The Property

Lanshaw House creates a striking impression on the approach; the attractive cream render and stone window frames standing out against the green fields. This is a generous country house with additional opportunities to create a wonderful rural home and lifestyle. Every room looks out over the amazing views.

Downstairs offers plenty of flexible living space. A good sized hallway opens off into several well-presented reception rooms. A dining room, currently being used as a family room/snug, leads through into the spacious dual aspect sitting room with cosy wood burning stove and patio doors out into the rear garden, and a light-filled study/play room/third reception room provides access into the large utility room extension. This is a great space for laundry, outdoor toys and equipment, and muddy boots! Off the utility room is the downstairs shower room with WC, wash basin and shower cubicle, again, ideal for cleaning up after outdoor activities. The kitchen with a range of smart units and built-in appliances also offers a breakfast bar and ample space for a table and chairs. A wooden ceiling beam makes a delightful period feature.

The stairwell, bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor are all beautifully, tastefully and recently renovated. The walls were stripped back to stonework, new insulation, plasterboard and skirting boards have been installed and new door frames, doors and door furniture have been fitted. The master bedroom has amazing views to wake up to from the glazed doors in the eaves. A wooden ceiling beam and painted wood paneling create an elegant country home feel and a separate dressing area off the bedroom is an excellent bonus. The family bathroom is gorgeous with well-designed cabinetry, a walk-in rainfall shower, WC, wash basin and modern free-standing bath complete with stunning view whilst you soak!

Externally

The gardens and grassed areas run around the side and rear of Lanshaw House and a patio and gravelled areas to the rear are ideal for outdoor seating, eating and entertaining. An attached garage and driveway afford plenty of parking and there is also vehicular access to the barn. The mezzanine above the garage, along with a large wooden shed to the rear, provide generous storage space.

The paddock and detached agricultural barn offer up plenty of potential and the opportunity for a country lifestyle.
