The Orchard, Allithwaite Road, Grange over Sands, Cumbria, LA11

The main door leads in through the Entrance Porch hinting at the first of the views, ceramic tiled floor and door leading in to the spacious Hallway which has nods to its past history with high ceiling, coving, decorative arches and 'art-deco' stair balustrades. Attractive, engineered mid wood-tone flooring, inset ceiling light and useful cloaks cupboard. Quality runs throughout this home - one of the main things to notice are the impressive, oak fire doors - lovely! Towards the end of the Hallway is a Utility Room with window, sink, plumbing for washer and drier and space for additional freezer and storage. The useful Ground Floor Shower Room opposite is tiled with linen cupboard and furnished with a white suite comprising shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin. Chrome ladder radiator.

The Lounge is very elegant. Spacious and light with high ceiling, dual aspect, superb Bay views and partially open to the stylish 'Sun Room'. A continuation of the flooring from the Hallway right through creates an even greater feeling of space. There is a large window seat to the front window to enjoy the view and an internal window to the Hall. Attractive marble hearth and carved surround with living flame gas fire. The Sun Room is a bright, calming and relaxing space with 2 sets of French doors leading in to the Garden and wonderful views towards Morecambe Bay. The formal Dining Room is of superb proportions with a continuation of the engineered mid wood-tone flooring. This room is dominated by the beautiful views through the French doors that lead to the Terrace and Garden. Christmas and dinner parties in this room will be a real occasion. The heart of the home, the Kitchen is accessed via the Dining Room or Hallway. A dual aspect room with ceramic tiled floor with underfloor heating and inset ceiling spot lights. Furnished with a range of shaker-style wall and base cabinets of soft green and cream with luxurious black granite work surface with deep 1.5 bowl graphite composite sink. Enviable central island. Space for range cooker and dishwasher and built in microwave and wine cooler. Of course there is the obligatory walk-in Pantry - a real cooks and family Kitchen!

From the Hallway the shallow stairs lead to the First Floor. The Landing of dreams! The size of a small Apartment with windows enjoying more lovely views. Currently utilised as a Library with reading sofa but could be for whatever you choose. Homework area? Studio? Teenagers lounging space??? etc.

The Dressing Room is on rather a grand scale with this lovely space having discrete built in wardrobes and exposed ceiling beams but the star of the show is the floor to ceiling window providing the most sublime views to Morecambe Bay and the hills and fells beyond. Hours could be spent here just relaxing and watching the changes in the weather. Stormy or calm, either way the view will not disappoint. The Master Bedroom is well proportioned with exposed ceiling beams and eaves storage. There is a superb storage cupboard crying out to become a shoe/bag cupboard (with limited head height) - who doesn't want to admire their shoes and bags?

French doors open on to the Balcony - oh yes - a Balcony - what a spot for morning coffee - preparing for the day ahead gazing at this far reaching view with Blackpool Tower in the distance on a clear day. Wow! The En-suite Shower Room has a white suite comprising shower, square WC and wash hand basin on a grey vanitory unit.

Outside - The approach to The Orchard along the long private driveway is impressive to say the least with 'woodland' type Gardens either side. The Driveway is gated and leads to the Parking Areas for several vehicles. There is also a Double Garage with 2 remote up and over doors, power and light. In addition to this there is a super Workshop with power and light.

The Gardens - where to start! There is something here for everyone. The well tended plot amounts to approx 1.2 acres and is a real adventure playground for children with lots of secret 'hidey-holes', pathways and trees to climb - enough space here to keep even the busiest kids or keenest of green fingers occupied! Directly outside the property is a sunny paved terrace which enjoys more of those wonderful views - evening drinks on the terrace please! The 'Main Garden' is just down from the Terrace with a good expanse of lawn stretching around to the side with a variety of mature plants and shrubs. Through the hedge is the lower lawn, with a raised paved Patio catching the evening sun, some very productive fruit trees and a lovely Summer House with decking. There is also a small woodland area with conceal log store and timber store. Around the side of the Double Garage is a raised Garden with Green House, a couple of further fruit trees and vegetable plots.

Location The Orchard is tucked away so privately you are likely to not have even noticed the driveway!

Just on the outskirts of the town, approx a 10-15 minute walk or a very short drive. Grange is well served by amenities such as the Medical Centre, excellent Primary School, Post Office, Library, Shops, Cafes & Tea Rooms and a choice of 2 Railway Stations - Grange or Kents Bank. The mile long, level Edwardian Promenade, Band Stand and Ornamental Gardens are pretty and within easy reach.

The renowned Village of Cartmel is approx 2 miles away and is famed for Cartmel Races, Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding and the fine dining at L'Enclume. There are several independent gift shops and a well respected Public House or two!

Just 20 minutes or so from junction 36 of the M6 Motorway and a similar distance from the base of Lake Windermere, Grange over Sands is very convenient and popular with residents and holiday makers alike.

To reach the property continue out of Grange in the direction of Allithwaite along The Esplanade, passing the Fire Station and Medical Centre on the left hand side and continuing to Risedale Hill. Go past the pink Convalescent Home and turn left into the private driveway with stone pillars either side Take the next right into the shared driveway and keep left for The Orchard.
