The Property
Escowbeck House stands as a testament to timeless elegance and refined living, beckoning you into its stately embrace from the moment you cross its threshold. First, step into the entrance hall, where a sense of grandeur ensnares the senses. To your right, the expansive lounge/diner invites you to unwind amidst opulent surroundings, with four large windows offering dual-aspect views which frame the verdant grounds in all their splendour. Original parquet flooring and the authentic built-in Gillow mahogany door retain the character of this historical property.
To your left, accessed via yet another charming Gillow mahogany door, the living room captivates with its understated beauty. The space is centred around a stunning woodburning stove, ensconced within a character fireplace. Flanking the hearth are two alcove storages, one of which being an original Mahogany bookcase with the other being sculpted later, to mirror the same character features, adding both charm and functionality to the space. Illuminated by a large triple-pane window, the room is bathed in natural light, casting a warm glow upon the elegant furnishings.
Access to the utility room and expansive triple cellars below is seamlessly integrated into the space, providing practicality without compromising on style. The cellars below offer the perfect pantry and storage spaces, whilst allowing direct access from the property’s exterior.
Connected to the living room is the modern kitchen, meticulously designed and fitted by Webbs of Kendal. Here, culinary delights are brought to life amidst a backdrop of sophistication. Four curved colonial grid windows grace the kitchen, offering glimpses of the serene garden and beyond, where the beck meanders through the picturesque countryside. Here is a space where culinary creativity flourishes and every meal becomes an occasion to savour.
Ascending the staircase to the first floor, a sense of anticipation builds as you are greeted by a grand landing, bathed in sunlight streaming through a fabulous south-facing box sash window. To the left, the master bedroom awaits, a sanctuary of tranquillity and luxury. Four traditional shutter windows adorn the walls, allowing natural light to dance across the room, creating an ambience of serenity. Fitted wardrobes provide ample storage, whilst a modern en suite bathroom offers a touch of indulgence, ensuring that every comfort is catered to within this remarkable master suite.
Adjacent to the master bedroom, the family bathroom awaits, offering a haven of relaxation and rejuvenation. Bedrooms two and three, located across the hall, offer comfortable double bedroom accommodation, each boasting breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes.
As we continue, the allure of the second floor beckons, promising further possibilities and potential. Here, a loft room awaits discovery, adorned with beautiful, exposed beam features and bathed in the soft glow from an eastern-facing window. Next, lies a single bedroom, ripe with the promise of potential transformation into a versatile annexe or expansive storey-wide bedroom suite.
Externally
Externally, the property unfolds amidst an expansive private plot, spanning approximately 30,000 square feet, a verdant oasis where nature and luxury coexist in perfect harmony. Lush lawns stretch across the grounds, interspersed with enchanting flower beds waiting to burst into a riot of colour with each passing season. An original Ha-Ha is found at the border of the lawn, allowing for uninterrupted viewing over Clougha Pike.
A fabulous summerhouse presents optimal entertaining opportunities in addition to a gorgeous south-facing sun terrace – the perfect place to relax during the summer evenings. A gravel drive winds its way around the property, in addition to the sanctuary of the woodland found beyond.
