Description Perfectly positioned and enjoying stunning scenery all around, a traditionally built stone and slate Lakeland family home offering larger than average accommodation with 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and the convenience of a self-contained 2 bedroom cottage attached. With Coniston village centre just a short stroll away, and an unrivalled variety of walks accessible from the doorstep this bright adaptable home offers space for all. Set in delightful gardens with ample off-road parking.

Oaklands
The bright and spacious accommodation is entered via the welcoming entrance hall and gives access to a cloakroom with WC and a glazed sun porch to the rear. The dining room is dual aspect with bay window having lovely views to Grizedale. The sitting room with feature Lakeland slate fireplace is also dual aspect with views towards Coniston Old Man and having French doors in the bay window opening onto the terrace. The well fitted kitchen has stylish wall (taller than average) and base units with complementary work surfaces and stainless steel double sink with Quooker tap for instantaneous boiling water. Integrated Neff appliances include 5 ring induction hob with stainless steel extractor above, 2 ovens, microwave, warming drawer, dishwasher, washing machine and American-style fridge. Beyond the kitchen is an office with fitted furniture. Also accessed from the kitchen is a stone flagged staircase which leads down to the lower ground floor with two good double bedrooms and a three piece shower room. The hall on the lower ground floor lends itself well to a utility area having plumbing for a washing machine.

On the first floor are four further good bedrooms with lovely views (two of which enjoy en suite shower rooms) plus a three piece bathroom.

Acorns Cottage
The attached cottage which can be used as ancillary accommodation for guests, extended family members or potential rental income includes a kitchen/ dining room and a three piece shower room on the ground floor, and sitting room with sliding door to the balcony and a bedroom with en suite W on the first floor, together with a further double bedroom on the second floor.

There is private gated car parking provision on the gravel driveway and a detached garage. The rear garden which backs onto the bowling green is a surprising delight with panoramic views to Yewdale Fells and Coniston Old Man, and a paved terrace, ideal for enjoying that morning coffee, or glass of something chilled at the end of the day.
