Description
The house is presented to an extremely high standard with tasteful décor, exceptionally high quality fittings including handmade bespoke Kitchen, hand crafted stair cases and windows - the quality can be felt as soon as you enter. Naturally, during the sympathetic and painstaking restoration stunning original features were exposed and celebrated. Deep set cottage style windows with either lovely ancient wooden window sills or window seats, thick curved walls and endless, magnificent wall and ceiling beams. All rooms are of very generous dimensions.
The main, wide front door opens into the Hallway which is warm and welcoming. Slate flagged floor and useful under stairs cupboard. Charming, solid wood, latch handle doors are fitted throughout. The Dining Kitchen is dual aspect with windows front and rear. The front has a window seat and the rear window looks into the Courtyard. The Kitchen cabinets are particularly attractive and of exceptional quality being hand crafted from 'Elm' and completely bespoke which are complemented by the black granite worktops with inset stainless steel 'FRANKE' sink. Plumbing for dishwasher and washing machine, electric oven and gas hob. Space for fridge freezer. A vented cabinet houses the wall mounted gas central heating 'combi' boiler. Ample space for dining table.
The fully tiled Ground Floor Shower Room comprises modern white suite with corner shower enclosure, wall mounted wash hand basin and low flush WC. An external door from the Dining Kitchen leads out to the Covered Boot Room area - this space could be developed or enclosed further to create a Utility Room perhaps? Two doors lead into the adjoining Garage and there is an opening to the Courtyard.
From the Hallway the beautiful, hand crafted stair case leads up to the fabulous Gallery style Landing. There is a high level window for extra light with charming original window sill.
The Lounge is an especially lovely room with triple aspect having windows to the front and rear with French doors to the side opening to a Juliet Balcony and French doors to the rear leading out onto the wonderful treat that is the roof terrace. The roof terrace is quite private and spacious enough for outdoor furniture and perhaps a pot plant or two. A super spot to enjoy morning coffee or an evening 'G & T'. The cosy yet generous lounge has an array of exposed beams, a superb stone fire place which houses the wood burning stove and very pleasing views towards Cartmel Priory and Hampsfell in the background.
Bedroom 1 is a very spacious double room with window and window seat and French doors opening onto the roof terrace. Both providing super views of the Priory. Exposed beams. Bedroom 2 is also a generous double room with exposed beams and front aspect. The Bathroom style is perfect for the era of the house with roll top, claw foot bath, large wall mounted wash hand basin and WC with wooden top cistern flush. Exposed beams and frosted window. Half height wall panelling painted in soft grey.
From the Gallery Style Landing stairs lead up to the Second Floor. A large central room with an impressive array of exposed beams and two 'Velux' roof windows providing a versatile space (with some limited head height). There is great potential for many different uses - a Home Office perhaps? Hobbies room? Library? Teenagers Den? To either side of this space are the final 2 Bedrooms. Both have lovely exposed beams, 'Velux' roof window and reduced head height. This floor could make a superb Master Suite or perhaps an enviable floor for a couple of teenagers - the choice is yours.
Outside there are 3 Garage/Workshops. All recently rewired. All with good head height. All have power and light. The central garage has a chimney with potential to return to use. Excellent storage, excellent for the tinkerers or an excellent, secure home for a few vehicles (almost unheard of in Cartmel)! There is currently planning permission passed to alter the Garages into more workable space. The good sized paved Courtyard really is special. Lots of space for outdoor entertaining with the river Eea running along the bottom edge. Securely enclosed with solid high gates it really is somewhat 'secret'. There is a gate to a picturesque, private bridge over the river. (The bridge is not owned by the vendors but there is no access for anyone else!).
Adjoining the property is the Shop premises. Essentially a good retail space but the bonus is warm, quirky, characterful feels! The shop has an excellent display window and slate flagged floor. One or two charming recesses in the walls and a door to the WC. The WC has a window to the rear, gorgeous cobbled floor and exposed stone walls. 2 electric heaters. The shop is currently let at £4800 per annum.
The tenancy is currently on a month to month basis.
Location Tucked away privately just off The Square, The Old Coach House has a deceptively large footprint both inside and out.
Cartmel is a highly regarded village which has grown incredibly in popularity over recent years. It is a picture perfect English village with a handful of Public Houses, Coffee Shops, Tea Rooms and Independent shops. Cartmel is also known for its impressive architecture with the stunning 12th Century Priory and Gatehouse, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Cartmel Races and fine dining - in-fact, The Old Coach House is just next door to the famed L'Enclume Restaurant.
For a wider range of amenities, the nearest town of Grange over Sands is approx 5 minutes by car and provides Medical Centre, Railway Station, Library, Post Office and a range of Shops, Cafes and Tearooms.
Cartmel is very convenient to the Lake District National Park, the foot of Lake Windermere and is approximately 25 minutes from the M6 Motorway.
To reach the property if travelling from Grange over Sands, turn right at the 'T' junction at the 'Pig & Whistle' pub then first left. Right at the end of 'The Causeway' then follow the round around, over the little bridge into The Square, turn right, under the archway (just in front of the Sticky Toffee Pudding Shop) and The Old Coach House can be found shortly on the right. Next door to the Cavendish Arms Public House.
