5 bedroom detached house for sale

Located to the fringe of the Lake District National Park, with views to the rear across fields to Blencathra, an excellent opportunity to acquire a detached family home, comprising the 3 bed main residence, along with an attached 1 bed rental cottage, with an additional 1 bed cottage in the garden.

Built in 1816 as a coaching inn, situated on a former droving route from the Caldbeck Fells to the Eden Valley, Crown House is a fine example of a traditional residence, located in this always popular and sought after area, just 2 miles to the boundary of the Lake District National Park with uninterrupted views of Blencathra and the Northern Fells.

Having been extended a number of times through its history, the main portion of the house comprises a spacious and flexible family home, with well-proportioned accommodation comprising to the ground floor the main hallway which opens into the main living / dining room which in turn gives access to the rear of the property and consists of a modern kitchen, with an oil powered Rayburn range cooker which supplies the domestic heating, a sandstone and oak garden room and a generous utility room, which has stairs to the first floor and a connecting door to the annexe.

To the first floor are 3 double bedrooms and a 4 piece family bathroom.

Accessed via the utility room, The Hayloft annexe is a fully self-contained unit, with its own entrance from the front, and comprises an open plan kitchen living room, an inner hallway with downstairs WC and stairs to the first floor bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling with feature exposed sandstone wall, ensuite wet shower room and balcony overlooking the rear.

In addition to the annexe is the detached, stone built, Half Crown Cottage. Also fully self-contained with an open plan kitchen dining room, double bedroom and shower room, this property is mid-way through a refurbishment and requires completion.

Having been used as a holiday rental unit in the past, The Hayloft has excellent potential as an income generator, our clients informing us that they have received annual net income circa £15,000. Both this unit and Half Crown Cottage could easily be re-established for the busy tourist market in the area, or would make excellent accommodation for a teenager or dependant relative.

Further enhancing the residential aspects of the property, there is a garage adjacent to The Hayloft, with an additional store room / workshop attached.
