Crake River House, Spark Bridge, Ulverston, LA12 8BS

The property is immaculate and presented to a very high standard with modern fitments throughout including a contemporary kitchen with modern units, LED ceiling lights, pine doors and large multi fuel stove.

The Crake Valley, one of the lesser known Lakeland valleys, offers a very peaceful and picturesque environment for either a permanent home or for attracting holiday rentals. At the head of the valley is Coniston Water and the rising uplands of central Lakeland with the River Crake flowing through Spark Bridge into the estuary of Morecambe Bay and nearby Greenodd. Within the Lake District National Park, Spark Bridge is a small but vibrant rural community, with plenty of local activities, a village hall and two pubs within walking distance of Crake River House. Whilst positioned in a quiet private courtyard there is good road access nearby to the A590, giving a quick access to the M6 junction 36 and rail connections at Ulverston or Oxenholme. The popular market town of Ulverston is only a short drive and offers a wide range of amenities and good range of local shopping.
