Thorn Lea, Cartmel

The attractive, black uPVC front door opens into the welcoming Entrance Hall with stairs to the First Floor, side window, picture rail, plate shelf and striking ceramic tiled floor. A door to the useful under stairs storage with sliding door to the excellent Shower Room. The Shower Room is a huge bonus to the Ground Floor with frosted window, wood effect laminate flooring, shower-boarded with modern white suite comprising WC, shower enclosure and small wash hand basin on a cabinet. The Lounge is an elegant room with lovely bay window and window seat. Exposed wooden floorboards and stunning 'Victorian' style fireplace with open coal fire. The Dining Room is currently utilised as an additional reception room with attractive original cupboards to chimney recesses ( 1 concealing the gas central heating boiler which was new in 2021) and cosy wood burning stove. Wood effect laminate flooring and open to the super Breakfast Kitchen. From the Dining Room is the very useful Utility Room with 1½ bowl stainless steel sink unit, base cabinets and plumbing and space for washing machine and tumble drier. Arguably the headline of this property is the splendid Breakfast Kitchen extension. This lovely, very well proportioned space is light and bright with feature lantern ceiling, French doors to the Garden and further rear window. Bags of space for a formal dining table to one side - excellent for entertaining and daily family life. The Kitchen is furnished with a range of 'greige' shaker style wall and base cabinets with marble worktop, inset sink with mixer tap and matching upstands. Attractive range cooker with electric oven and gas hob. Integrated dishwasher, Belfast sink and space for fridge freezer.

From the Hallway the stairs lead up to the First Floor Landing with side window. There are 2 Double Bedrooms both with recessed wardrobes and picture rails, one with front aspect and one with charming rear aspect with views towards Hampsfell. Bedroom 3 is a roomy single room, currently utilised as an Office with front aspect and wood effect laminate flooring. From the Landing a door leads to the hidden stairs which deliver you to Attic Bedroom 4. This versatile room with 'Velux' window, reduced head height and exposed beams could be a Playroom, Study, Library, Studio or perhaps an occasional 4th Bedroom.

Outside to the rear is a good sized Garden with open views towards Hampsfell. There is a central, level lawn with deep planted borders and paved patio to one sunny corner. There are 2 useful stone Outhouses and a Summer House all with power and light and a timber wood store. To the front is a neatly gravelled private driveway that can accommodate 2 cars easily perhaps even 3 smaller ones. Electric charge point.

Location Situated close to and enjoying a view over the Secondary School playing fields and just a hop, skip and a jump from the centre of Cartmel. This pretty village is highly sought after and famed not only for its impressive architecture including the stunning 12th Century Priory and Gate House but also for Cartmel Races, Sticky Toffee Pudding and the fine dining at L'Enclume. There are several independent gift shops and several well respected Public Houses.

If travelling from Grange-Over-Sands towards Cartmel, turn left at the 'T' Junction at the bottom of Haggs Lane. Follow the road passing the secondary school on the left and take the next left in to Allithwaite Road. Thorn Lea can be found shortly on the left hand side.
