Description High Bank is an attractive and characterful stone built Victorian home which has retained some interesting period features from its origins as a coach house. It is centrally located in the highly desirable village of Arnside, an area of outstanding natural beauty, and boasts far reaching views over the Estuary to the fells beyond.  

Property Overview Enter through the porch into the spacious living area with high ceilings and stripped wooden floor boards. A wood burner with slate hearth and wooden mantle is an attractive focal point and perfect for cosy nights in. Quirky original features like the little window in the wall to the kitchen and a section original red and black clay floor tiles provide plenty of character. An attractive square bay window allows plenty of natural light and overlooks the front garden.

Continue through to the kitchen at the back of the property with dual aspect windows overlooking the rear garden. In the characterful practical kitchen, there is range of cream wall and base units, wooden worktops with sunken butler sink and slate upstands. Also included is a Belling Range cooker with an electric oven and induction hob. The wall mounted open display shelves with plate rack, traditional ceiling mounted clothes dryer and the original stone flagged floor provide that sense of character that continues throughout the house.

From the spacious landing on the first floor, a corridor leads to the delightful first bedroom with stripped floorboards and high ceilings with coving. A fireplace with slate hearth and Victorian style cast iron surround adds to the character and provides the option of an open fire if desired.

The spacious family bathroom, also on the first floor, benefits from both a large shower and bath, basin and toilet. The walls are partially tiled in attractive limestone effect tiles. Next to the bathroom is a handy W.C with an additional toilet.

The painted wooden steps continue up to a galleried landing on the second floor where the second and third bedrooms are located. Both bedrooms boast fantastic open views to the Kent Estuary and Fells beyond and again benefit from the stripped flooring. The second bedroom also has the advantage of fitted wardrobes. A large loft space provides an abundance of storage.

In summery, the Coach House is a characterful property full of period charm and benefitting from amazing views.
 

Outside To the front of the property there is a driveway providing off road parking. The rear garden has a cobbled and paved patio surrounded by traditional stone walling and borders with a variety of shrubs and plants. There is a handy timber shed, log store and exterior water tap. This south facing garden is a real sun trap and is the perfect spot to enjoy the outstanding views over the roof tops to the Kent Estuary and Lakeland Fells beyond.

Please note that the properties either side have a right of way across the drive of The Coach House to access their own driveways.
