"A beautiful traditional farmhouse with annexe offering multi-generational living, gorgeous gardens and extensive outbuildings with development potential"

The Property
Low House is an attractive and appealing detached period farmhouse nestled in around 1.26 acres of wonderful gardens and grounds amidst scenic West Cumbrian countryside. The property comprises the lovely and spacious main house along with a flexible annexe offering a host of possibilities.

An extensive range of outbuildings with concrete hardstanding provide yet more options to develop and extend, with huge potential for commercial opportunities and ventures, subject to the relevant planning. There is a full range of services to the outbuildings, ensuring that they can be utilised for a wide range of purposes.

Low House has remained in the ownership of the same family for over 60 years, and throughout that time has been beautifully maintained and updated with whole-hearted care and attention to create the superb home that stands today. Modern touches include triple glazing throughout both the house and annexe.

Main House
The main house benefits from welcoming and spacious reception rooms offering space to relax and entertain. The sitting room has lovely views over the gardens and a feature fireplace with a woodburning stove. Original exposed beams are a reminder of the history of the building. The dining room has beautiful stone flagged flooring and flows through glazed double doors to the large conservatory. Panoramic views stretch away across unspoiled countryside and French doors open to the courtyard and gardens. An old well sunken in the floor beneath toughened glass is a wonderful and unusual feature. The kitchen has a country house feel with quality modern fixtures and fittings. Elegant cabinetry provides storage and workspace with a range of discreet integrated appliances. There is lots of space for a table and chairs for casual dining. Adjoining the kitchen is incredibly generous utility room with an abundance of further storage and workspace, additional sink and access to the courtyard. The utility room also links to a vast log store with potential to develop and configure as further accommodation. A generous study completes the ground floor accommodation and offers the perfect spot to work from home, combining with the excellent WiFi that is available throughout the property.

There are three bedrooms arranged across the first floor along with a fabulous sitting room. This gorgeous reception room benefits from a soaring vaulted ceiling, exposed stone feature wall and French doors to a balcony. The elevated position brings spectacular far-reaching views of the Lakeland Fells. The principal bedroom has ample fitted wardrobes and all bedrooms are served by the handsome bathroom with suite comprising freestanding rolltop bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC.

Adjoining the house is the huge barn which is ripe for development, subject to securing the necessary consents. This could become further accommodation to the house, or perhaps a self-contained annexe/apartment with the potential to operate as an Airbnb or holiday let.

Annexe
The annexe is a self-contained four bedroom property with accommodation over three floors. Developed by the current owners as private accommodation for family members, this is a complete home with sitting room, dining room and fully-stocked kitchen on the ground floor and three light and airy bedrooms on the first floor. The bedrooms are served by a fully tiled bathroom with bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and WC. A second staircase leads up to a fourth bedroom that is filled with light from two skylights.

The annexe can easily be incorporated into the main house to offer a huge family home if required. As a private property it is a fantastic home for dependent relatives, or could be utilised as a holiday let to generate an additional income stream.

Detached Conservatory Spa
Sitting to the rear of the house is a detached conservatory spa, bringing a touch of indulgent luxury. The suite within incorporates a hot tub room, sauna with shower facilities and a seating area that is currently used as a gym.

Outbuildings
An impressive range of outbuildings sit to the north of the property and again offer tremendous development potential. The buildings include huge store rooms, a kitchen, WCs and office space which are all very well-maintained and fully serviced by power, water and WiFi coverage. This ensures that they buildings can be used for a host of possible requirements. Concrete hardstanding adds yet more practicality, and further supports the outbuildings for commercial ventures, providing excellent access and an abundance of parking.

Externally
Low House sits within extensive gardens and grounds extending in all to around 1.26 acres. Attractive formal gardens sit to the south west of the house, with manicured lawns sheltered by mature trees and hedging. Raised planting beds and a greenhouse will appeal to the keen kitchen gardener and there is also an established and productive orchard with a mix of fruit trees. Pathways wind through a gorgeous mix of colourful plants and shrubs. An expansive courtyard area wraps around the rear of the property and combines with seating areas dotted amongst the gardens to ensure there is always a spot to catch the sun.

In addition to the formal gardens there is also area of woodland with delightful pathways and steps leading down to the edge of the River Keekle which bubbles peacefully past. The riverside is a haven for wildlife and an idyllic escape right on the doorstep of Low House. The property benefits from fishing rights on this stretch of the river.

Low House is reached via a private lane leading to parking space beside the main house, accessed through remote controlled security gates. There is even more parking available at the outbuildings where a sweeping car park offers space for numerous vehicles and a garage sits to one side.
