Description

This impressive residence is located just a short walk away from the vibrant and bustling town centre in Ulverston, famed for the many annual festivals held throughout the year including flag fortnight, retro rendezvous and the winter spectacle of the Dickensian festival to name a few. The cobbled Market Street and other town centre roads are lined with interesting boutique style shops, tea rooms, pubs, bars and cafes, indoor market, art deco Roxy cinema and Coronation Hall who host shows and events.

The design of the property displays a classic symmetrical appearance with the large panelled doorway to the centre, highlighted by the columns and projecting canopy above. 

The pleasing dimensions of the property are evident from the moment you step into the hallway where there is a grand staircase ascending to the equally spacious landing above. Decorative plaster mouldings, architraves, coving and panelled door ways hint to the property's status.

The extensive and versatile reception areas include a fabulous lounge, formal dining room, sitting room and a more cosy snug with a highly glazed porch that overlooks the upper part of the walled garden. Many of the rooms display ornate fireplaces, features that are also seen in the bedrooms too.

The kitchen offers ample floor space for a breakfast table to the centre of the room, open fronted wall shelves and a range of fitted cupboards and drawers incorporating and integrated oven, hob and concealed cooker hood plus a sink that is inset within the work surface. Space is available for a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. Additional storage is available in the two shelved pantry areas that adjoin the kitchen.   

The side hall leads to an enclosed courtyard area outside and to a smartly presented, modern shower room and separate laundry room.

The landing has doors leading to the first five bedrooms and to a side landing where there is a wet room with shower, WC and hand basin plus a separate 3-piece bathroom.

An eye catching glazed door with decorative/coloured glass accent panes opens to a further room with a tall, arched window that offers a lovely view along the upper part of the rear garden. Beyond here and reached via a further hall/landing area, there is a sixth bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a rather lovely view to the former Trinity Church.

The loft area is extensive and accessed via a staircase that leads you into a vast open room with several roof windows, eaves storage and doors to a bathroom, wash room and two further rooms. The main loft room had been utilised by a previous homeowner as an artists studio space.

Three basement/cellar rooms offer additional options, one is currently used as a pool room/games room and a second as a wine cellar.

The traditional walled gardens offers a large expanse of lawn with the lower section of the garden retained as a more natural wildlife space with tall grass and mown pathways. Mature trees provide height with the canopy of leaves/branches offering areas of dappled shade. A patio lends itself as a space to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

There is vehicular access through double gates from Lightburn Road onto a shared driveway where there is a garage (left side out of the two). The garage has power and light plus a huge loft area that extends across both garages.
