Cocklake House is a truly exceptional property set within 4 acre grounds in a quiet, rural and prominent position overlooking the valley of Mallerstang.
The Mallerstang valley became part of the extended Yorkshire Dales National Park in 2016 and is a hidden gem with spectacular landscapes and local landmarks such as the Wild Boar Fell and Mallerstang Edge, beautiful bird & wildlife and the recent re-introduction of red squirrels. Primary & Grammar schools are at Kirkby Stephen and Church at the nearby hamlet of Outhgill. Nearby Nateby offers garage services and The Black Bull Inn with accommodation. There are great road and rail links, train stations on the Settle Carlisle at Garsdale and Kirkby Stephen, with links to main lines and road access to the M6 and A66 are within easy reach.
The house dates back to 16th Century and has been extended and modernised over the years. The property offers spacious accommodation having good size rooms all with lovely views. On the ground floor the entrance hall leads to a large sitting room with gas fire, a utility room and cloakroom to the rear and a superb open plan family dining kitchen. The kitchen is a great living space with a well fitted kitchen and windows on two aspects taking in the breath-taking views over Mallerstang Edge. Upstairs are three good double bedrooms, a study/fourth bedroom and two family bathrooms. The master suite has an en suite shower room and sunroom with doors leading out to a private terrace. This would also make an ideal dressing room.
The property has been well maintained, most of the windows have been replaced within the past five years and it has oil fired central heating. It is generally in good order, but would benefit from some minor modernisation works, such as electrics, bathrooms and sun terrace.
Outside, to the front of Cocklake House has a pleasant garden with lawn, flower beds and woodland. The gardens overlook the land with Pendragon Castle in sight. A footpath leads down to the meadow land and the woodland to the Southeast.
The land is an ideal opportunity to have a small holding, there is a timber stable block already in situ and approximately 1/4 mile of river frontage with fishing rights. There is vehicle access off the roadside with hard standing in front of the stable block, ideal for equestrian use. The woodland area stretches up towards Cocklake House and attracts an abundance of wildlife including red squirrels.
