Commonly known as ‘The Damson Valley’, Crosthwaite is situated within The Lake District National Park and is approximately 5 miles from Bowness and, in the other direction Kendal, with easy access to the M6, ideal for commuters looking for a more laid back and peaceful lifestyle. There is an abundance of walks to be enjoyed right from your doorstep and with the Lakeland Hills close by you are certainly spoilt for choice. Locally, there is a good selection of quality pubs including the popular Punch Bowl which includes a post office three times a week and there is a weekly local Fairtrade shop and homemade cakes in the village hall.

Entering into the sizeable glazed entrance porch with a part glazed roof and practical tiled floor, there is ample space for boots and coats as well as internal access into the garage where there are utility facilities and a sink. The entrance hall leads to the first two versatile rooms that are presently utilised as home offices – however, for those with larger families, they could also be utilised as two double bedrooms. There is also a shower room on this level and one of the rooms enjoys access onto a raised decking area at the rear of the property where you can enjoy the stunning countryside outlook.

Immaculately landscaped with an abundance of well stocked, vibrant beds, shrubs and trees, the garden attracts a plethora of local wildlife and is a haven for those with green fi ngers. A path leads throughout the garden, passing the pretty glazed summer house with slate roof, the decorative pond and into the kitchen garden where there is a large and productive vegetable plot which has produced beetroot, potatoes, beans and peas to name a few. The greenhouse and garden shed serve the area well and there is also a pear tree and fruitful blackcurrant bush. Practically, along the private front gravelled driveway there is also a bin and log store.
