Owned by the current family since their purchase in 1976 the house has been a well-loved backdrop to family life. Rooms are generously proportioned with plenty of original character features in evidence. A lovely house for a family or for a couple looking for a home in which they can spread out and have space for entertaining. The dining kitchen was refitted a number of years ago and offers a great place for family and friends to congregate around the Aga, surely the heart of any country home. Leading out to the conservatory there is a sense of bringing the garden inside with glazing to three sides and a view over the garden to the Lune Valley itself. Two reception rooms provide room to spread out and family harmony when there’s a dispute over what to watch on the television! Off a generous central landing there are four bedrooms; three doubles and a single, an en suite to the master bedroom and a delightful house bathroom. The bathrooms are perfectly servicable but possibly a little old fashioned for some tastes, if you were looking to put your own stamp on the house, this would be a good place to start. The garden has been planted to maintain privacy and provide an air of seclusion. Turning in off the road, there’s a deep pull in before the gate which opens to a generous parking area. A sandstone path leads to the front door with fragrant planting either side and a clematis covered porch. Along the road side is a stone wall and fence boundary with high hedge set back from the house with a lawn and shrub borders. The main garden is to the west, a central lawn with shrub borders and stately oak and beech trees frame the valley view. There’s a pond at the bottom of the garden and a seating terrace directly out from the conservatory and sitting room with an electric awning providing shade in the height of the sun. In all, 0.32 acres (0.13 hectares). There’s good space outside with a double garage with two remote control electric roller doors. For those looking for hobby space, a workshop 14’5 x 9’2 internal (4.4m x 2.8m) has power and light. There’s an attached fuel store 8’10 x 3’3 (2.7m x 1m) and garden store 9’2 x 3’11 (2.8m x 1.2m). Instantly welcoming with a warm and inviting feel, a Lune Valley house, ready for you to call home.
