Tallentire, Cockermouth CA13 0PT £465,000 ABSOLUTELY DIVINE...Dating back to the 17th century Smithy Croft is just the most beautiful family home you could wish to live in. It oozes warmth and character and is blessed with an abundance of original features which the owners have blended perfectly with the modern and contemporary touches they have added. About 10 years ago the original smithy was incorporated into the main house which resulted in a perfectly proportioned home and all the rooms have been utilised to make the most of the views and space. Sunlight streams through the windows, the upstairs lounge with the vaulted ceiling benefiting mostly from this, and downstairs you'll find a welcoming kitchen with stunning black Aga and a step leads up to a conservatory - perfect for sitting to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. Outside the garden is an absolute delight - fairly recently professionally landscaped the lawn leads you to a decking area with ample space to sit and enjoy the view of the countryside to the Solway and Scottish hills beyond, not forgetting the stunning sun sets which can be truly magnificent.
