Renovated Hillside Home in 0.45 acre plot with wonderful views on the edge of the Lake District
An attractive, renovated hillside property set within a generous plot of approximately 0.45 acres, situated in a quiet rural setting overlooking the estuary and surrounding countryside. The home combines traditional character with modern living, offering flexible accommodation and extensive grounds including gardens, woodland, and a disused quarry.
This home has been thoughtfully renovated by the previous owners, preserving original features such as exposed beams, stone fireplaces, and slate flooring while introducing modern conveniences and fittings throughout. The property is approached via a private driveway that provides ample parking and leads to an entrance porch.
The ground floor accommodation begins with a practical boot room that also serves as one of several access points into the house. A cloakroom is conveniently located nearby. The family lounge benefits from exposed timber beams, a slate fireplace, and a window seat, creating a comfortable and inviting space. The central hallway, featuring an open-tread staircase and access to an open porch, leads to a games room with a slate floor and feature stone fireplace, providing a versatile reception area for relaxing or entertaining.
The kitchen is the focal point of the home, designed with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers that add character and space. It is equipped with integrated twin ovens, an induction hob with extractor, a drinks cooler, dishwasher, boiling water tap, and an undermounted ceramic sink. There is ample space for an American-style fridge/freezer. French doors open directly onto a composite deck, extending the living and entertaining area outdoors. Adjacent to the kitchen is a snug, ideal for more informal relaxation.
Upstairs, the landing leads to four double bedrooms. The master suite includes a bath set within the bedroom space, a glazed balcony overlooking the estuary and countryside, and an en-suite shower room with twin basins. The family shower room is fitted with contemporary fixtures and provides a walk-in rain shower, hand basin, and WC.
Additional practical spaces include a laundry area with plumbing for appliances, a plant room housing the water treatment system, boiler, and hot water cylinder, and a dog shower area with storage for outdoor gear.
Gardens and Grounds:
Set within approximately 0.45 acres, the grounds are a significant feature of the property.
