ORIGINAL CHARACTER MARRIED WITH SUPERB STYLING TO OFFER A BEAUTIFUL LAKE DISTRICT HOME FROM HOME
From the car park, walk down the well-lit path through the sloping garden and to the slate entrance porch at the front of The Farmhouse. The enormous, open plan living space has solid floors throughout, the complimenting furnishings and décor of a modern twist on a cottage style to compliment the exposed beams and age of the house. The living area has plenty of seating for everyone to relax around the wood burner and watch a movie together whilst the bespoke kitchen and dining facilities provide superb facilities for preparing and creating even the most gourmet of dinners.
The majority of the first floor is awash with exposed beams and trusses, the stairs leading to the landing where you’ll bear left to a large beamed twin bedroom with picture window seat, with a double and single bed, to be used as a double or twin in the hope of meeting your sleeping requirements. The house bathroom sits opposite with exposed trusses and beams; a powerful shower sits over the bath with a separate basin and WC. The second bedroom has a beautiful bay window, vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a solid wood bed with matching furniture. The master bedroom is king-size, again with exposed beams and a high vaulted ceiling and is blessed with a wonderful window seat from where to perch and take in the countryside views; the en-suite bathroom is adjacent with a shower over the bath, basin and WC. Beyond here is the connected laundry where you’ll find a washing machine and tumble drier. To the right of the landing is the superb fourth bedroom suite with a king-size bed, seating area, feature wood-burning stove and patio doors leading out to the garden.
Outside, the well-tended gardens are a mix of sloping lawn and patio with furniture provided. There’s also a secure shed with second freezer and space for storing your bikes – access details in the house book.
N.B. The Farmhouse sits in a rural hamlet and is accessed via an unmetalled, bumpy track which is very steep in places with no street lighting and we feel it is only suitable for 4×4 vehicles.
- The Farmhouse sits below the parking area and is accessed on foot via a well lit gravelled path that leads down through the sloping garden.
