1 Stainton Court, LA8 0LQ

Welcome to 1 Stainton Court, a charming four-bedroom semi-detached barn conversion enjoying a peaceful rural setting in the sought after village of Stainton. Combining character, generous accommodation and an exceptional amount of outdoor space, the property is particularly well suited to those looking to enjoy a countryside lifestyle, with approximately one acre of paddock land included on a separate title. The land was previously home to donkeys and offers excellent versatility for those with an equestrian or agricultural interest, hobby farming, keeping animals or simply enjoying the additional space and freedom that such a rare amount of land provides.

Stainton is an idyllic rural village surrounded by open countryside, while remaining conveniently positioned for Kendal, the Lake District and the wider road and rail network. Kendal town centre is within easy reach and provides an excellent range of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, while Junction 36 of the M6 motorway and Oxenholme Railway Station are also conveniently accessible. Oxenholme provides direct access to the West Coast Main Line, with services towards London, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The property itself retains a wealth of character throughout, including exposed original stonework, exposed timber beams, barn-style doors, high ceilings and excellent storage. The kitchen/dining room and principal bedroom are both positioned within the property's later extensions, with the exposed stone walls providing a particularly attractive feature and creating a wonderful connection to the property's original barn character.

Entrance is gained through the front door into the welcoming entrance hallway, providing access to the principal living accommodation, first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard with internal shelving, light and meters.

The sitting room is positioned to the left and enjoys a pleasant dual aspect, with front-facing windows and rear patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden and patio. A gas fireplace sits within a marble-effect inset and hearth, finished with a wooden mantel, creating an attractive focal point to the room.

Returning to the hallway, the useful utility room provides a practical addition to the home and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, incorporating a sink and drainer positioned beneath a rear-facing window. There is plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A WC and valliant gas boiler can also be found.

To the right of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room, providing an excellent family and entertaining space. The generous proportions allow plenty of room for a sizeable dining table, while the fitted kitchen occupies the rear of the room. The exposed original stone wall to one side, together with the exposed timber beams, creates a wonderful barn-style atmosphere, while windows to the front, side and rear provide plenty of natural light and lovely views of the beck and fields.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of grey base units and a larder cupboard, with a sink and drainer beneath the rear-facing window, an integrated Lamona dishwasher, space for a large fridge freezer and a freestanding Everhot electric range cooker finished in burgundy. A side door provides direct access to the patio and rear garden, making this a particularly practical space for family life and entertaining.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing, where the property's character continues with an impressive high ceiling and exposed timber beams. Two generous double storage cupboards provide excellent space for linen, towels and household items. The family shower room is positioned opposite and comprises a three-piece suite including a large walk-in shower with handheld attachment, WC and wash hand basin, together with a heated towel rail and front-facing window.

Bedroom three is a further double bedroom again with lovely front aspect views, while bedroom two is positioned towards the rear and provides a further double bedroom with a rear-facing window.

The principal bedroom is located on the opposite side of the property within the later extension and is a particularly impressive room, featuring the original exposed stone wall, high ceiling and exposed timber beams. A Velux rooflight and side-facing window provide an abundance of natural light, while an elevated hatch provides access to the loft space above bedroom four. A step leads down into the en-suite shower room, which comprises a corner shower with handheld attachment, wash hand basin, WC, wall-mounted heated towel rail and rear-facing window, a shower with a view!

Bedroom four is another well-proportioned double bedroom with a front-facing window, providing excellent flexibility for families, guests or those requiring a home office or additional living space.

Externally, it is the amount and versatility of land that really sets this property apart. To the front is ample off-road parking, shared with the neighbouring properties, while to the rear is an attractive flagged patio surrounded by established shrubs, plants and mature trees. This provides a lovely private area for outdoor seating, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A gate provides direct access to the road, while a flagged pathway continues through the lawned garden towards a useful storage shed positioned at the rear.

Beyond the formal garden lies the property's approximately one-acre paddock, which is included on a separate title and provides a fantastic opportunity for those seeking additional land. The paddock is divided into two separate field enclosures, providing flexibility for grazing or keeping animals, with a field shelter situated within one enclosure and a purpose-built stable within the other. The land can be accessed directly from the garden, as well as via a right of way over the neighbouring field to the rear. For vehicular use, the field can be accessed from the lane by the right of way through the gate into farmers field, turning left through the gate onto the properties field.

The combination of a characterful barn conversion, generous family accommodation, established gardens and approximately one acre of versatile paddock land makes 1 Stainton Court a particularly rare proposition. Whether you're looking to embrace a quieter countryside lifestyle, have an equestrian or agricultural interest, keep animals or simply enjoy the freedom and space that comes with owning your own land. This property offers an exceptional opportunity while remaining within easy reach of Kendal and the wider Lake District. Early viewing is highly recommended.
