5 bedroom detached house for sale

This property sits in approximately 0.3 of an acre. Entering the property the hallway offers access to the office, two reception rooms and a large kitchen dining room. The office offers lots of natural light and a view into the garden. The living room is a generous space and would equally work well as a downstairs bedroom if multigenerational living was required.

The kitchen has a lovely traditional feel, featuring beams to the ceiling and fantastic views over the surrounding fields. The solid wooden units were made by a local craftsman and offer lots of storage space. The units are topped with a granite worktop, offering plenty of space to prepare meals. A double width Rangemaster cooker is the centrepiece with gas rings and multiple electric ovens. A patio door also gives access to the gardens. A utility room and downstairs bathroom, complete with electric shower over bath, are also accessed easily from this room.

The family room is an impressive space at nearly ten metres in length. This versatile room is bright and boasts a beautiful log burning stove as its focal point with traditional sandstone surrounds. Two handy storage rooms are also accessed from this space. Towards the end of the family room a grand piano takes centre stage before entering the garden room through patio doors.

The garden room offers panoramic views of the garden and pond. This tranquil space is warm and cosy with a central heating radiator and electric heating, making it a fantastic room to enjoy all year round.

Upstairs benefits from five double bedrooms with the primary bedroom offering an ensuite shower room and vast built in storage. All bedrooms offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the Lake District fells and across to the Scottish hills of Dumfries and Galloway. The generous family bathroom is tiled floor to ceiling and built in cupboards offer plenty of storage. A Whirlpool bath offers a touch of luxury in addition to a walk-in shower.

Winding Banks has a lot to offer externally. The south facing garden is beautifully kept with mature trees and plants. The garden wraps around the property with a small pond and a path that leads you to the patio area. This fantastic, sheltered area is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee and listen to the birds singing. The rear corner of the garden is where you will find the orchard, offering multiple fruit and nut trees. Further planting areas are located at the rear of the garden with a greenhouse and vegetable patches. Two expansive driveways sit either side of the property, offering a wealth of parking options.

The barn to the rear of the property contains a garage to the centre, a storage room or second garage to the side, a spacious log store to the other side, a potting shed to the end, plus a fantastic workshop upstairs. The workshop is spacious and features exposed beams to the ceiling and benefits from a large window and electricity.
