This characterful semi‑detached stone cottage combines period charm with a substantial contemporary extension to create a flexible five‑bedroom family home. The ground‑floor principal bedroom with ensuite adds accessibility and practicality, while an expansive open‑plan living kitchen with roof lantern and bi‑fold doors is designed for everyday family life and entertaining. The interior is newly renovated with quality finishes, oak flooring details and modern sanitary ware throughout.
Outside, the plot extends to c.0.77 acres including an adjoining paddock, sheltered patio, detached double garage with electric roller doors, and extensive limestone‑chipped parking. Practical extras include external power and lighting, CCTV, gigabit fibre broadband from B4RN and a children’s play area. The location offers quiet country living with easy access to Kendal, Kirkby Lonsdale, the M6 and Oxenholme station.
Notable practical points: heating is by Calor (bottled) LPG to a Worcester boiler and drainage is to a shared septic tank located within the parking area. Two rights of way cross the parking area to access neighbouring land. While the property was extensively remodelled and benefits from planning permissions signed off and completed, buyers should note ongoing running costs associated with bottled LPG and shared septic maintenance.
This home will suit families wanting room for guests, hobbies or home working, and buyers who value privacy, outdoor space and strong broadband in a rural setting. There is potential to adapt rooms if fewer than five bedrooms are required, turning spare rooms into a home office, gym or hobby space.
