We re highly delighted to offer to let this stunning four bedroomed detached family home. Built by the owner s family in the 1990 s it has been beautifully finished and maintained over the years and offers superb and very spacious accommodation on two levels. Being upside down in nature the main living accommodation is upstairs and the views in a westerly direction over countryside to the Scottish Fells in the distance are gorgeous.
Inside and downstairs, briefly there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom and a central mahogany staircase will take you to the first floor galleried landing where you ll find three reception rooms (all connected by double doors so super party space!), a well fitted kitchen and a fourth bedroom.
The house is approached from two directions, both of which give access to a huge drive as well as a large double garage. The gardens are well stocked and perfectly maintained and offer a mix of lawns, borders, paths, as well as a summerhouse all of which are south facing and will be looked after by the landlord s contractor.
