Description

Steeped in history and dating back to circa 1760, South Wing forms part of the historic Low Mill estate and was originally constructed to provide servants' accommodation and kitchens for the main house. Today, this beautiful character home successfully combines its rich heritage with modern family living, retaining a wealth of original features throughout. At the heart of the property is the impressive dining kitchen, formerly the servants' kitchen, featuring striking apex beams, an inglenook fireplace with historic bread oven and ample space for entertaining. The spacious lounge, once the main kitchens for the estate, boasts a stunning fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove, a separate dining area and an abundance of character. A useful study sits just off the lounge, whilst a unique room located midway up the staircase, currently styled as a charming children's "boat room" and secret den, also offers an ideal home office or hobby space.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional shower room, creating excellent flexibility for family life. Adjoining the main residence is a beautifully refurbished self-contained annex with its own independent access and a dedicated garden area to the front. Finished to a high standard, the annex offers exceptional versatility, whether for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or as a potential holiday let opportunity in this highly accessible West Cumbrian location.

Externally, South Wing enjoys extensive grounds and excellent outbuildings. A shared approach leads to generous private driveway parking for several vehicles, a substantial garage and adjoining workshop. The mature walled garden is a particular feature, enclosed by original sandstone walls and offering lawns, established planting, a pond, greenhouse, log store and ample space for families to enjoy. Beyond the garden lies an adjoining paddock extending to approximately 3.14 acres, included within the sale and offering exciting lifestyle, equestrian or smallholding potential. There is scope to create direct access from the garden into the paddock, whilst separate gated access is available via the side of Low Mill House. In addition, a further field extending to approximately 8.06 acres and reaching down towards the River Ehen is available by separate negotiation, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire over 11 acres of land in total.

Offering character, versatility and outstanding outdoor space, South Wing is a truly unique home with annex accommodation, extensive gardens and land, perfectly positioned between the coast and the Lake District.
