Tucked along a leafy lane, opposite the village green and 17th century church, this former vicarage dates from 1803 and now stands as a beautifully reimagined country house.

Set within an acre of private gardens, this light filled home flows beautifully, with a dream kitchen at its heart, and ample space to savour slow mornings, long evenings, and everything in between.

A Grand Entrance
Arrive through the private gates onto a sweeping gravel drive, where there is plenty of room for parking, as well as a 3 bay garage.
An ancient Cedar of Lebanon frames the lawn, as you first glimpse this handsome home with symmetrical sash windows and a stately stone portico. Arts and Crafts style windows grace the porch, offering a warm and characterful welcome as you step inside.

High ceilings rise above you, lending a sense of space and calm. To your right, the staircase curves upward, quietly inviting you to explore the rooms above. But first, step straight ahead into the study.

With bespoke cabinetry and views over the south facing garden, it s a work from home haven steeped in heritage. A feature fireplace brings character and warmth, while the soft, neutral palette makes this a peaceful space to focus and create.

Make your way into the drawing room, where sunlight streams through tall sash windows and bounces off the grand mirror set into the wall s deep alcove, making a striking feature that anchors the space.
French doors open onto the wide terrace beyond, gently blurring the boundary between indoors and out. A multi fuel burner stands ready for colder months, and with generous space for seating, this is a room made for lingering through every season.

Return to the hallway and continue into a central space that offers access to all areas of the ground floor.

A grand piano sets the tone for entertaining, while a nearby sitting room offers a quieter pocket of calm. Perfectly placed for conversation quiet reading or television, it features a fireplace and large windows that let natural light spill in throughout the day.

Step through into the boot room, where a second entrance welcomes you home from adventures outdoors. Inbuilt cupboards offer dedicated storage for coats and boots. Tucked just beyond, the cloakroom is home to a WC and washbasin. A separate boiler room houses the newly installed boiler.
Cross the inner hallway to reach the formal dining room. Light filled and generous in size, it holds onto its Georgian past with an elegant sash window. Two lovely hand built glass cabinets sit either side of the fireplace

Return to the inner hallway and make your way into the kitchen and feel the scale of it. Almost 40 feet of handcrafted cabinetry, solid wood and hand painted, by House of Elliott of York. Leathered granite sweeps along two long central islands. To one side, the breakfast and coffee zone. To the other, the cook s domain.

Here, everything has its place. At the heart of the kitchen, a 4 door electric Aga takes centre stage, its presence echoed by a leathered granite splashback that ties in seamlessly with the surrounding cabinetry.
Radiating gentle warmth alongside the underfloor heating beneath your feet, it s both a practical companion and a quiet source of comfort.
Other appliances include, two Neff CircoTherm slide and hide ovens, as well as a third that steams. A Neff microwave, twin Neff dishwashers a Neff induction hob. 2 Fisher and Paykel fridge freezers and 2 Quooker taps, one for each sink are included.

Non slip grey tiles underfoot make easy work of spills and splashes, grounding the space with both practicality and style. With its classic Georgian proportions and thoughtful layout, this is a kitchen made for everything from slow Sunday roasts to lively dinner parties and spontaneous late night snacks and a great space for family and friends to gather.

Pull up a seat at the breakfast bar and keep the cook company, glass of fizz in hand, as aromas begin to fill the room. Or wander into the garden room beyond, where inside and outside living flow together with ease.
Framed in floor to ceiling glass with sliding doors connecting directly to the kitchen, the garden room captures the view like a living painting. Start the day here with a morning coffee, or slide the doors open and wander straight onto the terrace.

On cooler evenings, light the log burner and let the warmth settle in. This is a room for every season and every occasion.

Retrace your steps through the kitchen and step into the walk in pantry. Shelves are neatly arranged, cabinetry generous, and a blackboard ready for shopping lists.

Back in the kitchen, flow into the adjoining spacious family dining room. Sliding doors open to the terrace and garden, while a full wall of bookshelves adds to the ambience. To the right, the wine store area is ready for entertaining, with matching granite worktop two Fisher Paykel wine cabinets and shelving for glassware.

A discreet cupboard offers extra storage, and just beyond, the utility room houses the washing machine, dryer, sink and further cabinetry keeping everything expertly in its place.

Take the stairs from the dining room and discover two versatile rooms, currently set up as bedrooms, one with bunk beds, the other a generous double. Ideal for guests, hobbies, a home gym or cinema snug, these tucked away spaces offer flexibility in spades.

A large bathroom sits nearby, complete with a walk in shower, WC and washbasin, adding comfort and convenience to this level.

Continue up to the top floor and step into a spacious television lounge with views of the garden and countryside. A peaceful retreat, extra bedroom or creative space, it s yours to shape as life evolves.

Make your way back to the entrance hall and ascend the Georgian staircase. At the top, the landing opens wide and welcoming, with linen cupboards offering discreet and practical storage.

Straight ahead, step into the principal bedroom suite. Light streams through tall windows, drawing your eye to the feature fireplace and high ceilings above. A doorway leads to a spacious dressing room with walls of inbuilt storage, keeping everything effortlessly in order and beyond that a secondary dressing room.

Flow through into the en suite, where a freestanding roll top bath invites you to sink into warm bubbles. A large walk in shower, dual washbasins, and a WC complete this spa like retreat.

Next door, a generous double bedroom mirrors the same proportions of lofty ceilings, soft light, and sense of calm.
At the opposite end of the hallway, discover another bright double bedroom with its own en suite, complete with shower, WC and washbasin, perfect for guests or older children craving a little independence.

Return past the staircase and continue right to find another double bedroom, and just across the hall, the family bathroom, with its roll top bath, walk in shower, washbasin and WC.

At the far end of the hall, the final bedroom offers a quiet and restful space. Dual aspect windows let light pour in from both sides, and built in storage keeps the space serene. Its own en suite, complete with walk in shower, WC and washbasin, makes it feel like a private hideaway within the home.

Gardens and Grounds
Step outside where the gardens unfold across an acre, quietly enclosed and carefully planted to reflect the changing rhythms of the seasons. A path of gravel winds its way through mature trees and beneath the wide arms of an ancient Cedar of Lebanon. Other specimens include a copper beech tree, three oaks, ash, established acers and two Katsura trees. A 3 bay garage sits neatly to one side, with 2 bays for cars and 1 for storage, built in 2022 and made to last.

This is a garden that invites you to explore. It was recently opened under the National Garden Scheme, and it shows. Paths curve gently, offering ample spaces to enjoy and explore. Discover the treehouse known as The TreeTrunk House, its log store tucked beneath, waiting for winter fires. There is also a large shed for garden tools and projects.

From the garden room, step through French doors and out onto the broad terrace. It stretches across the rear of the house, the perfect stage for long lunches and evening drinks with plenty of seating areas wonderfully placed to ensure entertaining is effortless.

In under 15 minutes, you can be shopping in Windermere, dining close by at Heft in High Newton or at L Enclume in Cartmel or enjoying the spa at The Swan in Newby Bridge. Perfectly placed, with everything you need close by, this is a home that ticks all the boxes.
