Description If you are looking for somewhere just a little bit special then stop, we are very confident that you have found it. This Detached, traditional Lakeland, picture perfect Family Home provides warm, comfortable, inviting, relaxed, peaceful living in spades - all within the stunning Lake District National Park.Originally a Farmhouse dating back to the 1860's this striking and handsome property stands in approx 1.5 acres of fastidiously kept Gardens which are an absolute credit to the vendors. The outside is as immaculate as the inside!Barrows Green retains much of the charm from the era with deep set windows and window seats, original doors, deep skirting boards, slate flagged floors, original en-caustic tiling in the Hallway, cold slabs in the cellar and pantries, the odd exposed beam etc, etc - the clever vendors have seamlessly blended these beauties with wonderful modern luxuries such as uPVC 'sash' windows, partial under floor heating, modern bathrooms etc. A real added bonus is that the positioning means it enjoys the sun all day long. As all the hard work has been done, literally, the lucky new owners just need to turn the key in the lock, move their belongings in and sink into a comfortable armchair by the fire and breath a satisfied sigh of relief.For those who like to put their own stamp on matters, do not despair, there are some areas that could be developed if you wish. The pretty stone outhouses have much potential. Currently utilised as storage (2 out of 3 have power and light) with a little imagination (and relevant planning consents) this could become a superb home office, gym, studio, workshop or perhaps even some accommodation? Similarly, the sizeable cellar (currently used as Utility Room) has scope to be a 'man cave', teenagers den or cinema room perhaps? Another interesting possibility the vendor has considered is perhaps building on part of the sizeable plot. There are two vehicular access gates for this property, one at either end, so access and ample space are definitely already there! Subject to the relevant planning consents there may be the possibility to build some ancillary accommodation that wouldn't even be seen from the main house.From the moment you enter the driveway you will be impressed with the splendid, well maintained and colourful gardens and the charming attractive Lakeland stone exterior of this picturesque home.The front door (complemented with roses around the door) opens into the closed Entrance Porch with windows to two sides providing lovely views into the Gardens. The traditional front door opens to the Hallway with staircase to the First Floor and wonderful, original 'Victorian' tiled floor. To the left is the Breakfast Kitchen. A delightful, bright room of very generous proportions. Window, with window seat and pleasing outlook to the front Garden. Recessed, original cupboard and ample space for dining table and chairs, flowing naturally into the central kitchen. This Kitchen really would be the heart of the home. Furnished with a range of shaker style, solid wood cabinets with rounded corners and central island with inset 1½ bowl sink. The incredible work surface is dark granite with a leathered effect. Integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher and Rangemaster cooker with extractor over. How many of us dream of a Pantry? Well here you have one. A walk in spacious Pantry with cold slab, shelving and slate flagged floor. A charming old latch door leads down the stairs to the Cellar. The Cellar is currently used as a Utility Room. The oil central heating boiler is housed down here and there is an external window and original slate floor. Oodles of space for washers, dryers, freezers etc and excellent storage. Of course, this is a versatile room and suitable for a variety of different uses.From the Breakfast Kitchen and via double doors from the Lounge is the formal Dining Room. A super, full width room with attractive slate flagged floor, under floor heating and 2 windows providing a lovely rear aspect. Ample space for dining furniture. The Rear Porch is a useful space for muddy boots and wet coats. The Cloakroom has a continuation of the lovely slate flagged floor and has enough space to accommodate a washing machine and tumble drier or shower, this useful Cloakroom has a frosted window, modern WC and small, wall mounted wash hand basin. Finally the fabulous Lounge, which is light and bright with a lovely outlook into the front Garden. Attractive feature fireplace with multi-fuel stove. From the Hallway the stairs with original pitch pine spindles and balustrades lead up to the spacious Landing. The Master Bedroom is a treat with rear aspect. Modern, tiled En-Suite Shower Room with a 3 piece white suite and Dressing Room. The Dressing Room has a wall of built in wardrobes and rear aspect. It would be a fairly simply task to add a door here which could create a Nursery or Study perhaps if that was of more use to the new owner. There are 2 spacious sunny Double Bedrooms both with delightful outlooks into the Garden. Bedroom 2 has a small walk-in wardrobe and very attractive En-Suite Shower Room which has a contemporary white suite and is tiled with Burlington Slate. Bedroom 3 has a lovely dual aspect. Bedroom 4 is the final Double Bedroom and is still very well proportioned and enjoys a side aspect. The Family Bathroom has a white 3 piece 'Victorian' style suite comprising roll top, claw foot bath with shower over, wall mounted wash hand basin and WC. Complementary tiling and Victorian style radiator. The decor throughout this home is tasteful and muted, upstairs in particular feels similar to a luxurious hotel.Outside is a charming stone building divided into 3 separate stores, 2 have power and light and 1 has a useful WC. Clearly, the possibilities for this building are exciting and varied or perhaps you would just like dry storage as it is! Around to the rear is a good sized covered 'Log Store'.The sizeable Garden naturally has several separate areas. To the rear is the pretty 'Orchard' with Damson Trees, lawn and wonderful spring flowers. There is a raised, paved patio and a super gravelled area which provides an enviable, sunny spot to sit and relax with a morning coffee or alfresco dining in the evening enjoying a glass of wine and the splendid views. Also to the rear is good sized timber 'shed' with power and light, previously used as a Home Office. There is a Greenhouse and several, raised, very productive vegetable plots. To the front of the property there is a wonderful Garden stocked with a variety of trees, mature shrubs which has naturally become a Wildlife Garden. This area is now buzzing with birds, insects, deer, badgers etc. The Garden is an absolute credit to the vendors who quite clearly enjoy maintaining its charm and beauty. Home to a vast range of plants and shrubs, some quite rare! In the Spring and Summer the Garden provides a profusion of colour with cleverly thought out contrasting colours, heights and textures. Mature and well established Rhododendron, Camellia, Hydrangea, Ornamental Weeping Pear, Acers, Twisted Willow Trees and many many specimen plants are perfectly interspersed between charming secret pathways, well stocked rockery beds and the wooded Garden at the top. Genuinely, words do not do this Garden, or indeed the home justice, it has to be seen to be appreciated. Location Barrows Green is nestled between the hamlet of Ayside and the village of High Newton and enjoys a high level of privacy, with good access to the A590 and good transport links to Barrow in Furness and the M6 Motorway.High Newton is within easy walking distance and has the highly regarded 'Heft' Public House and Michelin starred restaurant.

Mill Grange started life as a two roomed cottage in the grounds of Duncow Mill, on Duncow Estate. Over time, the property was extended and more land was acquired, extending the total area of the estate to 9.32 acres now. The current owner has carried out extensive developments and improvements, not only on the house but also on the grounds. Many trees have been planted, a tennis court was installed, a two bedroom Scandinavian timber chalet was erected and a large agricultural shed was built. In 2018 planning approval was granted to further extend the front of Mill Grange, using Portuguese Granite Stone; unique and individual to the area. Mill Grange has been thoughtfully designed, offering generous accommodation over two floors. High quality fixtures and fittings have been installed throughout. The front door opens into an entrance vestibule, with cloaks area and WC off.

In all, the accommodation in Mill Grange extends to just over 4,000 square feet.

There is a spacious open plan kitchen/sitting/dining room with galleried landing above, and there are two double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, as well as a utility room and plenty of storage in the eaves space.

Externally Accessed via a gravel drive with stone turning circle, Scalegate offers parking for numerous vehicles. Lawns and several patios wrap around the house and display wonderful, far-reaching views from all angles. Two detached barns are ripe for renovation or conversion, subject to any necessary consents, and the current owners use the ground floor of the larger of the two barns for storage and the first floor as a home gym. The two-storey barn adjoining the main house is currently a workshop, but also offers huge potential and includes a separate store and kennel. Scalegate covers approximately 0.75 acres in total.

LAWKLAND HALL A magnificent Grade 1 manor house, Lawkland Hall is as rich in history as it is in its stunning Elizabethan architectural detail.It is hard not to be impressed by the many period features, including oak panelling, linen fold panelling in the dining room, exposed floor boards, decorative over mantles, architraves, staircase and studded doors. There are cross-leaded windows, some with seats, others with stained glass panes set in stone mullions, stone fireplaces including a bolection-moulded fireplace in the principal bedroom and study, flagged floors and a stone door arch.Over the front door is a decorative stone moulding with the Ingleby coat of arms. Above the fireplace in the dining room sits an inset engraved stone with the initials J N A and Amicus Certus beneath a coat of arms. Above the door into the dining room, set in the stone surround, is an inscription I A:M 1679 the initials of Arthur Ingleby and his wife.Worthy of particular note, bedroom 8, known as The Chapel has a concealed 'priest hole', retained as a feature with a glass floor.

Home:* Built approximately in the 1800's* Lots of character, Pattinson style home* Lovely original features within the home* Stunning lake and fell views* 5 bedrooms* 3 bathrooms* Not listed* Large living and dining room with views onto the private gardenServices:* Oil fired central heating* Mains Water* Mains electricity* Private drainage* Council tax band 'G'Hidden away from the road, Bellmount House is set centrally on its plot, allowing the extensive gardens to provide a buffer between the home and the wider world, creating a true refuge. As you enter the driveway the house and garden do not give up their secret immediately. It isn't until you turn into the area in front of the house that the extraordinary view of Lake Windermere first makes itself known and the temptation is to jump out of the car and walk straight down the lawns to see more, rewarded by the ever-widening of the lake view ahead of you and, on a clear day, the majestic presence of the Old Man of Coniston, seemingly within touching-distance ahead.Predominantly Victorian, elements of the traditional Lakeland stone-built Bellmount House appear older, with an oral history suggesting the dwelling may have formerly existed as a row of four cottages before being developed by the Pattinson family in the 1800s. Long rather than square, yet with trademark Pattinson stone mullion windows and a formal main staircase, Bellmount House combines austere Victorian Gentleman's Residence with cosy cottage comforts for an utterly unique feel. Make your way indoors, via the gabled, stone quoin-cornered entrance porch, where a slate bench offers a resting place for debooting beneath the stone mullion window. Ahead, the Victorian iron studded door creates a sense of importance and arrival. The original bell-pull mechanism still works.Inside the entrance hallway, ancient beams are displayed overhead, with a narrow stone mullion window to the front inviting a shaft of daylight through. A home that has resisted the rash modernisations of many homes, the undisturbed original features of Bellmount House make it a unique prospect for lovers of antiquity and the true Wordsworth romance of the Lakes. The wide doorway of the drawing room opens ahead of you. A deceptively spacious room, a stone surround contains a Clearview log-burning stove set upon a slate hearth. Beams extend overhead, whilst a row of stone mullion windows frames leafy views out over the garden, best enjoyed from the seat beneath.From the drawing room, a door opens to a small garden terrace which basks in morning sunshine and is perfect for elevenses or brunch.Returning to the hall, turn to your right to explore the former servants end of the house, with the kitchen, breakfast room and boiler/utility room. The kitchen is a small but practical space where a cook can work deftly, affording the golden triangle ratio between sink, fridge and cooker. Stone mullion windows on two sides offer glimpses of the garden whilst exposed beams reveal the breakfast room beyond. As you pass into this room the character of this part of the building is enhanced by the outline of the second, cottage-style staircase leading up to the bedrooms above. The depth of the window seat indicates the solid build of the stone walls which are part panelled. The Breakfast Room is made cosy in winter by the multi-fuel stove but has the wide back door which can be opened up to bring in a fresh spring breeze. An original storage cupboard is fitted to the far side of the attractive fireplace. On the other side is a glass fronted double cupboard which conceals a former opening into the drawing room which could be easily restored to reclaim the connectivity of these rooms. From this room, the original heavy external door provides access out to the garden and utility outbuildings which give plenty of drying space for sports equipment, right by the door, as well as an outside tap for hosing down cycles, canoes or boots. Returning to the hallway, straight ahead of you now is the passage through to the other end of the house where a change of character can be detected, probably indicating the area developed by the Pattinson-era build into a Gentleman's Residence. Pass the quirky alcoves in the wall, and the deep understairs storage cupboard, handy for coats and boots. Reaching the end of the hallway, step into the large dining room. Light, bright and airy, the deep, stone-mullioned, box-bay window presents picturesque views down to Lake Windermere, where you can see the yachts bobbing at anchor.A treasure trove of original features includes picture rails and characterful honey-toned wooden flooring extending underfoot, whilst the corner fireplace, currently for ornamental use, is attractive in its simplicity and features a Lakeland slate hearth. An original door opens up into the stunning sitting room, where a deep, three-sided, stone mullion bay window reaches out into the greenery of the garden. Original honey-toned flooring, mellowed by the passing of time, extends underfoot whilst picture rails skirt the walls and warmth issues from the Clearview stove, snugly set within the stone fireplace.Take a seat by the window and watch the garden come to life before your eyes, as a variety of birds including chaffinches, woodpeckers, blackbirds and the elusive treecreeper frequent the bushes around the bird tables.Formerly used as a bedroom, this part of the house is handy for those with older relatives or those with accessibility requirements, as there is a modern wet room, with shower, wash basin, WC and heated towel radiator, found off a slate floor-lined lobby off the dining room. With cottage door access outside from this end of the home, leading to the barn, there is the potential to create an independent annexe out of the dining room, sitting room and wet room, if required.Returning to the inner hall, take the wide staircase up, with its easy shallow tread, where a stone mullion window on the turn offers a pleasant view out over the garden.Arriving at an intersection, a step to the left reveals the main bathroom, furnished with bath, shower, wash basin and WC and serving the master bedroom opposite.Opposite, lake views dominate from the stone mullion windows of the bountifully sized master bedroom, with further light entering from a side window; itself framing views out over the garden, fields and distant cottages.Tall ceilings reach down to the picture frame skirting the walls for a traditional sense of occasion. Supremely light and bright, wake up to ever changing views of Lake Windermere as the seasons rotate. Fitted beneath the window sill are cupboards and shelving. Turning right out of the bedroom, step up to an upper landing, before turning right to arrive at the second bedroom.Another capacious bedroom, stone mullion windows offer views out over the garden and barn to two sides. An Art Nouveau-style fireplace surrounds the metal grate and original brown tiles of the hearth, with original servant's bell still in situ to the side. Surprisingly spacious, this second bedroom offers access to the loft above.Moving along the landing, discover bedroom three, again featuring an attractive Victorian fireplace and with stone mullion window overlooking the garden. A room with a cosy cottage ambience, a beam set into the wall.Back on the landing, a quaint 'book nook' embellishes the wall, furnished with shelving and set beneath an exposed treacle-toned beam. Opposite, an angled door opens into the fourth bedroom, mirroring the cosiness and cottage feel of bedroom three and also overlooking the garden. Most of the bedrooms feature Victorian grate fireplaces with original servant's bell-pull at the side.Further along the landing on the left is a pleasantly light, high ceilinged shower room, with high windows spilling light down from above. With storage available in the linen closet (also housing the recently replaced water tank), this room also features a heated towel rail.An overhead skylight draws down natural light, continuing along the landing and beneath an archway to arrive at the original servant's quarters, where two additional rooms await, opposite one another. On the right is the larger room, previously used as a sewing room, and lit accordingly, with stone mullion seated window looking over the garden, Victorian grated fireplace and exposed wooden beams.To the left, an ideal study, or sixth bedroom should you wish, quietly tucked away from the main home yet with easy access down the rear staircase to the breakfast room and kitchen. New lino flooring and a painted fireplace give this an upbeat feel and suggest a home for creativity, a hobby room? The deep, seated stone mullion window looking out in the direction of the lake would be a place to reflect or take inspiration from the natural world outside.At the end of the landing the cottage staircase reconnects the bedrooms with the downstairs for a home with seamless flow.GardenOutside, lose yourself in the peace, privacy and picturesque elements of the acre of gardens cocooning Bellmount House. Lovingly planted with a selection of specimen trees including fir and spruce for an alpine effect, the secret spaces around three sides of the house open up to the spectacular view on the lake-facing side. It will draw you like a magnet to the lower lawn where, looking to the right across the fields, the Blackwell Arts & Crafts home is visible; take a look at the stone terraces which indicate what can be done to maximise the elegant impact of such a viewpoint. Something to try at Bellmount perhaps? If a closer look is required, the Arts & Crafts House is a five minute walk away and the cafe serves home-made cakes.Looking up from a hard-day's gardening to see the sun setting over Coniston Old Man has been a way of life for three decades at Bellmount and the deep and fertile soil of the annually manured plot needs only a quick turn to be back in business again. To the left, more beds surround the greenhouse in the sunniest corner, reminiscent of Mr McGregor's Garden, and there is even a sink for washing vegetables before they go up to the kitchen. The fencing bespeaks a long-running battle with Peter Rabbit and friends, but the cultivated area is so large and productive that there was usually enough for all to share. Returning up the path towards the house, another useful tool shed can be found. Loop around the side of the house past the barn and through the small gate to choose one of two paths around the rear garden; one along the formal terracing in front of the house, and another walk around the perimeter to discover a lovely secret garden route through bushes and trees and over a footbridge spanning a seasonal stream which usefully drains the garden on this side of the house in periods of high rainfall. Unique, filled with remarkable nooks and crannies and with a beauty that transcends the years, the gardens harmonise perfectly with the eclectic charm of Bellmount House.Barn storming potentialWith a number of large sheds, traditional potting sheds, outbuildings with toilets and laundry rooms, one building captures the imagination most keenly: the barn.An enormous, double height building, the barn could make a fantastic workshop for car enthusiasts, or those with their own business.However, there is vast potential, subject to planning approvals, to turn this home around, relocating the kitchen to this space. Imagine a glass-fronted, contemporary open-plan dining kitchen, where you can enjoy the last of the sun's rays on a summer evening, soaking up that view with a glass of wine.Such a transformation could allow you to utilise the existing kitchen as a laundry room, utilising what is currently the breakfast room as perhaps a boot room or drying room for wet suits. With its direct access out to the side, the current outdoor laundry room could easily work as an outdoor equipment room for bikes and canoes, or even be used as a potting shed. Let your imagination flow. The building is not listed and there are plenty of planning precedents in the local area.** For more photos and information, download the brochure on desktop.
