7 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Description

Nestled in the centre of the village. Once part of a larger hotel, then a guest house, The Grange has been part of the landscape of the village since the 1870s. The current owners have used the house as a private residence for some years now. As you enter the village over the iconic low slung double hump back stone bridge, the road bears to the left, follow it round and The Grange is situated on the right. A white wooden gate marks the entrance to the property, just opposite The Grange café & tearoom, and to the side of the church. The property would benefit from some modernisation and lends itself to having some of the rooms amalgamated to forms fewer, but larger rooms.

Entering through the white wooden gate you are greeted with a very traditional Cumbrian home with slate frontage and slate roof. From the gravelled drive area a front door leads to the porch with stone flagged floor. A part glazed door takes you into the sitting room where there is a large floor to ceiling window looking to the South facing garden and Grange Fell beyond. This room has exposed beams and a lovely open fireplace with slate surround and hearth. A glazed door take you to the inner entrance hall that gives access to the rest of the ground floor. Entering the dining room you are taken aback by the size, with double aspect windows, feature exposed stone walls, lovely views of Grange fell and a super serving hatch in to the kitchen. The kitchen is a great size and accommodates a sizeable four oven AGA, ample wall and base units and a central island. There is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs and having double aspect windows, there is lots of natural light. The large utility room benefits from a Belfast sink and taps, storage and a floor mounted Oil boiler. One last door enters an inner hallway where a further reception room can be found, with double aspect windows and exposed beams. A door gives access to the back lane, and a further door to a WC.

The staircase from the entrance hall takes you to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom that face the garden and Grange fell, the Fourth double bedroom faces Castle Cragg, Maiden Moor and Catbells. On the first floor there are two bathrooms and one separate WC. To the second floor there are two further bedrooms, one a double and one a large double with en-suite. Both rooms have lovely views of the surrounding local fell ranges. The second floor also has a good size storage room.

To the outside there is ample parking to the front of the property, this gravelled area then blends into the lawned garden. Lakeland Stone walls border the property and mature hedging, shrubs, plants and trees fill the borders that frame the garden. The views from the garden are quite spectacular and offer and great place to sit and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. To the rear of the property is a further parking space, access to the rear of the property as well and log and bins stores.
