Rose Dykes, Eskdale Green, , Holmrook, Cumbria
Semi-Detached House
An exciting opportunity to acquire a fine period residence set within a quiet area of the National Park in the pretty Lakeland village of Eskdale Green.
The property offers most versatile and well appointed accommodation arranged over three floors and presents a range of possibilities for the right purchaser. Perfectly suited to growing families or relocation, with the primary school just a short walk away, the property offers a truly idyllic setting in the village and a perfect base from which to explore the nearby fells. Having been previously separated into two self contained apartments, which consisted of a one bedroom ground floor flat and larger maisonette, it would be very easy to convert back to this arrangement, with either or both of the apartments likely to generate a very attractive income from holiday letting. This arrangement may also suit purchasers looking to relocate with a dependent relative.
The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hallway, spacious lounge with attractive bay window, further reception room/bedroom, dining room, office, modern kitchen, utility room and shower room to the ground floor. To the first floor there is a reception room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a further three bedrooms positioned on the second floor.
The property occupies generous grounds, with driveway parking for multiple vehicles and lawned gardens which boast a delightful open aspect to the side.
Viewing is essential in order to appreciate the size, location and possibilities offered by this fine residence.
Eskdale stretches from Gosforth through to the foot of Hardknott Pass close to Wastwater. The area is renowned as having some of the most picturesque scenery in the western Lake District, enjoying views towards the foot of Scafell to the north and sweeping west down the Eskdale Valley to the Irish Sea. Eskdale Green offers local amenities including primary school, nursery and a well stocked village shop, with more comprehensive amenities available at nearby Gosforth.
