Jaywood House is not only comfortable, relaxing, warm and inviting it is also attractively presented throughout with neutral décor and boasts a wealth of charming original features such as stunning exposed beams, beautiful original floor boards, incredible 'Mullion' windows, thick, rounded walls etc. Throughout the house there are lovely latch doors in keeping with the history of this house but we need to mention the door to Bedroom 2! Wow! It is incredible and if not original to this building it has certainly seen some history! It is beautiful. There are hardwood double glazed windows to the rear and either clever, bespoke secondary glazing or double glazed (around the Mullion windows) to the front. This is the sort of home you just want to curl up on the sofa in, with a good book and lovely glass of red wine and also invite over the whole family, young and old for weekends and holidays - a really joyous Family Home. There are delightful views from almost every window! The rear enjoys a lovely aspect with views towards 'Coniston Old Man', the front towards Black Combe.

Boiler cupboard housing the Vaillant gas central heating boiler and door to useful WC with wash hand basin.

The main return staircase within the house is wonderful and full of history - it is wide and shallow and on the Half Landing there is a lovely window with a charming view towards 'Coniston Old Man'. Further stairs lead to the First Floor Landing with large walk-in linen/airing cupboard. Bedroom 1 is a very well proportioned Double Room with exposed beams and original floorboards.

From the Landing the attractive return staircase continues to the Second Floor, passing another picture window to the front with delightful views. As you reach the Landing, 2 low doors lead to Store Rooms with reduced head height. Both have roof windows and would be, with a little tlc, very exciting playrooms for lucky children! The landing has a roof window and 2 storage cupboards.

Two charming low doorways lead to the 2 Bedrooms - this floor would be perfect for some very lucky children or ideal as 'His & Her' Offices or Hobby Rooms.

Jaywood House is set in approximately 3/4 acre of Gardens - the perfect sizeable Garden to compliment a sizeable home! Loosely divided into 2/3 different areas - there is a large level area with gravelled pathways, filled with vegetable beds, soft fruit cages and Greenhouse plus the well concealed shared septic tank. This area will please even the keenest of growers! Adding to the allure of this wonderful Garden there are a couple of stone former Piggeries and a log store. There is a lovely paved seating area which provides some wonderful views towards 'Black Coombe, White Combe and Stickle Pike' - we believe the sunsets here are utterly breath-taking. Finally there is a large area of lawn, ideal for the children/grandchildren to enjoy a 'kick about'! (A fairly new ride on lawn mower may be available by separate negotiation). This Garden is perfect for entertaining and even for the most energetic and adventurous of children! Towards to end of the Garden is an orchard with productive apple, pear and plum trees. Immediately outside the front door is a charming, paved and sunny patio area (facing almost perfectly South) - ideal for outdoor dining or an evening glass of wine!

Vendors Comment: We fell in love with the house from the moment we first stepped inside - that feeing has not left us in all the 22 years we have lived here. We feel we are guardians of a piece of history, the home was probably used by a yeoman farmer whose land may once have belonged to the Huddestons of Millom Castle.
