The Property
Croft House is a delightful double-fronted detached property, set in the picturesque semi-rural hamlet of Dubwath. Ideally located near Bassenthwaite Lake and the local sailing club, this charming home boasts breathtaking views of Skiddaw, the surrounding fells and is a beautifully presented tranquil retreat within the renowned Lake District National Park.

The bordered driveway, landscaped front garden and projecting entrance porch combine to create an attractive exterior. The interiors have been thoughtfully refurbished and are now immaculately presented, offering a move-in-ready experience.

Warm engineered oak flooring flows from the welcoming entrance hall through to the dining room and into the spacious, light-filled open-plan kitchen and family room at the rear of the house. The stunning kitchen, designed with timeless shaker-style cabinets and elegant quartz countertops, is equipped with premium appliances, including a Rangemaster stove, an induction hob, and an ultra-quiet extractor fan. A substantial sized kitchen island adds ample storage, workspace, and a spot for casual dining.

This expansive space allows for a spacious seating area complemented by a custom-built bookcase and storage unit. Two large sliding doors of Danish design and manufacture, crafted with timber interiors and aluminum exteriors, flood the room with natural light, provide serene views of the garden and create an inviting atmosphere perfect for both culinary pursuits and entertaining.

The separate sitting room boasts Amtico flooring and enjoys dual-aspect views that extend to Sale Fell. The design optimizes the space and creates an intimate seating area centered around an elegant granite fireplace housing a Chesneys wood burner. The ground floor also includes a comfortable double bedroom with built-in wardrobes located in the hallway, along with a pocket door that opens into a generously sized, accessible en-suite wet room.

Other thoughtful additions, including a useful under-stairs cupboard and a functional utility room that offers extra storage, a sink, space for freestanding appliances and plumbing for a washing machine.

On the first floor, you'll find a spacious airing cupboard that contains a pressurised hot water tank, ensuring a consistent supply of hot water for the power showers in all three bathrooms. All three well-proportioned double bedrooms are neutrally decorated and benefit from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom enjoys the added luxury of an en-suite shower room, while dual-aspect windows frame stunning views of Sale Fell out to the front and Binsey Fell to the rear.
