An utterly delightful country house; sat in established and professionally landscaped gardens and commanding wonderful views of Loughrigg and the Fairfield Horseshoe, Swallows House is full of period charm, has generously proportioned rooms and a layout suited to family life and socialising with friends. The picturesque hamlet location is quiet and peaceful, yet centrally positioned in the Lake District National Park, with Ambleside, Hawkshead, Skelwith Bridge and the Langdales all readily accessible. Dating from the 1600s, the house has been extended and updated since 2001 and now offers a hall, highly practical boot room, dining kitchen, a formal and atmospheric dining room, a generous and welcoming main sitting room and a study with garden and fell views. A door leads from the kitchen to the newer part of the house, a sizeable extension added in 2004. With a more contemporary aesthetic, this part of the house is immensely flexible and can be used as an annex for a dependent family member or for longer stay guests or incorporated into the main living space and occupied as one – on offer is a living room, fifth double bedroom (currently used as a games room), ensuite shower room and a utility room with potential to be upgraded to a kitchenette. Back to the original, period property and an airy set of stairs leads up to the first floor with a cloakroom on the half landing. Off the spacious main landing is the principal ensuite bedroom, three further double bedrooms and a house bathroom. Swallows House will doubtless appeal to those looking to make the Lake District their main residence and to buyers seeking an escape, a private slice of heaven for taking a much-needed break when diaries permit. It will also appeal to parties looking to create a bolt hole but share it with others and let it commercially - the present owners offer it to guests through Wheelwrights Holiday Cottages. As such, most of the contents are included in the sale, enabling new owners to transition smoothly and continue the business. For purchases not looking to let, the contents will be useful as you become established, before putting your own stamp on this lovely property. Location Rural, but not isolated, this is a tranquil country location with fabulous uninterrupted views across the valley to the verdant slopes of neighbouring Loughrigg and Fairfield Horseshoe beyond. This picturesque hamlet-setting benefits from being deeply embedded in the very centre of the Lake District, adjacent to the Langdale Valley, with country and fell walks aplenty from the doorstep. There are many iconic Lakeland villages within a ten miles radius; perfect to dip into when you want shops, a break from kitchen duties (there are also a few places to enjoy a meal out within walking distance including the Drunken Duck) or to see a bit of Lakeland-life. And equally a wonderful place to get away from it all and embrace the calm and stillness that this setting offers. Day-to-day needs are met by local shops and amenities in the nearby villages of Ambleside, Elterwater and Hawkshead, with a branch of regional supermarket Booths in Windermere; and of course these days, most of the major supermarkets also deliver to the property. Whether you want the Lake District for rest and relaxation, for quiet contemplation and inspiration, or for exertion and exhilaration there is something here for everyone. Striding out on the fells, cycling the lanes, wild swimming or simply pottering around the shops and sampling the tea and cake on offer, for generations that have been, for generations that currently are and no doubt for generations to come, the Lake District has it all – there is nowhere quite like it. Step Inside Cross the threshold into the flagged hall and there’s a practical boot room for your outdoor kit. The kitchen has extensive cabinets and space for a table, ideal for breakfast and informal suppers. The atmospheric dining room is deeply charismatic and will make a delightful venue for gathering family and friends for candlelit dinners and Sunday lunches after building an appetite on long fell and lake-side walks. There’s an air of grandeur here, with a deep bay window and open fireplace with twin arched alcoves either side. The large sitting room is an impressive room with a high beamed ceiling and generous proportions commanding super fell views from the deep floor-to-ceiling bay window; this accommodates a second smaller seating arrangement, just the spot for watching the birds in the garden. The main seating area is around the open fireplace and a glazed door connects to the garden. Off the sitting room is a study, the view of Loughrigg will either prove inspirational or distracting as you work! From the sitting room an arched recess marks the foot of the wide staircase to the first floor, off the half landing is a cloakroom. The airy stairwell is flooded with natural light from the large skylight overhead and opens to a generous landing. The principal bedroom suite is a large bedroom with fabulous fell views to wake up to (including the Langdale Pikes), while the ensuite bathroom has a five-piece suite. Three further double bedrooms (generously proportioned to the extent two could be sub-divided), each enjoy splendid views and share the house bathroom. Throughout the house, sanitaryware is mainly Villeroy and Boch. A door from the kitchen connects the old part of the house to the extension which incorporated some of the original walls of the original farmhouse. This is a versatile addition which could be occupied all as one with the main house or used as a self-contained suite for guests or dependent family. It provides you with a sitting room, a fifth double bedroom/games room with an ensuite shower room, and a utility room which could be upgraded to a small kitchenette. Swallows House is a charismatic period property with a sizeable extension that adds a great degree of flexibility to living here. It works well as a permanent or second home but has also proved a popular holiday-let for larger family house parties keen to spend time together or celebrate a landmark occasion. Step Outside Pull in off the lane and a generous driveway parking area is in front of the detached single garage, with a convenient electric car charger installed. There is ready access to both the main front door and the door into the second sitting room. The quintessential landscaped garden is well stocked and a variety of established shrubs are kept neatly trimmed and provide seasonal colour and variation. Lawns and paths weave around the garden to three seating terraces, all laid with traditional Lakeland stone paving and individually positioned to capture a different outlook or the sun as it moves around the garden during the day, finishing on the ‘gin and nibbles’ terrace in the evening. Services Mains electricity and water.  Drainage to a water treatment plant (installed in 2023 and shared between three properties) located in an adjacent field.  Oil fired central heating from a boiler located in boot room.  Calor gas for hob and log burner style fire in second sitting room. 7KW Electric Car Charger (myenergi zappi) Broadband Superfast speeds are potentially available from Openreach of 28 Mbps download and for uploading 3Mbps.  Mobile Indoor: EE and Vodafone are reported as providing ‘limited’ services for both Voice and Data.

Thackwood Nook Raughton Head, Cumbria A Remarkable Grade II Listed Farmhouse Dating Back to 1614, Set Within Approximately 5 Acres of Private Gardens, Woodland and Grounds Steeped in over 400 years of history, Thackwood Nook is an exceptional Grade II listed former farmhouse occupying a magical setting surrounded by mature gardens, natural woodland and open lawns. Dating back to the early 17th century, this substantial family home blends period character and architectural heritage with the warmth and practicality required for modern family living. Owned and lovingly restored by the current family since 1996, the property has been sympathetically renovated throughout, carefully preserving the integrity and soul of the original farmhouse while creating a comfortable and highly adaptable home. Original beams, exposed stonework, ornate joinery, traditional fireplaces and historic detailing feature prominently throughout. Occupying approximately five acres, the grounds are every bit as impressive as the house itself, with formal gardens, orchard areas, woodland walks, a stream and pond creating an atmosphere rarely found on the open market. Accommodation Ground Floor Approached via a traditional front porch, the entrance immediately sets the tone for the property, offering an unmistakable sense of history and craftsmanship. The first reception room is currently utilised as a beautiful library, complete with an original open fireplace and intricately detailed built-in cabinetry. Beyond, the main hallway provides access to the principal reception rooms. The formal lounge is an elegant and welcoming space centred around a striking stone fireplace with matching stone arch detailing. A large window with working shutters floods the room with natural light. To the rear of the property sits a versatile study with original stone flooring, exposed beams and dual aspect views. Thanks to its generous proportions and position within the home, this room could equally serve as a snug, office, playroom or additional reception space. A useful downstairs WC is positioned just off the hallway, alongside access to the traditional cellar. Rich in atmosphere, the cellar features stone flooring, sandstone sconces and a vaulted arched ceiling. A secondary hallway with attractive wood panelling leads through to the rear entrance and into the heart of the home — a magnificent farmhouse kitchen. Fitted with bespoke solid wood shaker-style cabinetry, traditional stone flooring and a practical central island housing the sink, the kitchen perfectly balances functionality with timeless character. Two large sash windows with window seats overlook the rear gardens and capture the evening sun beautifully. Adjoining the kitchen is a substantial pantry offering extensive storage alongside further original character features. The garden room sits just off the kitchen and enjoys French doors opening directly onto the gardens, creating an ideal connection between the house and outdoor spaces. Also accessed from the kitchen is the formal dining room — a room with genuine presence and a wonderful sense of occasion. A substantial stone fireplace and arch create a striking focal point, while decorative timber panelling enhances the period atmosphere. This space comfortably accommodates large-scale entertaining and family gatherings. One of the defining strengths of the ground floor layout is the circular flow between rooms, allowing the accommodation to feel both highly sociable and flexible for a variety of lifestyles.   First Floor The original staircase rises to a generous landing where a large rear-facing window fills the space with natural light and offers attractive views across the gardens. The staircase itself is beautifully characteristic of the period, featuring a solid timber handrail with traditional iron spindles. The first floor provides five generous double bedrooms, each with its own distinct personality and period charm. Original fireplaces, exposed beams and traditional detailing continue throughout. The family bathroom is centrally positioned, while a secondary shower room is located beneath the staircase leading to the upper floor. Second Floor Occupying the top floor is a substantial and highly versatile space currently arranged as three generous rooms alongside additional storage areas. With plumbing already in place via the existing bathroom, this level offers enormous potential for reconfiguration depending on individual requirements. The space could readily provide additional double bedrooms, guest accommodation, studio space, extensive home working facilities or creative hobby rooms.   Outbuildings & Garaging Thackwood Nook benefits from an impressive range of traditional outbuildings accessed from the rear courtyard. Particularly noteworthy is the substantial double-height workshop building featuring a mezzanine level. Rich in character and full of potential, this space would make an exceptional workshop, entertaining barn, studio or hobby area. A historic original wash basin with integrated fire beneath remains a striking focal point and offers exciting potential to create a bespoke fireplace or pizza oven feature. Beneath the mezzanine is additional external storage, currently housing a fascinating surviving example of early engineering — an original Victorian/Edwardian generator and battery storage system believed to date from circa 1890. Beyond lies a private rear courtyard, useful storage areas and a traditional potting shed providing access back around to the front of the property. A generous detached double garage is accessed from the rear driveway and provides ample parking and storage space.   Gardens & Grounds The grounds at Thackwood Nook are genuinely exceptional. To the rear, the gardens incorporate a productive orchard with apple, plum and pear trees alongside expansive lawns and mature planting. This area enjoys excellent evening sunlight and offers a peaceful setting for outdoor dining and family life. The front gardens are particularly special. Mature trees and traditional stone walls frame sweeping lawns which draw the eye down towards the enchanting woodland gardens below. Stone steps descend into a beautifully natural landscape filled with wild garlic, flowering plants and mature trees surrounding a tranquil pond and crystal-clear stream. Winding pathways meander through this atmospheric setting, creating an almost storybook-like environment rich in wildlife and seasonal colour. Adjacent to the property is a small paddock extending to approximately half an acre, offering potential for a kitchen garden, recreational use or a small pony paddock.   Location – Raughton Head Raughton Head is a highly regarded rural village offering an increasingly rare balance of peaceful countryside living without isolation. Surrounded by rolling Cumbrian scenery and fantastic walking routes, the area is ideal for those seeking outdoor lifestyle appeal while remaining highly accessible. The village itself benefits from a well-regarded local primary school, church and strong sense of community, while the nearby market town of Dalston — just five minutes away — provides an excellent range of everyday amenities including popular pubs, cafés, shops, medical facilities, a railway station and both primary and secondary schooling. For commuters, the location is exceptionally convenient. The M6 motorway is easily accessible, while Carlisle’s mainline railway station provides direct services to London in just over three hours, with both Glasgow and Edinburgh reachable in little over an hour. The wider area offers outstanding access to the Lake District National Park, the Solway Coast and some of the region’s finest countryside, making Thackwood Nook ideally positioned for those seeking a genuine Cumbrian lifestyle property.   A Home Rich in Heritage Thackwood Nook is believed to date back to at least 1614, with a marriage stone above the front door recording the union of John Simpson and Elizabeth Featherstonehaugh in 1618. Over the centuries the house has evolved sympathetically, with notable historical connections including Susanna Blamire — often referred to as the “Muse of Cumberland” — and William Blamire, former Whig MP and Chairman of the Tithe Commission. The property is also linked to the historic “Red Spear Men” of Inglewood Forest, with a carved stone figure still visible above the front dormer window — a fascinating reminder of the property’s long and storied past. Few homes offer this level of architectural authenticity, historical significance and environmental beauty within such a practical and accessible setting.     GENERAL REMARKS AND INFORMATION Viewings: Strictly by appointment through the sole selling agents Fine & Country.

Turn the key, walk in, unpack… there’s nothing left to do, besides sit back, relax and enjoy it all. The transformation is remarkable, craftsmanship is impeccable, the result extraordinary. This fabulous contemporary single level property has been virtually rebuilt as well as massively extended. Both inside and out, every element has been either renewed or added as new, the present structure bearing no resemblance to the tired and dated bungalow that occupied this elevated corner plot before. Inside the centre piece is the substantial open plan living space, delivering an absolute WOW factor, chic, streamlined, sociable and stylish, it’s a room for cooking and eating, for entertaining and being together, as well as being quiet and reflective. There are three king sized bedrooms, an ensuite shower room (with generous space to create a second if required), a family bathroom, a utility room and spacious entrance hall.  Both in the sleek kitchen and the contemporaneous bathroom and shower room, the fixtures and fittings are high specification and skillfully selected.  Flowing throughout the property the harmonious colour palette of greys and neutrals is carefully curated and will prove an easy backdrop for your furniture, art and pictures.  Surrounding the property are fabulous landscaped gardens, purposefully designed to offer maximum enjoyment with the very minimum  of upkeep – with no lawns to mow there should be plenty of time to enjoy barbecues and outside dining on the large seating terrace or a glass of something chilled in the hot tub.  There is parking for two or three cars as well as a single garage. Tucked away in a quiet, well regarded and long established residential enclave, Windermere village itself is within walking distance for everyday needs and thereafter this is a great location for exploring the wider Lake District.  Bought in 2022, transformed over 2023 – 24, here at No. 22, well regarded Windermere based building contractor Dean Adams has brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the project, undertaking all the hard work so that you don’t have to. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to relax and enjoy.  Location Quietly tucked away off the main thoroughfare on the outskirts of Windermere village, St Mary’s Park, named after the adjacent church, is an exceptionally convenient setting not only for day to day life but also as a base for exploring the wider glories of the Lake District. Already an easy walk along the main road to reach local services, a footpath also connects straight into the heart of the village and provides a handy shortcut.   With a ready-made community of neighbours, this established residential area has been popular for many decades and is ideal for full or part time living or as an investment opportunity for holiday rental. It’s convenient for schools, shops and local amenities in Windermere, the bus stop on the A591, and benefits from ready access to a fabulous choice of places in which to dine out; establishments offering everything from a light bite to Michelin starred fine dining.  The advantage of life in the centre of such a popular tourist destination is being able to enjoy facilities all year round – cinema, live music, theatre and a wide array of visitor attractions. And if gently ambling, walking, hiking, running, wild swimming or cycling is your passion then could there be a better location? Quite possibly not.  Step inside  The front door opens to a spacious entryway where there is space for furniture or to build in coat storage. Shoes off and enjoy the underfloor heating through the porcelain floors tiles which start here and flow through into the living kitchen and the utility room for a seamless aesthetic. The utility room has plenty of storage space with pale grey high gloss fronted cabinets and composite worktops, there’s space for a condenser dryer and plumbing for your washer.  Walk into the living kitchen and it’s hard to know what to admire first, the fabulous kitchen or the views beyond through the wall of glazing. Inside and outside become one; the peaks of the fells are visible over the tops of the trees, the garden and neighbourhood trees provide screening for life inside. It’s a truly fabulous and exceptionally generous space. With a large and well equipped kitchen, a natural corner for dining and then a large area which would accommodate a number of seating configurations; one large statement sofa possibly or a smaller L shaped one in front of the fire with a couple of bespoke reading chairs positioned to admire the view, look out to the garden or watch the visiting birds.  When it came to which kitchen company to choose, one brand was a clear leader as their design ethos and principals very much spoke for the style and tone of the entire property that was being created, SieMatic. Since they were established in 1929, SieMatic have been making kitchens that fit into creative living. The brand is synonymous with production quality of the highest standard, planning competency and innovation. Their website states “The SieMatic style world concept follows the currently most popular lifestyles and furnishing styles and makes it possible to respond flexibly, precisely, and in detail to your individual feelings about life, beyond rigid program structures.” The classic minimalism of the clean lines and restrained colour scheme provides an elegant living space where “an agreeable sense of balance is created through a generous use of surfaces and materials, as well as a freedom from decorative elements. An elementary simplicity which is equally understandable all over the world.” Cabinets are a subtle combination of pale and dark grey with Corian worktops. The island extends to a breakfast bar with space for three stools. Clever lighting and backlights enhance the design and ensure maximum atmosphere whatever the time of day or occasion.  Now in situ, it was clearly the right choice as it effortlessly occupies a corner of this vast living area where feature windows and bi-folding doors provide wrap around views and a contemporary Globe 100 gas fire flickers gently within its low set rectangular box, it’s remote control, so you only need to lift a finger.  The bedroom wing is through a door off the living area. An inner hall provides access to the loft, with a pull-down ladder it has part boarding with light, so makes for easily accessible storage  for cases and Christmas decorations.  The principal bedroom has French doors out to the garden. It has the pleasure of a generous ensuite shower room, sure to bring a touch of glamour to your everyday with a large rainfall shower, floating vanity unit and loo. Finishing touches include a feature wall of tiles laid in a herringbone pattern.  The second bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe, this room could be remodelled with ease to accommodate a second ensuite if this was required. The third bedroom has a built-in wardrobe.  The main bathroom is a stylish affair, luxurious in appointment and finish. The statement oval bath is instantly inviting and if time doesn’t permit a leisurely soak, then the large rainfall shower is there, along with a floating vanity unit and loo. A few points to note when it comes to internal specification;  Doors, bi-folds and windows are all new and are hard wearing, maintenance free aluminium finished with anthracite grey paint. Glazing is extensive and ensures that this is a light filled home with a feeling of airiness.  Internal doors are contemporary styled with a light oak finish and chrome handles. The doors from the hall into the living area and the living area into the bedroom wing are both glazed to maximise light flow.  All internal walls are painted in masonry paint to be as hard wearing as possible, whether you are thinking of holiday makers or have an active family life yourself, being able to wipe the walls down will be a future blessing.   All three bedrooms would accommodate a king-sized bed and all have pendant bedside lights already wired. If you like to watch TV in bed then whilst there aren’t any sockets now, they could be easily installed if required.  Both the bathroom and shower room are fully tiled incorporating illuminated recesses for storage and display. Both the showers have rainfall and second handheld shower heads, they also include illuminated mirrors, matt black heated towel rails, not forgetting the under-floor heating which runs throughout.   Step outside The same care and attention to detail that has been lavished on the interior has also been generously employed outside.  Arriving at the property and there is a pull parking bay with space for two or three cars depending on size but there’s also a single garage with a further space in front of it too. Steps lead up to the front door where there is a seating area, east facing and perfect for a morning cup of coffee. A path then leads around to the main garden which is situated on the westerly elevation of the property. Here is a lawn for children to play, a seating terrace for outside dining and general relaxation and the hot tub, just the thing after a long day, it really comes into its own during the colder weather; twilight dips as the sun sets are glorious, whereas on a clear night under nothing but the stars the experience is exceptionally memorable. A path leads from the hot tub to the door into the main bedroom so you could go straight into the shower afterwards if you liked. Overall, it’s a great outside space for entertaining family and friends or just keeping to yourselves. The boundaries between indoor and outdoor become blurred during warmer months when the living area’s bi-folding doors can be opened up enabling the two areas to effortlessly combine.  Outside, the painstaking choice of materials is well worth comment, externally much of the bedrock excavated to create the garden and parking area was then used to face the rebuilt elevations and retaining garden walls. The walls of the wrap around extension to the west is finished with composite cladding to be minimal upkeep. Porcelain tiles form steps and seating areas and have a non-slippery finish to be safer underfoot, Lakeland slate chippings have also been laid in places to echo the stone used on the elevations and in surrounding nature.
