The Property
Bridge House is a quintessential Lakeland cottage that has been thoughtfully extended and renovated to an exceptional standard. Situated within the Lake District National Park, this delightful, detached home occupies a prime, elevated position with panoramic views of the surrounding fells. It also boasts immaculate, landscaped gardens, a detached stone-built barn, double garage, and two driveways providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

Upon entering the home, you're greeted by a modern L-shaped dining kitchen that is both functional and stylish. Full height glazing and a skylight bathe this space in daylight throughout the day. The kitchen features sleek, handless cabinetry and top-of-the-line Neff appliances, including a dishwasher, induction hob and integrated ovens. A substantial central island provides additional workspace and casual seating, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The adjoining cloakroom offers more valuable storage space and is already equipped with plumbing, making it easy to convert into a downstairs WC, if desired. It also provides convenient access to the side patio and the stone-built outbuilding. Additional storage space has been integrated beneath the staircase, maximizing the efficient use of space.

The sitting room is brimming with character, with exposed stonework and timber beams that reflect the home's heritage. A Chesneys wood-burning stove with a slate hearth and oak mantlepiece provides warmth and focus to the room. The New England-style orangery with a striking vaulted ceiling serves as an exceptional additional reception area, illuminated by expansive windows and French doors that open directly to the terrace and gardens beyond. A larger Chesneys wood-burning stove ensures this space remains cosy throughout the year, offering a serene retreat from where to enjoy the captivating views of the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, the half-landing leads to the smallest of the three bedrooms, a versatile space that is ready to be tailored to your needs, possibilities include a designated home office, a nursery or a luxurious dressing room to complement the two larger, beautifully decorated bedrooms found off the main landing. Both rooms offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape and are served by a contemporary Burlington-designed shower room with a large walk-in shower with a rainfall head.

Externally
The grounds at Bridge House have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of inviting spaces, from the stone-flagged terrace, ideal for outdoor dining, to expansive lawns framed by dry stone walls and mature planting. A detached double garage sits at the foot of the garden, with two driveways providing private and secure parking. Additionally, a detached stone and slate barn presents significant potential for conversion into additional living space, including a mezzanine level that is accessible via a ladder.
