Description: The Old School started life back in 1859 as the village school and continued until its closure in the 1980's when it was then converted into this spacious home that is ideal for permanent living, for those working from home, holiday use or as the current owners, run as a profitable holiday home.
The layout is one where you can live at ground level with two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms, with the first floor offering plenty of space for visitors. The windows are all UPVC double glazed and oil central heating is installed. Outside there is plenty of parking and attractive gardens that run down to Chapel Beck.
The property offers clear potential for those seeking a home that they could extend and improve to suite their own needs and requirements, subject to any necessary planning approvals required.
Note: All the contents are available should the new owners wish to continue the successful lettings business. Highly regarded for viewing.
Location: The picturesque location offers a network of country lanes and paths on the doorstep making this an ideal location for gentle walking, particularly if you stop off at one of the excellent traditional pubs en-route.
The villages of Underbarrow and Crosthwaite lie within the Lake District National Park and offer vibrant village atmospheres and community spirit, both with village halls and churches, with Crosthwaite having a primary school, bowling green and tennis court. For those who like to eat out there are many first-class pub/restaurant's within easy access including the Gilpin Lodge which featured on the "Great British Menu" TV programme.
