The Property

Greenfield House is a truly beautiful Grade II Listed property of exceptional quality. This former sandstone-built barn has been thoughtfully converted by local craftsmen under architect supervision to offer superb contemporary living with charm, character and elegant décor. The conversion, completed in 2015, has produced light, spacious and flexible rooms with oak doors throughout and modern touches delivering impressive efficiencies and cost benefits. Nestled in a peaceful location, Greenfield House is surrounded by inspiring countryside and within easy reach of the Lake District National Park. Fabulous views stretch away to High Pike and Saddleback.

The front door opens to the inviting entrance hall with useful cloakroom to one side. To the left upon entering is the expansive sitting room which has a lovely light feeling from a dual aspect that includes double patio doors opening onto the garden. A warming wood-burner sits to one end. This is a great room in which to relax. Moving back around the hall leads to the superb open plan kitchen and dining/family room. The contemporary kitchen is finished to the highest standards with ample storage, integrated appliances and a grand four-oven oil-fired AGA. The kitchen flows through to the dining room which also benefits from further comfortable sitting space, making this perfect for families and entertaining friends. Bifold doors from both the kitchen and dining areas open to the patio and garden, creating wonderful indoor/outdoor living. Extra utility space is cleverly tucked away behind sliding doors within the ground floor WC, with room for a washing machine, tumble dryer and laundry storage space.

There is a double bedroom located on the ground floor, complete with an en-suite shower room, offering accessible sleeping accommodation.

A lovely glass and oak staircase rises from the hall to the first floor. The principal bedroom is a large double filled with natural light from a dual aspect. Double doors open to a glass-panelled Juliette balcony and glorious views over the countryside. This bedroom is served by a superbly appointed en-suite bathroom. Another double bedroom sits adjacent to the fully tiled family bathroom, which has a feature freestanding oval bath, separate shower, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. A door from the landing leads to an incredibly flexible space with a beautiful outlook through large French windows. Complemented by the availability of up to 1GB ultrafast FTTP broadband, this is the perfect spot for a home office. This room retains many characterful features, such as the vaulted ceiling, original beams and exposed sandstone wall and could easily be incorporated into a full suite with the adjoining, generously-proportioned, double bedroom with en-suite shower room, all accessed through double doors.

Externally

Approached via a shared private road, Greenfield House has an enclosed private driveway with ample parking and a 7kW electrical vehicle charging point. The external area has the convenience of automatic dusk-til-dawn lighting and garden tap.

The private garden is mainly laid to lawn and there are planting beds, all combining for ease of maintenance. There is a useful garden shed with slate roof for the storage of outdoor equipment.
