A Symphony of History and Modern Living: Exquisite 18th Century Cottage in Appleby
Magna.

Nestled in the charming village of Appleby Magna, this stunning 18th-century cottage offers
a masterful blend of historical charm and contemporary luxury. With approximately 3,500 sq
ft of versatile living space, this property has been meticulously remodeled and extended
under the expert guidance of renowned local architect David Grainger.

This exquisite cottage has undergone a remarkable transformation. Originally two separate
buildings until the 1980s, it was unified into a single residence and then doubled in size in
2007. The result is a home that successfully preserves its traditional character while creating
modern living spaces perfect for contemporary family life.


Cleverly integrating the old with the new. The interior has been beautifully styled, featuring a spectacular living kitchen and high-end finishes, including tiling and sanitary ware by Fired Earth, alongside elegantly decorated living spaces. A unique feature of this historical development is the presence of three separate staircases leading to the first-floor accommodation, adding to the home's charm and character.

Step into a world where traditional character meets modern sophistication. The grand
reception hall, adorned with exposed roof trusses and travertine marble flooring, sets the
tone for this exceptional home. The heart of the property is undoubtedly the stunning living
kitchen, a testament to contemporary design with its vaulted ceiling, shaker-style cabinetry,
and high-end appliances.

For those seeking a quiet retreat, the sitting room offers a cosy sanctuary with its multi-fuel
Aga stove and oak-boarded flooring. Sliding barn-style doors connect this space to the
kitchen, creating a perfect entertaining area for larger gatherings.

The master suite is a luxurious haven, featuring a bespoke dressing area and an opulent en-
suite bathroom with Fired Earth fixtures. Five additional bedrooms, each with its own
character, provide ample space for family and guests alike.

Outdoors, the landscaped gardens offer a serene escape, with a patio area ideal for al
fresco dining and entertaining. Generous parking areas accommodating multiple vehicles, plus a single garage.

The range of outbuildings presents exciting possibilities for those considering multi-generational living or a work-from-home setup. Subject to necessary planning consents.

This extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural heritage, thoughtfully adapted for modern living. With its perfect blend of historical features and contemporary comforts, this home stands as a testament to skilled design and meticulous craftsmanship.
