£750,000

Surrounded by the Lakeland fells, easy reach of Ullswater, Keswick and Penrith, this substantial detached 5 bed property with masses of outside space, summerhouse with electrics and Wi-Fi & planning permission in place for a one bed detached annex.

This superb, detached family home occupies a fabulous position on the edge of the Lake District National Park, in the village of Motherby. The present owner purchased this property as an uninhabitable cottage with attached barn and outbuildings. Supported by a local awarding winning builder, this property was turned into a high specification home with separate summerhouse and the capacity to build a separate annex, all within an active village community!

A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a cosy snug featuring a wood-burning stove, and a gracious living room with a fireplace and doors that open to the garden, creating a seamless balance between indoors and out. At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen-diner, a sociable space enhanced by "a wall of glass" overlooking the Lakeland fells, an Aga stove, a breakfast bar island, delivering both style and functionality for family living and entertaining. The ground floor also benefits from a practical downstairs fifth bedroom/home office and a utility room with WC.

With four well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with en-suites, ensuring space and privacy for family and guests. A split staircase makes it possible to work a B&B.

The property is complemented by a luxurious family bathroom featuring a bath, a separate shower, and his-and-hers sinks, underscoring the attention to detail throughout.

The garden is ideally positioned to capture the sunset across Blencathra and the sunrise over the Pennines, it has a 180-degree vista of the fells, while a summer house equipped with electric and Wi-Fi offers versatile space for work or leisure. A substantial hard-standing area provides extensive parking. Approval in place for a one-bedroom annex, as the present owner has removed all the outbuildings and secured full planning permission, presenting exciting potential for a guest suite or Granny Annex whilst still allowing for extension of the garden area.
