A place where morning light streams through the trees and golden evenings can be traced from patio to patio, this is a home of quiet joy and rural elegance.
Butts Wood sits gracefully above the tree line, with only the tops of neighbouring woodlands to disturb the panoramic views. There is a gentle charm in its position - high enough for privacy, yet just a short drive to the village's independent shops, cafés and pubs. Foxfield railway station and sweeping Lakeland trails lie close by, yet here, you are wrapped in peace.
From the moment you arrive, there's a sense of escape. A collection of characterful outbuildings curve around the driveway - two garages, one with electricity, plus timber sheds and a potting shed hint at the home's potential for creative or practical pursuits. Not only this, but the attic space inside with permission to extend upwards, provides more flexibility to make this home your own.
Built in the 1970s, Butts Wood has been sensitively updated. The low-sheen stone floor tiles stretch through the entrance hall and principal spaces - not just beautiful but insulated too. The thermal tiles are complemented by a stunning log-burning stove, ensconced in beautiful forest green tiles, which together ensure comfort throughout the year.
The main living space is particularly special. Airy and inviting, it centres around a beautiful fireplace full of character, which is flanked by a built-in bookshelf. From here, the open plan room flows into the garden room - a showstopper with high, beamed ceilings and walls of glass that open onto the peaceful gardens. It's a room for every season and every time of day: peaceful in the morning, radiant by afternoon, and atmospheric as evening falls.
A cosy dining area leads into the stylish kitchen, framed by wooden beams and including a beautiful built in storage unit, freestanding appliances, and a charming original door that leads into a utility room.
Three bedrooms are arranged with thoughtful simplicity. The principal bedroom enjoys direct access to the garden, where morning coffee can become a daily ritual in the sun. All rooms are bathed in natural light, with garden views and calm, earthy tones that echo the landscape beyond.
The bathrooms are practical and stylish, with one shower room, and a family bathroom where you can sit and pamper, every detail here has been designed to serve both everyday life and weekend ease.
Step outside and you'll discover a garden of layered delight, and multiple patios allowing you to chase the sun to your heart's content. From the moment you walk into the 'Sunken Garden' - a private courtyard in the front drive, perfect for long lunches or evening gatherings - the flow of the garden begins to unfold.
Each patio catches the light at a different time of day. A barbecue terrace, a quiet G&T corner, and a final tucked-away nook where the last rays linger. Follow the sun from morning to dusk, and always find a seat with a view.
The gardens have been designed to be as low maintenance as they are beautiful. Grasses and shrubs sway gently in the breeze, while a small lawn offers a peaceful path to follow to the wilder garden beyond, which is a perfect spot for picnics. The grounds are a sanctuary for birds and deer and the garden has been enclosed and dog-proofed, making it ideal for pets and children alike.
Broughton-in-Furness is a village that offers more than just essentials. With its greengrocer, bakery, butchers and community café, daily life is a pleasure. Festivals, community gatherings, walking trails through Duddon Valley, and the beaches at Haverigg and Silecroft all contribute to the exceptional lifestyle on offer.
Not only that, but the lovely market town of Ulverston is close by, with unique festivals all through the year, a theatre and cinema, beautiful walking trails and plenty of history, you'll be spoiled for choice with how to spend your weekends.
Here, you'll find the balance so many seek but rarely find: a home that feels far from the world, yet with a community close at hand. Butts Wood is warm, bright and quietly spectacular, a house with soul, ready to welcome its next chapter.
