The Farmhouse
Follow the flagged floor through to the kitchen, where the whitewashed ceiling strikes a
contrast with the rosy red Aga. Wooden cupboards and drawers conceal plentiful storage,
set beneath hardy worktops and rustic stone splashback tiles. Emanating cosy warmth the
red Aga is supplemented by an electric cooker. Above the 1.5 sink, a large window draws
light in, also providing views across the courtyard.

Continue through and turn left into the
traditionally styled living area, where a large
and inviting lounge occupies the left-hand side
of the room.
The Farmhouse
Drawn to the substantial fireplace, topped by
a treacle-toned beam and housing a large log
burner on a black slate plinth, note the date
inscribed in the stone above ‘1656’.
Deep windows are topped with upholstered
cushions, providing cosy seating with a view.
To the back of the living room, step through the
squared-off archway where the lounge has been
opened up to the dining room beyond. Rustic
beams stretch across the wide ceiling the full
length of the room, with a modern gas fire set
within a more modestly sized fireplace to the
rear of the dining room.
Further windows allow light to flow through,
creating an ambient dining space for family and
friends.

Uniquely Yours
A door leads out to a small slate porch, and beyond into a small outdoor seating area, neatly
graveled and private. Turning left from the lounge entrance, carry on along the stone paved
corridor, noting the quirky shapes to the walls and nooks and crannies for storage, before
arriving at another snug lounge. High, sloping ceilings contain beams, from which feature
lighting is suspended. Light streams in through a large window on the right, illuminating
the wooden flooring below. An ideal television room, office or playroom for children; a large
internal window looks down from the landing above. Take the door at the end out to a private
patio, sheltered and sunny, with glorious views of the fells.
