House in Cumbria

About this property

This house has been in the same family ownership for three generations since it was built by the current owners forebears. It s situated in the small hamlet of Little Langdale in a scenic valley that consists of a scattering of houses and a local pub. There are plenty of amazing walks right from the door such as Lingmoor Fell to Great Langdale and Elterwater, Wetherlam and Tilberthwaite fells all within 6 miles of this property. Take a drive through steep but scenic Wrynose Pass (3 miles) or Hardknott Pass (6 miles), or take a trip 5 miles east to explore the delightful town of Ambleside. Enter this impressive property, through the entrance hallway with access to the open plan ground floor area with huge windows. The stylish lounge/dining room offers stunning views perfectly framed by the two sets of French doors and bay windows. Comfortable sofas and a coffee table are arranged around the feature fireplace allowing guests to relax in front of the Smart TV and cosy flame effect gas fire while taking in the views. Two sets of French doors open from here to the rear terrace and garden where you will find the hot tub and loungers. The kitchen also benefits from a spectacular view to the west, quartz worktops, central island with a couple of chairs, and French doors which open out onto the terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a six ring gas hob, electric double range oven, combi microwave oven, warming drawer, fridge, under counter freezer, separate wine fridge, Magimix coffee machine, and dishwasher. Also off the hall is a cloakroom with WC. The family room is down six steps on the lower level with additional Smart TV and sofas. On the lower floor is the utility room equipped with two washing/drying machines, sink, worktops, cupboards and dog area. Up to the first floor, we have the snug area with a comfortable sofa for quiet time reading a good book or the morning papers. Also on this level is the master and first of five bedrooms, all but one benefit from stunning southerly views across the valley.
