Enjoying stunning views from all the rear windows towards Causey Pike, Grisedale Pike and the Newlands Valley in the near distance, this beautiful home is perfect for couples or families alike looking to explore all that this picturesque area has to offer. Step into a vestibule where you can kick off your muddy boots before finding the hallway which runs from the front to the back of the house and gives access to all the downstairs rooms. Allow the chef amongst the group to take over the contemporary kitchen, ideal for preparing those home-cooked meals with help from a selection of integrated appliances, before heading into the sitting room and enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
