family home, the additional benefit of two highly successful and popular

holiday lets being sold with forward bookings (‘The Byre’ and ‘The Hayloft’),

there is also a large detached stone barn and the original ‘Laundry Room’

which is extremely versatile but currently lends itself perfectly as a home

office/hobby room with the advantage of an en suite wet room. This

inspiring Lake District property provides the perfect home for a variety

diffi cult to decide which room one would spend the most time in at Bank

House, but this certainly has to be a contender! Full of charisma and

traditional features, the kitchen cabinets have been hand crafted locally

and are topped with Silestone worktops, upstands and the slate fl oors

that enjoy underfl oor heating and all add charm whilst the sash windows

of this room for a generous dining table, a great space for entertaining the

whole family. A practical built in cloaks cupboard is a great addition for

hanging coats and muddy boots! From the kitchen, the welcoming hallway

with exposed fl oor boards, is full of quirky and in keeping exposed features

and sets the tone of what to expect from this striking home. A useful

ground fl oor facility, adjacent to the kitchen is where you will fi nd the

pantry, which houses the original meat slabs and contains slate fl oors with

an abundance of shelving. The snug is such a gorgeous cosy room; exposed

beams, sash windows with a window seat providing perfect viewing enjoying

elevated views of the sea and the Duddon Estuary, oak fl ooring and a

multi fuel stove set in an inglenook fi replace, this is certainly to be enjoyed

is a versatile space which is used at present as a study; this too enjoys some

fabulous aspects. Originally the old dairy, a couple of steps lead down into

the sitting room, this is a stunning room with beautiful sash windows to

two sides that provide light but also allow viewing of spectacular vistas,

the double doors provide access into the garden and patio area. A beautiful

fi replace houses a living fl ame, adding to the country charm of this Lakeland

home.
