4 bedroom detached house for sale

Millstones has been owned by the same family since 1992 and during this time has gone through a program of improvements. It is now a home that we feel ticks more boxes inside and out than one could ever need.

Location The Village of Bootle is a well kept secret in the Lake District. A small friendly village of approximately 1000 set in the most spectacular scenery. Black Coombe stands proudly on the edge of this village which boasts Convenience Store, Post Office, Cafe, Primary School and Railway Station with links to both Carlisle in the north and Lancaster in the south. One of the main attractions in Bootle is St. Michael's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and is known for its stunning stained glass windows. Visitors can also explore the nearby Bootle Station Heritage Centre, which tells the story of the village's railway history. The centre features a collection of railway memorabilia and artefacts, as well as a model railway display.

The nearest town of Millom is approximately 20 minutes by car and the stunning walks and sights of the quieter Western Lake District are within very easy reach. Golf is available locally at Seascale and Silecroft. Ravenglass, home of the narrow gauge railway fondly known as 'La'al Ratty' is just 8 miles away and provides fun for all ages along the 7-mile stretch of railway line passing through stunning scenery. Silecroft Beach is just over 4 miles away.

To reach the property from Greenodd, follow the road in the direction of Broughton in Furness for approx 12 miles, going through Foxfield and dropping down the hill to Duddon Bridge. At the lights continue over the bridge and follow the road, keeping right at the church. Follow the road for some distance until you reach the 'T' Junction and turn right signposted Workington & Whitehaven. Proceed into the village of Bootle, go past the impressive church on the right and Millstones Olde Farm House can be found just after the Café/Cycle Shop and Gym.
