Lambs Cottage, Hawkshead, LA22 0NW

Sale of an immaculately presented 17th Century traditional three/four bedroom period Lakeland property with five reception rooms nestled on the edge of the village. The property benefits from a total refurbishment in 2012, which was done sympathetically and to an equally high specification including re wiring, re plumbed, new double glazed windows, oak doors and architraves, vintage radiators plus new bathroom. Whilst retaining many original features including exposed beams and a spice cupboard. Providing a superb combination of original traditional features with modern appointments. Then is 2015 the property was extended into the attached barn which again was converted to an extremely high standard following on from the previous works. The extension created a stunning new kitchen, utility room, shower room and hobby room on the ground floor along with an additional en suite double bedroom and additional sitting room.

Lambs Cottage is a stunning period property which is far more impressive than a cottage suggests, being deceptively spacious and having then being done to a 5 star standard offering highly versatile accommodation which could easily accommodate a reconfiguration to create a fourth bedroom, or have part of the property for a relative/work space.

As well as the enviable high specification the property enjoys lovely views to the front towards Latterbarrow and Wansfell Pike whist the rear west facing garden enjoys the afternoon sunshine from the extensive patio areas. Ticking another box is the superb parking area for approximately four vehicles.
