Fox House borders open farmland to the east and south and commands fabulous unspoilt surrounding views. The aspect to the south is particularly special, across fields to distant fells creating a wonderfully open and bright aspect.  With a design that takes inspiration from international travels, nature is not a backdrop here but a defining factor woven into every detail and celebrated through expansive glass, open and flowing spaces. The quality of light is extraordinary, every room possessing a great view.  Within a generous plot of c 0.34 acres, the house is enveloped in level gardens with curated seating areas to maximise opportunities for outdoor living as they blur the boundaries between inside and out.  A model of modernity and pared back aesthetic with an extraordinary, relaxed energy, Fox House has a covered entrance to a reception hall which opens to a wider circulation space and connects the kitchen, sitting room and dining room. Providing practicality for everyday living is a boot room, cloakroom, utility room and integral double garage. A pocket door opens to the ground floor bedroom wing comprising two ensuite double bedrooms. Through a spacious second hall are the stairs, off the first floor landing is a third ensuite double bedroom with walk in wardrobe and a fourth double bedroom having a mezzanine room above, this bedroom is served by the house bathroom.  If you seek a distinctive contemporary home, fully at ease in a rural setting then Fox House is essential viewing.  Vendor insight It’s a very easy place to be and works well all year round.  We will miss the views; they constantly change with the weather and the seasons, it’s lovely watching the year unfold; when the geese arrive to nest, watching the cows or sheep contentedly graze, or when the field is mown two or three times a year.    The design of the house was inspired by our travels and living in California and Australia. South facing with roof lights along the east-west axis, it is naturally well lit. The big picture windows and glazed doors ensure a strong connection with the garden and views. We wanted the living space to be open but not one big vast space, it flows and connects, working well for family living and when we have friends round. In warmer months the doors to the central courtyard are open to form an outdoor room, when it’s colder, the double-sided stove comes into its own. It’s particularly magical at Christmas as the lights reflect all around in all the glazing.  Location Situated on the outskirts of the peaceful Conservation Area village of Borwick, slightly to the west of the Lancaster canal, Fox House is within Lancashire but close to the Cumbrian border. It is a quiet and exceptionally accessible place to live. Positioned off the main roads and thus away from major traffic, Borwick is a peaceful and popular village. It’s easy to reach by road being convenient for accessing the motorway at either J35 if travelling south or J36 if heading north. For travel by train there are stations on the main West Coast line at both Lancaster and Oxenholme (near Kendal) which are easy to reach, and one in Carnforth.   Borwick shares a church and village hall with the neighbouring village of Priest Hutton. The village of Burton in Kendal lies 2.7 miles to the north and has a Post Office with general store, two pubs, a primary school and village hall, with clubs for tennis and crown green bowling. For everyday needs Carnforth offers a wider provision of local services with a choice of supermarkets (Booths, Aldi, Tesco and Co-op), doctors, dentists and vets’ surgeries and a busy high street of shops. The Cumbrian market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is easily reached and has a bustling main street of largely independent retailers and a great choice of places to go for food and drinks. The Lakeland gateway town of Kendal and historic city of Lancaster provide a full range of services.  For fans of the great outdoors, Borwick is well placed. The National Parks of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are easy to reach if you’d enjoy access to the hills and the dales but prefer a quieter life and the appeal of a close-knit community. Further walking and outdoor pursuits are to be found in the nearby protected National Landscapes of Silverdale and Arnside which offers some stunning coastal scenery and the remote and peaceful moorland landscape of the Forest of Bowland. Setting the scene Set amidst glorious open countryside and commanding far-reaching views across farmland to the distant fells, this striking detached residence is a masterclass in contemporary country living. Built in the 1970s and thoughtfully transformed over recent years by way of a substantial single-storey wraparound extension, the house now offers an inspired interpretation of Californian modernism, where clean architectural lines, natural textures and an abundance of light combine to create a home of exceptional calm and understated sophistication. Set back from the road, the property has been carefully orientated to embrace its south-facing aspect and in doing so provides great privacy. Extensive glazing by way of glazed doors, picture windows and strategically placed roof lights draw natural light deep into the interior throughout the day, while framing ever-changing views in every direction. The boundaries between inside and out are intentionally softened; gardens, terraces and living spaces flow seamlessly together in a manner more akin to a wellbeing retreat than a conventional family home. The aesthetic throughout is pared back yet deeply inviting; modern rustic meets contemporary country. A restrained material palette, sleek geometric forms and tactile finishes create interiors of warmth and simplicity, while the semi open-plan arrangement allows each living space to retain its own identity whilst remaining visually connected. Step inside A generous covered entrance area provides practical shelter before opening into a wide reception hall where an immediate and enticing glimpse through the house is gained of the landscape beyond. The accommodation reveals itself gradually and deliberately, each space unfolding naturally from the next to create a wonderful sense of discovery. At the heart of the home lies an impressive east-west circulation space illuminated by overhead roof lights. From here, the principal living areas progress; the kitchen forming the social centre piece with open aspects towards the sitting room, dining room, courtyard garden and the panoramic southern outlook beyond. Beautifully sociable yet highly functional, the overall living area layout has been designed equally well for both relaxed family life and entertaining on a larger scale. Supporting the principal accommodation and ensuring the house is easy to run and occupy are a utility room, boot room, cloakroom and integral double garage. Particularly noteworthy is the versatility of the ground floor bedroom wing. Cleverly arranged to allow a degree of independence, this section can be separated internally by a sliding pocket door and comprises two bedrooms, each with its own contemporary ensuite; one bathroom and one shower room. Conceived by the current owners with multigenerational living or guest accommodation in mind, the space is equally suited to dependent relatives, visiting guests or even ancillary Airbnb use. A dedicated external garden entrance enhances this flexibility further, while electrical provision has been made for the future installation of a kitchenette. A versatile spacious second hallway offers an ideal setting for a home office, library or music room; from here stairs ascend to the first floor landing leading to two further double bedrooms, both enjoying spectacular elevated views across the surrounding countryside. One bedroom features a charming mezzanine level accessed by ladder; an imaginative addition certain to delight younger members of the family by creating distinct areas for sleep, study or play. This bedroom is served by the stylish house bathroom. The principal first-floor bedroom enjoys a walk-in fitted wardrobe and ensuite shower room, with particularly captivating views eastwards across fields to the canal.  Step outside The electric gate is controllable either by phoning ahead or keypad. It slides open to exceptionally generous parking providing ample room for family and guests, boats or campers. There is potential to add to the accommodation further with space for a garden room/annex/studio or workshop in the easterly corner, all subject to consent.  Externally, the gardens have been designed as a natural continuation of the house itself. Much like the interiors, the outdoor spaces unfold from one area to another, with carefully positioned seating areas and sheltered corners each offering their own character, atmosphere and perspective. The main courtyard garden has the benefit of a deep roof overhang to provide shelter in inclement weather; the overhang roof detailing around the house features downlighters which prove particularly effective come nightfall. Whether enjoying morning coffee or chilled sundowners, every aspect of the setting has been thoughtfully considered to celebrate the surrounding landscape and connection to the interior.  Services Mains electricity and water.  Daikin air source underfloor heating.  Private drainage to a sole use system within the boundaries.  External lighting and multiple water taps.  Mobile and broadband services Full fibre gigabit broadband is currently connected from B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North) www.B4RN.org.uk.

This individually designed home sits prominently down a herringbone design block paviour drive offering parking for a dozen or so vehicles. The colour washed rendered elevations are offset by Anthracite coloured double glazing all under slate roof. Behind the front door you are greeted by a most welcoming 16’ reception hall, with under stair storage, and from here you get a glimpse and understanding of what owning Allacott House is all about as the straight run of stairs with glass balustrades leads up to the first floor and the honey oak doors with contemporary satin door handles, that lead you into the rooms. The drawing room is fine 20’ double aspect room benefitting from the South easterly sun, sliding doors overlooking and opening onto the terrace and grounds and, a feature fireplace with a ‘Rais’ log burner sat upon a slate hearth under a Derbyshire stone lintel. Across the hall is one of the real wow factors of the house being a 30’ triple aspect kitchen/breakfast/dining/family room again with sliding doors leading out on to the extensive terracing being an ideal place for al fresco dining or to just sit and enjoy the surroundings. Along one wall is found a super sleek ‘Charlton and Jenrick’ modern electric fire featuring real flame technology and LED mood lighting controllable via a handset. At the opposite end of the room is the bespoke designed ‘Sheraton’ handleless kitchen which is in slate grey with contrasting quartz work tops offering an extensive range of floor, drawer and wall units with concealed lighting and soft close hinges and oversized central island with breakfast bar area. Found within the kitchen is an induction hob with ceiling extractor and mood lighting above, double ovens, fridge/freezer, dish washer, wine fridges and recycling drawers.

Hides Farm is an impressive country home in a wonderfully private rural position on Crowland Common, set within circa three acres and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding fenland. Designed and built by the current owners, the house combines the presence of a traditional Georgian-style farmhouse with the comfort and practicality of a much newer home, creating a property of generous proportions, strong individuality and considerable flexibility. The setting is a significant part of its appeal. Positioned at the end of a single track country road, the property has a rare sense of seclusion, with open countryside around it and very little passing traffic. The approach is suitably handsome, with a sweeping gravel driveway leading to the front of the house, lawns and paddock land extending around it, and the stable block and garaging giving the whole property the feel of an established rural home. Although modern in construction, Hides Farm was designed to sit naturally within its setting. The exterior has the balanced symmetry and composed proportions of a traditional farmhouse, with red brick elevations, sash-style windows, a slate roof and carefully chosen detailing. The planning requirements at the time of the build were exacting, with traditional materials and finishes specified to ensure the house had an authentic rural character. This included hardwood windows and doors, black metal rainwater goods, approved brick and mortar colours, English garden wall bond brickwork and detailing intended to reflect the surrounding fenland architecture. The result is a house that feels settled and timeless from the outside, while offering the reassurance and convenience of a contemporary build. Inside, the house has been created as a proper family home, with an emphasis on space, sociability and comfort. The reception hall makes an immediate impression, rising to a galleried landing and giving the house a sense of scale from the moment you step inside. It is a generous, welcoming entrance rather than a purely formal one, with parquet flooring, a broad staircase and enough volume to give the interior real presence. It was also designed with Christmas in mind, with the height and proportions to accommodate a large tree, which says much about the spirit in which the house was created. The interiors are highly individual and full of character. While entirely decorative and therefore easily adapted to suit a new owner, they give the house a memorable personality and a clear sense of having been lived in and enjoyed. Country references, sporting pieces, hat lamps, framed pictures, patterned papers and collected objects appear throughout, creating a look that is confident, playful and personal. This is not a neutral show home, but a house with warmth and identity, and the generous proportions of the rooms provide an excellent backdrop for either bold decoration or a more restrained future scheme. The ground floor is arranged with a clear sense of balance. On either side of the reception hall are two well-proportioned formal reception rooms, each with a fireplace and a pleasing sense of symmetry. The sitting room and drawing room give the house flexibility for family life and entertaining, allowing quieter spaces to sit separately from the more informal kitchen and dining areas to the rear. The kitchen and dining room form the natural heart of the house. Designed as a sociable farmhouse-style space, it has ample room for a large table and is very much a place for gathering, cooking and conversation. The timber cabinetry, range-style cooker, stone flooring and outlook towards the garden all contribute to its relaxed country feel. A pantry sits just off the kitchen, while the adjacent utility room, cloakroom and storage provide the practical support that a house of this scale requires. Opening from the kitchen and dining area, the orangery brings in excellent natural light and gives the rear of the house a strong connection to the garden. With glazed roof lanterns and wide windows, it is a particularly appealing space from which to enjoy the outlook across the grounds. The owners have described watching distant fireworks from here and from the patio, with the fenland skyline lighting up around them, which captures the sense of openness that defines the property. The first floor is arranged around the galleried landing, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is especially generous and has its own en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. The layout is straightforward and well balanced, with rooms of usable proportions rather than awkward secondary spaces. Above, a substantial loft provides further useful storage. One of the important features of Hides Farm is the attached ancillary accommodation. It is not a separate annexe, but it is arranged to offer a degree of independence, with its own living space incorporating a kitchen area on the ground floor, together with a cloakroom, and a bedroom and shower room on the first floor. It also has its own access, parking and garden area. For future owners, it offers valuable flexibility, whether for guests, older children, dependent relatives, working from home or other requirements, subject to any necessary consents or arrangements. The external space is equally important to the way the property works. The grounds extend to circa three acres and include lawns, paddock areas, a stable block and a triple garage. The stable block comprises stabling, a hay barn and a tack room, reflecting the fact that the land was originally chosen with horses in mind. Over the years, the stables and outside space have also accommodated a variety of other animals, giving the property a genuine rural quality rather than the feel of land kept only for appearance. The gardens and paddocks provide space on a generous scale. They have been used for large family gatherings, celebrations and outdoor entertaining, with plenty of room for guests to spill outside. A full-size pizza oven, housed to the rear of one of the garages, adds another sociable feature and is to remain with the property. The broad terrace to the rear of the house creates a natural setting for outdoor dining and seating, with the house, garden and open views working together extremely well. Despite its rural feel, Hides Farm is not remote from day-to-day amenities. Crowland is only a short drive away, with Market Deeping, Spalding and Peterborough also accessible. Peterborough is particularly useful for commuters, offering wider road and rail connections while allowing home life to remain peaceful and distinctly rural. The position may also be of interest to families considering schooling in Spalding, Peterborough or at Wisbech Grammar. For everyday convenience, the owners have also found that supermarket deliveries make the setting entirely practical. The sense of peace is one of the property’s defining qualities. The road does not carry general through traffic, and the surrounding footpaths and fields reinforce the feeling of space and calm. It is the kind of setting that offers the rewards of rural living in their truest form: quiet, openness, birdsong, big skies and the ability to step outside and feel immediately removed from the rush of everyday life. What makes Hides Farm particularly appealing is the combination of substance and personality. It has the scale and flexibility expected of a substantial country home, with four bedrooms in the main house, attached ancillary accommodation, generous reception space, garaging, stabling and land. Yet it also has a story and character that distinguish it from more conventional modern houses. It was built as a long-term family home and has been shaped with care, humour and affection over the years. For the next owners, it offers a rare opportunity: a modern country house with traditional presence, land and outbuildings, strong rural privacy and adaptable accommodation, all within reach of local centres and Peterborough. Hides Farm is individual without being impractical, rural without being inaccessible, and substantial without losing its warmth. It is a house made for family life, animals, gatherings, quiet mornings, big views and the particular pleasure of being somewhere that feels entirely its own.   Disclaimer: These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

GUIDE PRICE £2,000,000 - £2,100,000. We are delighted to present rural refinement at its finest - a timeless Norfolk retreat, combining Tudor heritage with contemporary comfort.

Set within seven acres of beautifully landscaped grounds Old Hall offers four homes within the estate, ideal for multi-generational living or continuing this hugely successful luxury lifestyle business.

With fabulous views in every direction, the impeccable accommodation offers a large entrance porch, a wide entrance hall being open to the dining hall and further along, a double height staircase hall. The reception rooms include an elegant drawing room and a handsome study, as well as an extensive and sociable open plan living kitchen, incorporating a family room and day room which is used for casual dining. This area leads into a Vale Garden conservatory. Completing the ground floor are a cloakroom, generous laundry room, boot room, rear hallway and a very useful back porch, separating the kitchen from outside. The first floor has a wrap-around gallery landing and principal bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. There are two further ensuite bedrooms and a fourth bedroom has sole use of a large house bathroom. A fifth bedroom is currently used as part of a guest suite with its own sitting room and shower room. There are cellars, a charming courtyard with outhouses, a gated drive, excellent parking and a double detached garage with separate store. Landscaped gardens and terracing surround the house with considerate and generous planting to create year round colour and interest; they provide an immensely private setting, amenity and a haven for wildlife. An exceptional location between Kirkby Lonsdale and Kendal with good access to both the M6 motorway and Oxenholme station on the main west coast line. This property is private and peaceful yet not isolated. Whilst it gives the impression of being deep in the countryside, it is actually a very convenient location without having to navigate twisting, narrow country lanes. Location Friarsfield is in a stand-alone position, set back from the B6254 which connects the Cumbrian market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale in one direction and Oxenholme train station and Kendal, in the other. Although, in the Cumbrian South Lakeland area, Kirkby Lonsdale is part of the Lune Valley and in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Kirkby Lonsdale, named as one of the best places to live in the UK by the Sunday Times for 2025, is a charming market town with historical significance and a strong sense of community. Friarsfield is also a short drive away from the Lake District National Park. It has the best of all worlds, tucked away discreetly on a country lane unaffected by the hustle and bustle of the tourism that is nearby. The Yorkshire Dales and nearby Lake District make the perfect location for those wanting to embrace the outdoors or simply enjoy the tranquil scenery and fresh air. A short drive and one day you could be taking a steamboat cruise on Ullswater, marvelling at the breathtaking scenery, the next, you could be exploring the Dales with its beautiful undulating valleys, splendid waterfalls, caves and a multitude of quaint and characterful towns and villages. Whether you’re a walker, runner, cyclist or watersports enthusiast, you will thoroughly enjoy these idyllic surroundings. However, there is no need to take the car out at all; there is an abundance of walks on country lanes, bridle paths and public footpaths through fields. These are of varying lengths from the very doorstep of Friarsfield. A maze of roads and lanes locally also provide safe cycling for miles in every direction. For day-to-day requirements, you have a choice. Kirkby Lonsdale has a comprehensive range of local amenities and is home to an array of independent retailers and services, with a wide selection of places for refreshment. There is also a Post Office, doctor and dental surgeries and a branch of the regional supermarket, Booths. Alternatively, there is the country town of Sedbergh nearby; apart from being an official book town, it has a range of local services. Larger than both is Kendal, the gateway town to the Lakes, with a wider range of shops, services and facilities including a Marks and Spencer store with a large food hall and all major supermarkets as well as a hospital. All three towns host weekly markets and there are many farm shops and artisan retailers in the area. It’s hard not to fall in love with this delightful part of the world. The owners only came for a year or two and are still here 33 years later! Setting the scene Friarsfield is one of the most comfortable and impressive family houses in this area. It’s big, but not too big as to be unmanageable and onerous to run, with a layout that is exceptionally practical yet stylish. All the rooms have at least a dual aspect, the quality of natural light is therefore particularly striking. There are fabulous views to be enjoyed throughout the property. With meticulous attention to detail, Friarsfield was extensively upgraded when purchased by the owners in 2007. It wasn’t renovated to sell on but to be lived in as a family home. The structure was taken back to basics with every element undergoing renewal or overhaul; the layout was extended and modified sympathetically to create space, light and a better flow between rooms. The conservatory, porches and ensuites were added and the former Coach House cleverly linked to the house, so that it may be occupied as one, or operate as a suite for guests or multi-generational living. The property has been extremely well maintained over the years since its modification, ensuring that potential buyers know exactly what they are purchasing. A carefully chosen team of craftsmen and contractors were appointed to fulfil exacting requirements when it came to fixtures and fittings. These included English Hardwood Design Limited who built the bespoke hand painted solid wood kitchen and dayroom furniture, oak fittings in the laundry room as well as the fitted furniture in two of the bedrooms. Cabinet makers, Lancaster Woodcraft made the fine bookcase in the drawing room and the comprehensive storage in the charming principal dressing room. Bathroom fittings include Imperial and Duravit. Whilst keeping with its original features in almost all respects, technology has brought further luxury and convenience to the property: programmable Smart lighting and surround sound was installed by Majik House to create the perfect ambiance whatever the occasion. The house also has a security alarm and an intercom fitted to the electric entrance gates. CCTV and effective floodlighting also ensure a high level of security and privacy for the property. There are open fires in the principal rooms including a Chesney surround and grate in the drawing room and a bespoke handcrafted limestone fireplace with Chesney grate in the dining hall. The study has a decorative fireplace, and original cast iron fireplaces have been restored in two of the bedrooms and the house bathroom. The family area has a Scandinavian, high output wood burner and there is a wood burning effect gas stove in the guest sitting room. There is a place for everything, thoughtful storage provision has been a major consideration throughout the property, both in terms of internal fitted cabinets and by the addition of the various outbuildings. Two of the bedrooms have the original Victorian wardrobes. The beautiful, and also ultra-functional, laundry room is exceptional in this regard. There is also a loft area, accessible from a pull down ladder in one of the bedrooms. Flowing throughout, the unifying decoration is a calm, consistent canvas of natural shades and soft blues (Paint and Picture Library). There is a soft elegance to the overall presentation, high quality fabrics have been used for blinds, curtains and upholstered window seats including material from Colefax and Fowler, Designers Guild, Osborne & Little, Lewis & Wood, Ralph Lauren, Zoffany and Manuel Canovas. Complimenting these are curtain poles, several of which are from either Designers Guild or McCormick-Weeks. The floors throughout the property are either solid oak flooring both parquet and boarded or natural stone. They are quietly luxurious, easy to maintain and create a fluid connection between rooms. The grand tour Every room has an extremely pleasant outlook, a constant changing delight for the residents as the views profoundly affect the interior. A large entrance porch offers plenty of room to welcome guests as a stunning stain glassed inner front door opens into a wide hall which runs centrally. To the left, are the handsome study and refined, elegant drawing room; to the right, the dining hall. This is a versatile area that could easily be altered to work as a further sitting room, with a seated bay window overlooking the picturesque courtyard and an open fireplace for cosiness in winter. Continue to a spacious, light filled rear hallway where you will find a vast window stretching across two floors. There is a coats and luggage storage cupboard, seating and an impressive staircase. This area brings an airiness and contemporary feel to this period home. Sociable and family friendly style comes to the fore in the gorgeous living kitchen. An expanse of space incorporates a well-equipped kitchen, light filled dayroom, and cosy yet generous family seating area. There are double doors opening to the conservatory where the views are incredible. The French doors in both the dayroom and conservatory encourage spilling out on to the terraces. A combination of underfloor heating and made to measure ceiling blinds ensure that the conservatory is a room for all year round. From the kitchen a passageway looking out to the fields and courtyard leads to the outstanding laundry room, guest cloakroom, shower room and extensively fitted boot room. Stairs rise to a sitting room and guest bedroom where French windows and a Juliette balcony provide a delightful east facing aspect overlooking the courtyard and the tapestry of fields beyond. Moving back to the primary staircase and the voluminous hall with fantastic natural light, we proceed to the generous landing areas which lead to four spacious double bedrooms, three of which have ensuite facilities, with the fourth enjoying sole use of the large, stunning house bathroom. The principal bedroom suite is a show stopper; a large room with space for relaxed seating, a double height bedroom with ceiling rising into the trussed roof space, a private south facing balcony with stunning views and a gracious, curved staircase to a comprehensively fitted dressing room and a high end, elegantly appointed bathroom. The second and third bedrooms both have ensuite shower rooms and a range of fitted furniture comprising wardrobe, drawers, bookcase and a dressing table or desk. They are dual aspect with window seats. The fourth double bedroom has the original cast iron fireplace and built-in Victorian wardrobe. It is also dual aspect with a window seat and has use of the impressive ‘marble’ bathroom situated opposite, so named because of the floor and wall tiles and wash basin console. The last word in luxury, there is not only a large rainfall shower, but a roll top bath positioned to command a wonderful south facing view down the valley. Step outside Upon arrival, electric gates flanked by the original stone pillars are set back from the lane and open to a large block paved area with ample space for parking and turning. There is a double detached garage with mezzanine level and an adjoining bike/garden machinery store. To the rear is a covered log store. A short flight of original stone steps leads up to the front door and a sandstone flagged path which then extends into an extensive terrace that wraps around three sides of the house. Floral borders line the terrace, brimming with lavender, roses, nepeta, hydrangeas, camelias and many more traditional garden favourites, together with scented climbers. The terrace garden is both colourful and fragrant and offers a choice of private places for outdoor garden furniture for dining and relaxation. The south facing views are of the gardens and the patchwork of fields beyond. The gardens, like the house, have been designed for easy maintenance. They are a delight; it will feel like you live in your own parkland. Friarsfield has seen many hide-and-seek and croquet games over the years and there have been a few marquees for celebrations, a family wedding and charity event. Wisteria framed stone steps lead from the terrace to the main garden lying to the south and east of the house. Lawned, there are mature trees and rhododendrons throughout the grounds and framing distant views. The established well-stocked planted islands introduce a wide variety of seasonal structure and colour. A large circular formal pond with fountain, in keeping with the period of the house, not only adds a focal point but provides the soothing sound of cascading water. There is a woodland area bordering a well maintained beck with its seasonal wildflowers. Beyond the lawn, parkland fencing separates the paddock currently used as an orchard and relaxation area. The paddock attracts lots of wildlife; there are regular sightings of hares, deer, hedgehogs and woodpeckers. A delightful arbour makes a sheltered spot for seating and is positioned to capture a view of the quaint church with the gently rolling fells in the background. Those considering growing their own fruit and vegetables will find the raised beds of interest, as well as the orchard. There is lots of space for new horticultural ventures if desired. The enclosed private rear courtyard is laid with cobbles and flags with planted borders and climbing roses. The centrepiece is a stone faced circular pond with a granite feature creating the therapeutic sound of running water. Around the courtyard are a small range of outhouses; the largest houses the boiler for the main house and has a large storeroom with plumbing and spaces for a second washer and dryer. The smaller outhouse, with its stable door, known as the 'goat house', accommodates the secondary boiler and there is an adjoining discreet gated area for bin and recycling box storage.  To the side of the house, external steps lead down into the cellar rooms which houses the hot water storage tanks (the central heating extends to this floor). One room is complete with the original stone compartments for wine storage. The garden and grounds are bordered by stone walls, park and stock fencing allowing peace of mind for those with pets or younger children. There are comprehensive external, stylish and practical lightings and provision of outside taps. Included in the sale High-end curtains, curtain poles, blinds, upholstered window seat cushions and carpets.
