Property description & features

  • A delightful detached country residence
  • Five bedrooms, four bathrooms
  • A home with flexible living space for the family
  • Set in five acres of well tended gardens and paddock
  • Located in the heart of the Lake District National Park
Description: The original cottage at Broom Farm has in recent years undergone an extensive programme of works and improvements including the extension into the adjoining stone and slate barn, creating what is now a fantastic home, with space for all the family or for those seeking an income from the ever-popular holiday market. The current owners have with imagination and attention to detail sympathetically enhanced the original cottage with its sitting room and three bedrooms and two bathrooms, by incorporating the barn which provides a further two double bedrooms both with their own bathrooms, a simply splendid drawing room with statement fireplace and its very own glazed wine cellar, through to the excellent living/dining kitchen and that all important utility/boot room and cloakroom. The craftsmanship of the bespoke kitchen and bedroom furniture together with the woodwork throughout really does need to be viewed to be appreciated

Outside is the attached barn with games room above, a second barn/workshop and secure gated gravelled parking area for several cars. The gardens are well tended being south facing with formal and informal areas with sheltered sitting areas, lawns and mature trees and shrubs and the paddock offers space for those with a pony in mind.

Come and view a house of true quality in a quiet corner of the popular Lake District National Park
 

Location: Situated in a tranquil area of rolling hills, verdant fields and wooded slopes, Broom Farm Cottage is perfect for escaping the pressure of modern life. A network of country lanes and paths wind their way through the valley, making this an ideal location for gentle walking, particularly if you stop off at one of the excellent traditional pubs en route!

To find the property from the market Town of Kendal you head west out of the town by way of Allhallows lane and Greenside passing over the Kendal by-pass, over Scout Scar and into the Lake District National Park. Follow the road down into the Village of Underbarrow and take the first turning right just after the Black Labrador pub, towards Crook. Continue past the church on the right, then turn left onto Broom Lane, the property is then the third on your left. There is a post box in the wall sign posted Broom Farm Cottage.

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, first class pub/restaurant's and with Crosthwaite having a primary school, bowling green and tennis court.
