Description: To describe this property as a 4 bedroomed detached house does not do it the justice it deserves. The fabulous elevated position with views of the surrounding fells and beautiful gardens are truly special, a viewing is a must!
Being a former Woodmans Cottage the property has been extended over the years and now offers spacious accommodation over 2 floors ideal for family living. Having been in the family for 17 years both the house and gardens have been well loved and maintained.
On entering the property there is a large breakfast kitchen with fully opening French doors to the gardens, dining room and dual aspect living room again with fully opening French doors leading to the gardens and a patio seating area. There is also a separate WC and access to the integral double garage. The sleeping accommodation to the ground floor comprises 2 bedrooms and a large bathroom and has been used as an annex to the house.
To the first floor there are 3 large bedrooms and house bathroom. Bedroom 1 at the front of the property is dual aspect and offers fantastic views of the gardens and surrounding fells and has the benefit of built in wardrobes, vanity unit and shower. Bedroom 2 to the rear of the property is again dual aspect with sliding doors to a patio terrace, a large walk in wardrobe and a 4 piece en-suite bathroom and bedroom 4 to the side of the property has lovely views of the rural surroundings and a built in wardrobe.
The private lawned garden, patio seating areas and land surrounding Wood Cottage really are something to be admired with well established trees, plants, shrubs and bushes which during the Spring and Summer months bring the garden alive with colour. Beyond the garden are mature woodlands sitting at the foot of Gummers How and a former tennis court which is now in need of repair.
