The elevated position brings glorious views across the gardens to magical Lakeland Fells beyond. The property is perfectly located to make the most of stunning local scenery, within walking distance of a local pub and with a host of amenities within easy reach. The property also benefits from a wonderful annexe within the gardens, known as The Coach House, which offers a wealth of opportunities. This can provide independent accommodation for a family member or guests, with living space, bedroom, shower room and kitchen facilities. It could also be used as a holiday property for interested parties looking for their own lifestyle and business opportunity in a popular yet tranquil location.

Scenery Hill House
The accommodation in the main house is laid out across three floors. The property has been renovated to an exceptional standard, with every detail carefully considered to create a welcoming atmosphere amongst gorgeous original features. The grand entrance opens to a vestibule and onwards to the central hall of the ground floor. There are three principal reception rooms, all generous yet with a cosy and relaxing feeling. The spacious living room is to the front elevation, whilst the sitting room to the rear is currently used by the vendor as a large design studio. This was originally the dining room and still retains the original oak flooring and plate rack that wraps around the walls. The current dining room has a comfortable seating area along with plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, all bathed in natural light from surrounding windows. In addition to these three rooms, there is also a lovely sun room that overlooks the peaceful gardens.

The lower ground floor has a large utility room with additional storage, space for white goods and external access. There is a generous double bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Adjacent to the bedroom is a large walk-in wardrobe and the lower ground floor is completed by a practical store room.
