Imagine quiet winter evenings spent talking and catching up with friends around the roaring fire.Designed with family and togetherness in mind, continue into the open-plan kitchen diner. Not only homely but functional, making family life effortless as you cook, eat and spend time together. The room is naturally divided with a dining area to one side and a spacious kitchen to the other. Plenty of upper and lower cabinetry allow you to hide pots, pans and pantry goods, in addition there is ample room for all the essential appliances. Take the back door to the covered veranda that opens up onto the more formal garden. It's a tranquil suntrap that acts as both an entertaining area and a restful spot to retreat to.Retrace your steps and ascend the stairs to the sleeping quarters. Hide away the vacuum and ironing board in the understairs cupboard.Choose from 1 of the 3 good-sized double bedrooms with either built-in storage or ample space for wardrobes and bedside tables. These are calming havens, neutrally decorated and enhanced by the peacefully private views of the surrounding landscape. There is also a sweet single room perfect as a nursery or office space.The abundance of storage opportunities extends upstairs in the form of a linen cupboard and loft space, handy for suitcases and boxes of possessions.Mornings will be easy, with plenty of space in the contemporary family bathroom. After a busy day, fill the tub and rest those achy legs. Return to the ground floor and make your way through the breakfast room, passing the large downstairs bathroom as well as the convenient internal access to the garage. Cars and bikes can be stored, away from the elements.Take the short flight of stairs into the annexe, currently used as a successful holiday let.

Spend your days spotting roe deer, badgers, foxes, squirrels and of course a multitude of bird life, including the nesting ducks. The wildlife continues beside the beck, that runs down the western edge of the land, creating a wetland for dragon flies and newts, that could be enhanced further.It's clear from the 58 acres of agricultural land and woodland that there are plenty of options for you to get stuck in.

Take your morning coffee outside to the rear veranda and feel the seamless flow between the home and it's natural setting.Note the outbuildings in the form of 2 barns and 2 stores.

The Cow Byre has been structurally developed, and is ready, with planning consent, for you to put your stamp on.Across the road, discover a unique private 500 metre beach and harbour lake frontage giving access to the beautiful Ullswater, in addition to a large boat house.
