Roe Head Farm The Lake District A traditional stone built detached six bedroom former farmstead set in about thirteen acres of gardens and grounds with outstanding views. ! A traditional stone built detached six bedroom former farmstead set in thirteen acres of gardens and grounds , Roe Head Farm occupies a superb elevated site with outstanding views south and west across Ullswater, towards the central fells of Lakeland and the Helvellyn range. The property lies within walking distance of Pooley Bridge and offers a rural lifestyle while being just six miles from the amenities of Penrith, the M6 and A66 road links and Penrith with its excellent amenities and mainline railway station - whence London is just three hours away. Owned by the same family for many years Roe Head Farm has been imaginatively upgraded and extended and now offers spacious and flexible accommodation with a comprehensive arrangement of living and entertaining rooms. On the ground floor the traditional Lakeland entrance porch opens into the reception hall, with claokroom/WC off to the rear, with a lovely sitting room with superb views and an open fire. There is a formal dining room and adjacent snug leading into the kitchen with its Smallbone fitted antique pine furniture and blue two oven AGA. The inner hall links the original house to the conversion and has a boot/boiler room and the door to the rear of the property; this hall leads into the impressive full height galleried lounge with its grand stone fireplace and fabulous views. Sliding doors lead into the south west facing L shaped conservatory, which links back to the kitchen, a practical feature providing flexible entertaining options. Progressing through the conversion, there is an downstairs ensuite bedroom and then the fabulous snooker and games room with its high ceiling and exposed timbers; this opens into the library, separated by the stone ‘through’ fireplace which features in both rooms. The library has an extensive range of fitted bookcases and steps down to the reading room. A secret door opens within the bookcases to a rear hall where there is a utility room and further cloaks/WC. At first floor level, within the original house, the staircase from the entrance hall leads up to a spacious landing and in turn to a master bedroom with large ensuite bathroom, three further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and the house bathroom with separate shower. There is a further first floor ensuite bedroom accessed adjacent to the gallery over the lounge. Outside the property is approached by gravelled driveway which lead up to and around the rear, where there are stone outbuildings offering garaging, workshop and stores. To the front there are lawned gardens with mature borders and rockeries, and the stone flagged terrace facing south west from which to enjoy the tremendous views. The grounds include around thirteen acres of woodland, paddocking and gardens, with a soft fruit orchard and a separate large wooden garage with log store and hen house. ! ! !
