Upon arrival, guests are greeted by the elegant exterior of this property, featuring adorned Georgian stucco that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The ground floor boasts a series of rooms, including an entrance porchway, dining room with open fireplace, and a living room also with open fireplace. The kitchen, designed in a slightly open plan layout with the dining room, showcases a combination of wooden cabinetry complemented by a bottle green Rangemaster stove, and a small sunroom off the kitchen offers tranquil views of the garden and neighboring fells, creating a peaceful retreat within the home. In addition, there is also a convenient utility room and a downstairs shower room on this level for added functionality.
Moving to the upper level of the property, via a grand staircase with large window at half landing level overlooking the studio building and garden, you will discover three spacious, double bedrooms, each with original shutters and their own unique view of either the village of Blindcrake or the rear of the property. A family bathroom completes this floor.
Externally, the property is surrounded by meticulously landscaped gardens which enhance the overall appeal of the home. A secure driveway provides off-road parking, while the rear garden steals the show with its formal lawns, well-established trees, mature shrubs, mixed perennials and patio areas providing lovely outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertainment. A detached garage and studio building, positioned at the top of the driveway, presents various possibilities, from additional living space to a workshop, or even a potential income-generating Air BnB holiday rental.
Green Bank truly embodies the essence of the Lake District lifestyle, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of timeless elegance in a highly sought-after location. Be sure to arrange a prompt viewing.
