DESCRIPTION A most appealing detached cottage offering beautifully presented accommodation, thoughtfully renovated and improved over the past twelve months. The result is a stylish and comfortable home that successfully combines modern living with the charm and character of the original cottage. The living accommodation is particularly impressive, with two beautiful reception rooms enjoying a dual aspect overlooking both the front and rear gardens, creating bright and inviting spaces throughout the day. At the heart of the home is a charming rustic-style kitchen, complete with a traditional range incorporating an open fire, which flows seamlessly into a delightful conservatory overlooking the garden.

A traditional Cumbrian longhouse, the property has been sympathetically extended to create a spacious and versatile wing incorporating a double bedroom, a bathroom and a generous room with its own external door. Currently serving as an excellent boot room and utility space, this adaptable room offers a wealth of alternative uses, including a fourth bedroom, family room, home office or relocated kitchen, if desired.

OUTSIDE Pretty forecourt cottage garden with parking. Private sunny rear garden. Side entrance gate to generous parking area, garage and carport. Adjoining superb 2 acre plus field. To the left of the cottage is a small timber foot bridge over Craig Syke beck. This leads to a lawned plot with highway access and possible building potential subject to planning.
