Devonshire House, Devonshire Square, Cartmel, LA11 6QD

Description Devonshire House is the sort of property you may walk in to and initially be a little stunned/overwhelmed - it may take a while to fully digest the tasteful décor, incredible original features and luxurious touches. It is a real treat.

Having only been lightly used as a 'holiday let' several years ago, this property is now a luxurious second home. It is very apparent that the vendors have a talented eye for interior design and a clever way of sympathetically putting together modern day luxuries with original features.

This property will appeal in particular to those seeking a high end holiday home or the investor for the holiday let market as traditionally Cartmel is incredibly popular and the place to be! The property is filled with impressive beams, deep set windows with window seats, a mullion window or two, exposed floorboards etc etc - all adding to the charm and soul of this lovely building.

The low front door from the cobbled front opens into the Vestibule and then into the Open Plan Ground Floor. This space is impressive. From the tasteful and quality decor to the exposed historical features - the overwhelming feelings are inviting, luxurious and relaxing. This space naturally divides into distinct areas. The first, a relaxing, reading or quiet corner in front of the beautiful mullion window which looks into the private courtyard. The second is the lovely Lounge area with twin, shuttered front windows with window seats - a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by! This space is arranged around the cosy, recessed wood burning stove. Charming recessed spice cupboard. A little further in, is the Dining space which leads naturally to the Kitchen. Wow - what a superb space! Fitted with a wonderful, quality range of shaker style, soft grey, curved edge base cabinets and central island with seating for two and white granite work surfaces. Deep Belfast sink and integrated appliances including wine fridge, dishwasher, fridge freezer and washing machine. Fabulous black range cooker fitted into the wonderful, former fireplace with stone mantel. Cooking in here would be a real treat and no effort at all! Large under-stairs storage cupboard and external door. This whole space has an impressive and heavily beamed ceiling and wood effect flooring. All windows except the mullion window are shuttered and there is a triple aspect.

The staircase (with window) leads to the First Floor Landing which leads to the 3 Bedrooms and Bathroom and Linen Store. All Bedrooms are doubles with deep set windows, window seats and wonderful exposed beams. Bedroom 2 has an original cast iron fireplace (not in use) and En-suite Shower Room with a modern white 3 piece suite comprising corner shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin on vanity unit. Access to useful under stairs cupboard. Bedroom 3 has super, original floor boards and exposed stone fireplace (not in use). Bedroom 4 is currently utilised as a Twin Room. The Family Bathroom is tiled with white, Victorian style suite comprising bath, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. Beamed ceiling.

Stairs from the First Floor Landing lead to the Second Floor landing with 'Velux' roof window and quirky recess with beam over. The Master Bedroom enjoys immense proportions! Space to create a dressing or lounging area if desired! Twin shuttered front windows with window seats and exposed ceiling beams. Across the Landing the luxurious and very spacious Bathroom with some reduced head height has a 'Velux' window, charming, low level windows, tiled walls and impressive beamed ceiling. Comprising a central, freestanding claw foot bath, WC and wash hand basin. Feelings of a luxury hotel come to mind on this floor!

Externally there is a small paved Courtyard Area with handy outdoor Store. The rear gate leads into the back lane and gives easy access to the river and the popular Unsworths Yard.
