Description
Description Bank Court is a delightful, comfortable, inviting and characterful property with both historical charm (deep set windows, window seats, exposed beams and 'rounded corners') along side modern 'accents'. This Grade 2 listed property is definitely one for those who appreciate something a little different, quirky charm, lovely old features etc. Superbly situated in the square of the picturesque and atmospheric village of Cartmel. Tastefully decorated and furnished (furnishings included in the sale, apart from personal effects) this delightful home is either ready to move straight into or beautifully arranged to continue with Holiday Lets! The layout is versatile and can be arranged/utilised in many different ways so suit all needs!
The main rear door opens into the Kitchen. A well equipped and well laid out Kitchen with an attractive range of shaker style cream cabinets and solid wood work surfaces. Lovely 'Butlers' sink, range cooker, wine fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer inclusive. Recessed ceiling spot lights, engineered oak flooring and deep set window with outlook into the pretty Courtyard.
A door opens to the stone steps that lead down into the Cellar which is a good size with some reduced head height, but ideal storage and perhaps Utility Room potential?? The Sitting Room is a nicely proportioned room with side window and window seat. Attractive, shelved, recessed cupboard and lovely cast iron open fire with slate hearth which creates a lovely focal point. The Dining Room provides ample space for formal dining with multi-pane bow window to the front with storage below and exposed ceiling beam. External side door.
The Inner Hall has recessed book shelving and large 'Westmorland' window over the stair well - part open to the Second Floor - a very unique feature. The stairs rise (and split) and lead to the Bedrooms, Bathroom and 2nd Floor. Bedroom 1 is a generous Double Bedroom with front window providing charming views into the village square. Recessed shelved cupboard and steps up to En-suite Shower Room which provides enough space for a small dressing area and has a white WC, wash hand basin and corner shower enclosure. Recessed wall cupboard and front window. Bedroom 2 is a further good sized double room with window and window seat to the side and very attractive open fireplace (not in use). The Bathroom has a 'Victorian' style white suite comprising bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. Recessed ceiling spot lights and chrome towel rail. Recessed cupboard housing the wall mounted gas central heating boiler. From the Bathroom a door leads into a very luxurious little room! Use it as you like! Currently arranged as a Dressing Room with dressing table etc with window and window seat to the rear. It could perhaps fit a single bed in, definitely a cot or perhaps, although in an unconventional position be used as a Study?
A door on the Landing opens to the steep steps that lead to the Second Floor. Bedroom 3 is a most charming room brimming with character. Exposed beams, charming, low level deep set window with roof top outlook and cosy yet airy feel. There is a useful En-Suite WC and wash hand basin and the room is open to the 'Family Room'. Another versatile room really! Very generous in size with some reduced head height with a wealth of beams and 'Velux' windows. Currently used as a 'Chill out room' but whatever works for you! Eaves storage.
Outside, to the rear there is a small area - large enough for a bistro table and chairs and a pot plant or two - a real bonus in the village.
Location World famous for the Cartmel Races steeplechase meetings and the highly prized L'Enclume restaurant, Cartmel also boasts stunning historic architecture including the 12th Century Priory and Gate House. With several Public Houses, Coffee Shops, Bistro and a handful of eclectic shops it is easy to see why Cartmel has gained such a popular reputation.
Just 5 minutes by car is the town of Grange over Sands with Banks, Library, larger shops, Medical Centre, Promenade and Railway Station. Cartmel is conveniently placed, approximately 20 minutes from the M6 motorway and a similar distance to the foot of Lake Windermere and all the attractions on offer in the central Lake District.
To reach this property if travelling from Grange over Sands, once in Cartmel, turn right at the 'T' junction and then next left by the 'Pig & Whistle' pub. Turn right at the end of 'The Causeway' then follow the round around into the village. Over the small bridge and Bank court is along on the left hand side in the square itself.
