The Property
Jays House is a spectacular new conversion of a former Dutch barn offering a striking modern home surrounded by glorious countryside and close to the Lake District National Park. This sleek and modern new home, created by local craftsmen under the supervision of award-winning architects, features stunning design and an outstanding specification. The result is hugely attractive as well as remarkably energy efficient and eco-friendly, achieving a rare and remarkable EPC rating of A. This has been achieved through high standards and close attention to detail at every stage of construction, including impressive levels of insulation, VELFAC triple glazing throughout and the latest generation of solar panels with intelligent controls. The superb quality of the construction is married with gorgeous interior décor to offer hugely desirable living, with luxurious touches such as zoned heating throughout.
The generous parking area provides access to the magnificent open plan sitting, dining and kitchen space. The atmosphere is bright and airy with clean lines and a truly contemporary finish. The kitchen area features sleek high-gloss fitted cabinets, providing a huge amount of storage, with complementary Silestone quartz surfaces and integrated sink. The superb range of Bosch appliances includes an induction hob, twin ovens, dishwasher and twin fridge freezers. The porcelain tiled flooring flows throughout the rest of this wonderful space to the well-defined sitting and dining areas. Fabulous sliding doors open to the patio creating the perfect indoor/outdoor living space. Off the kitchen is a useful utility room with storage, sink and space for a washing machine and dryer. The utility also houses the OSO 250-litre hot water cylinder.
The ground floor has flexible further accommodation. A double bedroom is served by a beautifully appointed shower room with natural marble tiling and luxurious underfloor heating. Another room is currently configured as an elegant snug with a hideaway office area but could easily be utilised as a fourth bedroom complete with walk-in wardrobe. This room also has external access and is a great spot to work from home, with the added benefit of the ultrafast broadband available at Jays House.
The fantastic styling and specification continue to the first floor where there are two further lovely bedrooms and a family bathroom. All of these rooms have high curved vaulted ceilings reflecting the shape of the original Dutch barn, and all are spacious and light. The bedrooms have fabulous far-reaching views towards Lakeland fells in the distance.
Externally
Jays House is approached via a tarmacadam driveway onto a parking area with plenty of space for three vehicles. The parking area boasts an EV charging point, and there is also preparation in place for the installation of electric gates.
Automatic dusk-til-dawn lighting illuminates the property. The generous gardens have been thoughtfully designed to offer ease of maintenance. An attractive patio area paved in Italian porcelain wraps around the rear of the house with space for al fresco dining and entertaining. Wonderful views stretch away over the peaceful surroundings. Steps lead up to the lawn which is surrounded by a mixture of hedging and fencing. Colourful plantings and shrubs dot the borders and boundaries, and there is an impressive fully insulated garden store with light and power.
