects or an interest in nature and conservation.
