Originally a farmhouse with attached barn, Garth Nook is an individual period detached property with character and original features. It nestles in a popular, sought after rural location on the fringes of the Lake District National Park.
It has recently been refurbished including new gas central heating and wiring and has been redecorated throughout. Set in its own secluded grounds, Garth Nook has 4 bedrooms, two reception rooms, a family bathroom and two separate toilets (one of them downstairs).
This property consists of:
Paned glass front door with access to the entrance hallway. The traditional spindled staircase leads from the hallway to provide access to first floor. Stripped wooden doors from the hallway lead off to the two reception rooms and cloakroom.
Lounge (15 x 1211) Formal living room with UPVC double glazed window to front aspect and French door leading to the Southern garden. The room benefits from a living flame cast iron gas fire with tiled hearth and original complimentary surround. Stripped boards provide the flooring and there are several power points; centre light point; telephone and TV aerial points.
Reception 2 (164 x 1211) UPVC double glazed windows to front and rear aspects. The wood burning stove set into the original fireplace makes this a cosy and inviting room. This room also benefits from power points and TV point. Another stripped wooden door leads through to the farmhouse-style kitchen.
Kitchen (158 x 151) Being the heart of the house, the kitchen exudes character, from the traditional sash window to the gas-fired Rayburn range and the beamed ceiling. Comfortably houses a good sized dining table. Fitted cupboards and a walk in pantry provide ample yet discrete storage for family life. To the side of the Rayburn is a traditional built in wall cupboard with shelving, whilst another built in cupboard serves as a display unit with a light. As well as the Rayburn, there is a halogen ceramic hob and the Belfast sink with swan mixer tap has plumbing underneath for a washing machine or dishwasher. Lighting is from wall lights and there are plenty of power points both above and below the work surfaces as well as a telephone point.
Pantry (4 x 52) Accessible via a stripped plank door, the pantry has an opaque glazed window, fitted shelves, light and power.
Passageway with original slate flooring has a cupboard currently housing a tumble driver and provides side access from the front garden with access also to the attached barn and kitchen.
Attached Barn (182 x 164) Wooden double doors on the gable end of the barn make it possible to use this space as an attached garage. The barn has ample storage space and has power and lighting. The Ferroli central heating boiler (fitted in November 2003) is housed in the barn. Subject to appropriate planning permission, the barn lends itself to further development as an extension of the living space.
First floor half landing has a large double glazed picture window with views to the hills and surrounding countryside. The stairs continue to the first floor landing with loft access, power points, a double glazed window to the front aspect and doors with access to the 4 bedrooms, family bathroom and upstairs toilet.
Bedroom 1 (151 x 133) Dual aspect windows overlook the fron and side gardens and the room has a large fitted wardrobe with hanging rails and drawers. Power and TV points.
Bedroom 2 (1211 x 115) Window to rear has views over the hills and surrounding countryside towards the village church of Kirkby-in-Furness. A wash hand basin and original floorboards complement the room which has TV, power and telephone points.
