This spacious, thoughtfully extended home offers a versatile layout with four bedrooms, a study/box room, and three reception rooms. The ground-floor bedroom and shower room provide adaptable living options, catering to the varied needs of any family.

A traditional entrance vestibule adorned with original Minton tiling creates a warm welcome leading you into an elegant entrance hall offering up snippets of what a magnificent home awaits inside.

To the left, the lounge radiates warmth and traditional charm with its pristine Victorian details—ornate cornicing, a ceiling rose, a generous bay window, coal-effect gas fireplace, and graceful curved recesses.

An extended wing at the rear of the home includes a large kitchen, a cosy family snug, a shower room, and a rear porch, perfect for slipping on or off boots and coats with easy access to the garden.

The modern dining kitchen is equipped with a built-in oven, a separate five-ring gas hob, integrated fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. Dual-aspect windows offer leafy green views, while the adjoining family snug opens onto raised decking, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces.

Ascending the winding staircase, featuring an original carved banister and a large picture window that floods the space with light, you arrive at the galleried landing. This serene spot is ideal for a small seating arrangement, offering a quiet retreat from the bustle of daily life.

Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms, each with traditional Victorian recesses, provide restful spaces. The principal bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room, while the front-facing bedrooms benefit from large triple windows. The rear bedroom enjoys spectacular views over the garden and the fells beyond.

A study/box room and a spacious bathroom with a four-piece suite, including a shower cubicle, are also located on this floor. Additional storage is available in the large, floored attic accessible from the hall.

The attractivness of this wonderful home is further enhanced by its mature private gardens, breathtaking views, and the array of picturesque walking routes right at your doorstep. The dual access from the family snug and rear porch to the garden creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with steps leading from the decking to the lawn, where summer BBQs can be enjoyed.

A small summer house , timber shed and greenhouse are included in the sale, adding to the appeal of the garden space.

The front garden is simple and easy to maintain, with two turfed areas flanking the garden path, surrounded by mature shrubs and lush foliage. To the left, a mono-blocked gated driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, while a triple garage offers additional parking or storage for sporting and gardening equipment, with potential for conversion into a hobby room or home office.
