The Property
1 Tarn End is a beautifully appointed two bedroom property forming part of a small and exclusive development in a truly spectacular location on the very edge of renowned Talkin Tarn. This delightful Cumbrian beauty spot is endlessly appealing and 1 Tarn End takes in glorious views over the peaceful waters and the surrounding country park. The quality of the property combined with the amazing location will appeal to interested parties looking for an idyllic home, a weekend escape or an investment opportunity to add to a portfolio of holiday cottages.
The development of twelve properties has been thoughtfully created through the restoration of a former hotel at the site, harnessing local red sandstone under slate to blend sympathetically into the local area. Exquisite décor and high specification fixtures and fittings ensure the ultimate in comfort, including modern touches such as underfloor heating to the ground floor. A private patio opens out to charming and perfectly maintained communal gardens, and there is even a private jetty for the residents to enjoy. Parking for two vehicles adds convenience and peace of mind.
The ground floor features a fabulous contemporary open plan layout with the sitting room flowing into the kitchen and dining area. Bi-fold doors from the sitting room sweep open to the patio for indoor/outdoor living in the warmer months. The full height glazing bathes the room in natural light that highlights neutral colour palettes and the clean, crisp lines of the décor. A log-effect fire acts as a focal point and the engineered oak flooring runs through to the dining area and on to the kitchen. Sleek modern units with granite worksurfaces house a range of integrated appliances including a Neff ceramic hob, double oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer along with a wine cooler for a touch of extra luxury. Elegant lighting illuminates the breakfast bar which also hosts the undermounted sink. The kitchen is served by a utility room with an adjoining cloakroom/WC.
Stairs lead to the first floor where two generous double bedrooms offer absolute relaxation. The light and airy rooms make the most of the elevated position to capture views over the unspoiled landscape. Each room benefits from a private en-suite. One has a lovely bathroom and the other a superb shower room, each finished to the same exacting standard found throughout 1 Tarn End.
Externally
A central courtyard created through the development of the former hotel provide a delightful approach to the front door of 1 Tarn End. The private patio is accessed directly from the sitting room and is a great spot for al fresco dining, or simply to soak in the views. The patio leads on to the shared landscaped gardens that wrap around the development with manicured borders and colourful plantings. The gardens continue right to the edge of Talkin Tarn where the private residents’ jetty extends out to the quiet waters.
